A fabulous dark rum from Ron Santiago de Cuba, which has enjoyed eight years of maturation before being bottled up. Great value for money, offering up a huge flavour profile of caramel, sweet honey, oak, and toasty spices. Will make for some excellent cocktails and mixed drinks, we reckon.
Crunchie bars, orange oil, cinnamon, oak, a hint of mango.
After a recent visit to Cuba I was drinking Santiago most days which I loved because I thought it so smooth compared to other popular brands, suffice to say this 8 yr was sublime I’m itching to to try the 12 yr
Floral and citrus notes like Havana Club Especial (and Angostura 1787) and not much else. Lacks the balance of leather, tobacco and oak of HC7, and therefore a bit underwhelming.
Just over half way through my first bottle, so second sitting! Most definitely not disappointed. Rum is more golden than dark to me and I drink it with cola mostly. When I drink it, it has a lot of lovely flavours on the tongue. I will most definitely be buying another bottle or two!
Fantastic rum for the money
