8.3/10

Blind tasting Nose: reserved/closed, profile-wise Foursquare or Belize, not alcoholic at all, Palate: wow, there's quite a bit of alcohol in there, I estimate just under 60%, definitely not Foursquare or Belize, has a floral note, lots of sweetness, dried fruits, a bit musty again, very round and balanced. I exclude Jamaica and Guyana. The floral note confuses me, I have no idea what's in the glass. Finish typical Foursquare again... I guess Central America, Spanish style, I rarely have this in the glass but this one is really good.

7.9/10

Nose: slightly alcoholic, reminiscent of calvados. As soon as this has evaporated, the floral-fruity character emerges. Green apple with a dash of lemon, plus a muted sweetness like honeycomb. A light vinegar note comes through, followed by clove and a hidden hint of caraway. Now it also becomes sweeter, burnt sugar. The finish is then slightly woody, tobacco and leather, and still Calvados. Palate: no longer as light as on the nose, fuller, spicier, darker. Bitter, nutty, slightly salty. The sweetness tends towards nougat. Dark chocolate with mocha. But there is also a slightly floral note, perhaps violets. The finish remains bitter with violets and Calvados again. Not bad at all for a Cuban. They're usually always too Spanish, alcoholic and light for me.

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.
