Havana Club 7-Year Rum is distilled from fermented molasses and aged in charred white oak barrels for seven years.
Havana Club rum is still made in Cuba - where the company was founded by José Arechabala in 1878 and then nationalized in 1959 after the Cuban Revolution. Havana Club is now jointly owned by Pernod Ricard and the Cuban government.

I love 7 year with coke. Makes the best cuba libre. A dry, smokiness with notes of molasses. Staple back bar product

With this rum. I gave it 8 stars because I often use it as a cocktail mixer in recipes that call for lighter rums, ie Daquiri's. It really blends well and with lime creates a great drink. Not a sipper for me but a versatile cocktail rum.

The rum which showed me that aging was something good for the spirit and opened the door to many others. Survives mixing but can also be sipped over ice

Shorter finish with only a hint of spice. Some rubber and barky hints. Not overly complex.
Lovely dry rum, little oaky with a short 'n' sharp taste. I'd recommend it.

It's the best one available at the supermarket, either that or Mount Gay Eclipse. I went for this tonight because I wanted something a little darker to try the 'Dark and Stormy'. Just killing time till my online order of finer rums arrive in a few days.
I like the Rum Howler's reviews, especially the one about this rum where he imagines being in a smoky bar with a burly bartender wiping the sweat from his brow before wiping the bar with the same towel.
I get what he says. I'm new to trying to distinguish aromas but the smoky tobacco is unmistakable. This needs to air a while before sipping, but it's better with coke zero.
I thankfully stopped smoking a while ago but after a few glasses of this you want to break out a 20 pack of Embassy number 1 and deal the cards, talk shit as your vision gets hazy, sleazy women propping up the bar. You could say this rum takes you to Havana, while not a top rum it's cheap and worth the road trip, at least until the El Dorado 12 gets here x roll on x
