Ron Varadero Añejo 7 Años
Opinions run middling here: some enjoy this little Cuban for its dry, easygoing character, while others find the alcohol too far forward for a 7-year-old at 38%. Expect tobacco, orange peel and a toffee-cocoa sweetness, plus a grassy, slightly tannic finish. One taster loved "the dryness of this rum," another simply wouldn't buy it again — a fine, unfussy sipper without much depth.
The community says- Dry character
- But: Alcohol too forward
- But: Not much depth

The look inside the bottle
How does Ron Varadero Añejo 7 Años taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Dry, tobacco-led Cuban with sharp alcohol Split verdict: pleasant tobacco, caramel and orange, and a nice dryness, but the alcohol reads sharp for its age and there's little depth. Several say better Cuban 7-year-olds exist.

Review by Vincent D
J'ai eu l'occasion de terminer la bouteille d'un ami en fin de repas et j'ai plutôt apprécié ce petit cubain qui ne manque pas de vivacité malgré son faible degré. Tabac, caramel et zeste d'orange. Pas beaucoup de relief mais plutôt sympa. Je suis surpris des notes qui me semblent dures !

Review by Hans-Peter Jank
Smells and tastes of tobacco. The alcohol is too overpowering for my taste. I won't be buying this rum again. There are better 7-year-olds from Cuba.
Review by StormAK
Зажатый аромат, но он ромовый. Петушок на палочке (карамель), трава, сладость. Вкус сначала обволакивающий, потом немного бочковой терпкости затем травянистость. Послевкусие ниже среднего, бочка и трава.
