Cubay Anejo

This rum has a sentimental value for me, when I lived in Cuba and did not have the possibilities that I have now I used to drink it with my father every time we saw each other. Apart from that I think that for the cost it has is pretty good

Discovered this rum in Cuba and was surprised. Everyone always talks about Havana club but Cuba is much better. The smooth dark red label is my favorite but the dark brown label is also very tasty. I like it best with ginger ale however it mixes very nicely with mango or guava juice.

I can see many reviews here referring to the sweetness of the rum which leads me to the conclusion that many mistakenly reviewed Cubay Anejo Suave here. Cubay Anejo is quite recognizably the younger brother of the delightful Cubay 10y. The smell, taste profile and aftertaste is similar to the 10y, although not so elaborated, but for the price it is more than I would expect. The nose is leather, oak and tropical fruits, ended with aged calvados scent, the taste is smooth, toffee and fruits, with a bit of oak, black tea, aftertaste is mild toffee with black tee, ended with a lovely spicy tobacco bite. This is balanced, unsweetened, light but crisp and for the money surprisingly smooth and complex rum. The more I compare this to others, even much pricier rums, the more I appreciate the fine scents and flavors of this little darling. Since I discovered Cubay Anejo, I keep myself well stocked with it.

I love the taste of this. More on the sweet side with just the right amount of burn. Typical liquorice and molasses flavours. Easy to get carried away with.

I bought a bottle of this to enjoy with my late night cigars on the balcony of my room in Veradero. With an ice cube, it provided the perfect end to the day. So smooth and relaxing and so incredibly Cuban.

Too bad that this Rum is hard to find outside of Cuba. Price is nice as well as taste. Little less sweet than Havana Club family.
Still 100% local and natural.

Great drink for your hip flask while sat watching the football in the peak of winter.

Liked this one best from our trip to cuba verry nice on its own and great for mixing

Toto je rum, kterým to u mě opravdu začalo. Skvělý poměr výkon / cena. Jemný, chutná i mé drahé, ne příliš sladký, jak často podobné ruky jsou

Sampled this light Cuban Rum (38% ABV) with fruity and coffee aromas and an oaky finish. This Rum is definitely a bargain @ $7.60 CUC for a 70 cl bottle in Cuba. In spite of the low price this Rum is a decent bargain sipper.

Update (2019-11)

Had occasion to enjoy several new (to me) rums during a recent trip to Cuba (some I liked while others just were not my thing). The majority of these rums are meant to be consumed with coke or some other concoction but since I drink my rums “neat” my reviews will be rated might accordingly.

Although young, the Cubay Anejo rum is not bad even when drank “neat”. Some sweetness detected but still very good.
