Mal was anderes!
Review by Tim
Ein platziertes Produkt von Havana, das Gin den Kampf ansagen soll. Die Wacholdernote ist da sehr eindeutig und lässt diesbezüglich keinen Zweifel. Es ist, was es ist, aber eine positive Erweiterung des Havana-Rums ist es nicht.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Of course, the question is whether the world needs it. Clearly 'No, but...'. - the approach is quite interesting. It is an approach, albeit a strange one. Could have some potential and is therefore exciting. Smells like Havana 3 with Almdudler syrup and a thick shot of lime. Pure, the whole thing is very sweet and citrusy, has a bit of Ricola with more menthol. Out the back a bit tangy. Works with tonic but actually splendid. Kassiert loose the bulk of stink boring current gins. I'm curious whether a category was triggered or the stuff disappears again quietly from the market.

Nur zum Mixen geeignet.
Review by zabo
Gerade nochmal der Nachbarin als Cocktail serviert, weil er ihr so gut schmeckt 😅. Naja so kriegt man seine Fehlkäufe und Schrankleichen auch los. Aus Neugier nochmal pur verkostet, ne das ist absolut nicht meins. Als Mixer persönlich auch nicht mein Geschmack. Aber zum Glück gibt es Nachbarn. Da er aber wohl als Mixer gut ankommt, nehme ich an das er für andere trinkbar ist.
Review by Skyfly
Eigenartiger Rum, da Wacholder fast am intensivsten ist. Hab im Rahmen des Umzugs ne Anbruchflasche gefunden, die wohl nicht ohne Grund nie leer würde. Neben Wacholder starke Zitrusnoten, Gewürze und etwas künstliche Süße. Für die breite Masse vielleicht im Longdrink geeignet, aber nicht zum pur trinken.
Review by Gregor
Rarely drunk such a bad rum. The herbs are absolutely inharmonious and sting partly
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
well... Havana's attempt to jump on the gin and tonic bandwagon... they could have stayed... quite nice with tonic actually but somehow also another product what the world would not have needed.
Review by Johannes
Neutralalkohol meets Limette. Nicht viel mehr.
Review by Timo Groeger
Junge was soll das bitte schön sein? Mit Rum hat das ja mal gar nix zu tun. Schmecktvwie der Name schon sagt einfach nur grün, nach Garten irgendwie. Einfach ekelhaft, den kann ich nicht auftrinken, baah...
Review by Portman
Strange drop... in Tonicwater interestingly not so bad, pure cruel.
Review by Hendrik Fröhlich
Hat mir pur nicht geschmeckt. Insgesamt viel zu dünn, Gewürze kaum zu schmecken. In der Daiquiri ok, aber langweilig.
Review by Leo Krüper
I had bought in the summer on sale and thought worse than a white Havana Club 3 can not be. But far from it. Always had a disgusting cough drop alcohol note. Totally unbalanced and tasting like a headache. Even as a mixer off-putting. Tipped the whole bottle away.
