7.5/10

Foreword: We didn't become lifelong friends: Quite pleasant freshness with apricots and a slight sweetness on the nose. Taste-wise round, without faults, moderately integrated alcohol. Plus a very present peaty note that also defines the finish. Certainly well crafted, not bad for Cuba, but it didn't win my heart, one sample is enough...

8.4/10

Can only agree with one of the other reviewers, I have exactly the same association: a light rum with fruity notes and a pleasantly long finish.

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.
