Mediocre rum. Aroma very restrained, you have to pull everything out. Taste is a handful of dried fruits and that's it. Didn't like it neat. Maybe suitable for cocktails.

6.5/10

Not meant as a sipping rum but it’s reasonable. The nose is fairly flat and harmless, the mouth is caramel and spice with some ethanol and alcohol that is not quite integrated. The finish has a bit of spice and more caramel. Good in a daiquiri and how I would tend to drink it

Avg Rating 7.1/10 over 610 Rums

Cuba taught the world to drink rum light. This is the island that gave us the Daiquiri, the Mojito and Bacardi, and the smooth, column-distilled Spanish style that became the most popular rum on earth. Today its rum is entirely state-run and shut out of the United States, yet Havana Club still ranks among the Caribbean's biggest brands.
