Very strong alcohol smell. Almost like jet fuel. Very little flavor and what little there is is fairly bitter leading to a rather harsh burn. I have tried the real Cuban Havana Club rum and this stuff doesn't hold a candle to the authentic Cuban stuff. The bottle reads that it's "Puerto Rican Rum". Puerto Rico should disown this swill.

This stuff tastes like vodka, which is fine if you want vodka. If you're going to be mixing it I suppose it will do, but there is not enough flavor for this to stand alone. Disguise it without hesitation.

To be clear, as you probably know, this is not Cuban. It's also NOT the same as Havana Club Anejo Blanco currently available. It's been gone for years and you'll never get to try this if you haven't before now.

When Bacardi first released a Havana Club rum, it was available only in white and only in Florida. It was the first time experiencing a rum that didn't taste like Bacardi silver or 151 and it opened my eyes to being a rum fan above other liquors.

It was much sweeter than the current rebooted national version and probably had added flavorings to rush it out. I know there were a lot of negative reviews online at the time, and I assumed they were political because it was just so good.

Sure, I was a novice at the time, but to my memory this will always be my most favorite rum ever. It was also very different from the dryness of the current version which made me stop buying Bacardi's Havana Club long ago.

I do want to mention, to my memory, Sergeant Classick Silver shares some of the same, but not all, the characteristics with this.

When a rum is barely distinguishable from industrial solvent cleaner, and tastes like a poorly crafted vodka, does it even deserve to be called a rum? I was incredibly disappointed with this. It lacks character, flavor, or any redeeming qualities. It is neither a rum nor a vodka, being far to crappy to fit either bill. Unless your sole point in drinking this is to get drunk, in which case there are much cheaper and cleaner products out there for those living the life of a chronic public inebriate, steer clear.

80 proof. Sip test, no ice
Resembles rum, but very green with ethanol finish. It is an unaged white rum, fairly smooth as they have printed on the bottle, but it is pricey and is piggybacking on the original Cuban Havana Club brand (I have not yet tested).
Empty glass lingering nose indicates fireplace ash. Sipping is an effort. Not worth the $26 per 750 cost, even as a mixer.

The aroma is sweet but that's it. The taste is smooth with very light burn. The finish is not short with flavor of molasses. In my opinion, it can be used for sipping but it'll be boring (almost like drinking vodka). Due to the lack of big flavors, it's more suitable for mixing. I prefer the Bacardi version ( Bacardi silver superior) because it's a bit more flavorful and delivers a stronger punch.

Very clean and clear when poured neat. There are some light floral notes on the nose, but they are overpowered by the alcohol. In the mouth, there is a bit of rum flavor, but an astringent-ness that resemble moonshine. It's palatable, but not enjoyable on it's own. Decent in a Cuba Libre or Mojito.

Itโ€™s actually made in Puerto Rico. Also not worth your time.

This is fuel grade booze. Period. I wouldn't even spike a punch with it.

I love a good mojito! The best mojitos I've ever had are always in Cuba. I tried to recreate when I got home... and it wan't until I used Havana Club White that I got it right. It has a distinct taste... which on it's own or even with Coke isn't the best. But when it's time to make the perfect mojito... Havana Club White is what you need to use! End of story. To summarize.... if you make a mojito... use this rum... otherwise, pass.
