An average rum, for the price you can buy the better Caribbean rums

The best rum of Havana Club I've tasted so far. Smooth and definately above average for me!

The Cuban Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros is a blend of 10-year-old rums which had a finish in new oak barrels. The rums are reportedly personally selected by the maestros of Havana Club and than bottled directly from the Barrels with 45% barrel strenght, although i think it is a little small. Sugar and sugar caramel are added to the rum. The bottle is stylish and appealing.

The Hanava Club is very good in the nose at first. Intense smoke and wood notes make it interesting and appealing. I think the rum can clearly score here. Typical Havana Club notes are recognizable. I gave the Rum air for 10min. Intense smoke and wood aromas as well as tobacco are immediately to be tasted on the palate. There is some caramel sweetness recognizable. Some chocolate or cocoa comes through. Fruity notes are completely missing here. The Finish is a little disappointment. Too Short and with an alcohol note, the Havana Club says farewell to the taste buds and from the category Premium Rum. That is simply not enough.

Update Oct2020: The finish has improved significantly. The rum could breathe a little in the bottle. Overall, the rum got better over time. Now also smoky oak notes and seasoning are more clearly recognizable and the alcohol has lost presence. Nice

The Havana Club has great interesting approaches that I really appreciate. The combination of smoke, wood and tobacco notes are very appealing and the dry character direct and authentic. The departure, however, shows that the rum is only an increase of the 7 year Havana club. But for that it is overpriced and for 40-50 euros there are better rums to purchase. I'm glad I got him on special offer. It's fine for the holiday. Will have my joy with him and also test in Coke. Nostalgia! Havana Club made me a rum fan and I had almost all the Havana clubs for mixing. Now I wanted to see if the maestros can offer more.

Der kubanische Havanna Club Seleccion de Maestros ist ein Blend aus 10 Jahre alten Rums welche nochmals gemeinsam in neuen Eichenholz Fässern gelagert wurden. Die Rums werden angeblich von den Maestros von Havana Club persönlich ausgesucht und dann direkt vom Fass mit 45% Fass Stärke abgefüllt, obwohl mir das etwas gering dafür erscheint. Dem Rum wird Zucker und Zuckerkulör hinzugefügt. Die Flasche ist stilvoll.

Der Hanava Club ist in der Nase intensiv. Rauch und Holznoten machen ihn interessant und ansprechend. Ich finde hier kann der Rum klar punkten. Typische Havana Club Noten sind erkennbar. Ich habe den Rum 10min atmen lassen. Am Gaumen sind sofort intensive Rauch und Holzaromen sowie Tabak zu schmecken. Es ist etwas karamellige Süße erkennbar. Etwas Schokolade oder Kakao kommt durch. Fruchtige Noten fehlen hier komplett. Im Abgang dann die Enttäuschung. Kurz bis mittellang und mit einer erkennbaren Alkohol Note verabschiedet sich der Havana Club von den Geschmacks Knospen und aus der Kategorie Premium Rum. Das ist einfach zu wenig. Er bietet wenig Nuancen und der Alkohol bleibt am Gaumen.

Update Okt2020: Der Abgang hat sich deutlich verbessert. Der Rum konnte in der Flasche etwas atmen. Insgesamt wurde der Rum mit der Zeit besser. Nun sind auch rauchige Eichennoten und Würze deutlicher erkennbar und der Alkohol hat an präsentz verloren. Schön.

Der Havana Club hat tolle interessante Ansätze die ich sehr schätze. Die Kombination aus Rauch, Holz und Tabak Noten sind sehr ansprechend und der trockene Charakter direkt und authentisch. Der Abgang entlarvt dann aber das der Rum nur eine Steigerung des 7 jährigen Havana Club ist. Dafür ist er überteuert und für 40-50 Euro gibt es bessere zu kaufen. Ich bin froh das ich ihn im Angebot bekommen habe. Für den Urlaub ist es schon ok. Werde meine Freude mit ihm haben und auch in Cola testen. Nostalgie! Havana Club hat mich zum Rum gebracht und ich hatte fast alle Havana Clubs zum Mixen. Jetzt wollt ich gucken ob die Maestros auch mehr bieten können.

Perfect work from the masters, my favourite everyday rum is the Havana 7 years, but this is the improved, older version. The strength is not felt, not intrusive but silky, creamy and sophisticated.

Me ha sorprendido su suavidad, no se notan los 45, está bueno....igual era un siete alto, pero está bueno por los 27€ que me costó me gusta, pro por precio hay otros mejores y más baratos, en general los rones cubanos no son los que más me gustan.

I had real expectations for a HC product, but it did not deliver, it is inline with the rest of average products, but it is completely mispriced.

Great full flavor, very smooth, just at right level of sweetness. So easy to sip that I finished bottle before my next trip to Cuba

mooie amber kleur, droge pittige smaak.
Accenten van leer en hout.
Niet geheel mijn smaak.

Surely one of Cuba’s finest rums. Dry, not a hint of sweetness, and at 45% it’s about as strong as I tend to go.
Alcohol at first which quickly fades to leave a lasting taste of wood and leather, with a deceptively gentle burn.
Comes well presented and worth the extra few pounds it costs.
Far too good for mixing, so enjoy it as it was meant to be.
Enjoy, graham.

First tine I had it I thought this was super special ... very smooth with great flavour... not overpowering... still one of my top 10 runs but there are better ones out there

I am a huge fan of Havana Club 7 as a go to after work rum that plays well with ice, lime wedge and a dash of coke for color.

I am no expert - just know what I like. This Seleccion has a nice punch of alcohol with dry palate and hints of wood and citrus. I had a few straight with just a couple of ice cubes and squeeze of lime and then tried with coke. Definitely Italy better straight. Coke sweetens it up a bit too much and knocks down some of the flavors.

Try it you won't have any regrats. Not even one single letter.....
