Havana Club Barrel Proof

an outstanding and affordable rum for the money not the gold standard but tasty and dependable better than your average rums

I have read a lot about this rare rum and then bought it from ebay (it is possible but difficult and expensive). What a moment when we opened box with three 1L bottles :) I have not opened it yet but found a bar with Barrel Proof on menu, quite a luck.

So to the review: colour, smell and taste is absolute delight. Have not yet tasted better rum. Toffee, oak, cinnamon. 45% means strong afterburn but not unpleasant. Want more! ;)

škoda že už se nedá sehnat, alespon tady v čechách, jeden z nej rumů co jsem kdy pil, ještě mám doma cca 0,3l v lahvi, schovávám na nejhorší.

All of a sudden all my bad experiences of Havana Club rum are blown away. Unfortunately a bit too expensive...but anyway....

I really enjoy that bottle. Great full flavor, very smooth, just at right level of sweetness. So easy to sip.

Aún tengo 2 de estas botellas, es un buen ron. Normalmente es lo que esperas de un ron cubano, fuerte y seco.

Higher proof but smooth, with lovely but bit alcohol smell, and superb balanced taste. The sweetness is right on spot, smooth vanilla caramel taste with hints of oak and nuts taste is so mellow it is almost perfect sipper for me. Although I cherish the Seleccion very much, the Barrel Proof just won my heart.

Gillar denna romen skarpt. Den är sjukt prisvärd och en av mina favoriter helt klart

Smooth and sweet classic rum combined with barrel wood flavor.
Barrel proof has its name from the fact that it is bottled directly from the barrel.

Te vroeg van deze fles geproefd, toen nog niet ‘volwassen’ genoeg. Wel al meteen onder de indruk van de smaak, krachtig en zwaar. Zou graag voor een herkansing gaan.
