Havana Club Selección de Maestros

thank you to the community for this recommendation within this brand - its spot on! Great value at $45 CAN (April 2024) and a very approachable sipper. What really is noticeable is the smooth taste and long finish of this rum. great flavor and not as sweet as the other cask finishes I have been enjoying lately. Different in not a bad way but a complimentary offering to my rum journey. I have no hesitation in my recommendation. Cheers.

It's so velvety and rounded, a perfect aged cuban run - the standard for everything else. Have only ever had it for huge events so I'm sure that is tining my view.

7,5:The nose of this rum is clear and rather frank. It's a traditional Hispanic rum, simple and effective. One senses the warmth of roasting nuts, toasted wood and leather. Caramel and vanilla are treated with finesse and delicacy. The cane with pear/apple notes shines through. A well-crafted, balanced nose.
On aeration, a certain sweetness compensates for the alcohol emanating from the glass. This is a rather light rum, with a caramelized woodiness. Through this woodiness, hints of mango add dynamism. Smaller, drier notes of straw and hazelnut powder are enveloped in reduced cane syrup.
8,5:On the palate, simplicity is still the order of the day. We savor crushed red berries that are immediately sprinkled with caramel and molasses. The palate then becomes drier, with a toasty woodiness that releases a few roasted spices.
7:The finish remains in continuity, rather dry, with burnt caramel.

Its got everything I could ever want from a rum. It has a nice flavor from the aging barrels, and a very nice developed molasses flavor. The flavors are subtle but well rounded. Its also very smooth for being a 45% ABV. Much smoother than the lower ABV Añejo especial and 7 Year. All around a fantastic rum.

Great Cuban rum with smooth, sweet, leather and oak notes. Pretty good for the price too. Obviously the rum goes very well with a hand-rolled Cuban cigar, so thats always a bonus. Will likely buy again because it hits all the marks.

God något kryddig rom som man vill sitta länge med.

Café tabaco y especias, profundo y consistente. En boca cálido y especial

Ez lett a kedvenc rumom! Hidegen és szobahőmérsékleten is fantasztikus. Nem túl édes, nem túl száraz. Rum íze van, nincsen benne semmi fűszer, ami divatos mostanában. Igazi kubai feelingg!

Awesome Cuban rum. High alcohol, best tasted - not drank. Tremendous finish.

One of the best rums I tasted very smooth smoky and nice aftertaste
