8.1/10

Amazingly complex - initially a pleasant freshness of tropical fruits, floral notes, fully ripe mango, a bit of peach, sugarcane and spices of allspice, pepper and anise. Even the reduced strength is absolutely fitting. Very good.

Better than expected. Actually find it pretty cool. Lots of honey and vanilla on the nose, quite sweet, but still okay. On the palate, quite alcoholic, beeswax and wood are clearly noticeable here. A so-so rum.

6.6/10

On the nose: Honeycomb is the main note. Nail polish/chemical note in the background. Slightly alcoholic. Light vanilla and citrus notes. Taste: Alcoholic and intense at first. Then you get light sweet honeycomb notes. Light woody notes. Light citrus notes. Light olive brine notes. Salty. Finish: Chemical, light menthol/eucalyptus notes. Olive brines. Salty. Thin. Too alcoholic with too thin notes for my taste. As this rum sits in the glass, the started to loosely remind me of Haitian rums.

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.
