Havana Club Pacto Navio

A commercial rum, maybe good for cocktails but mediocre quality...

Bought this in duty free, I liked the look and the story.
Chunky embossed bottle, fancy label.
Aged in ex-Sauternes casks, I was hoping for something like the Foursquare Zinfandel edition.
Sadly not.
In the glass there is very little aroma.
On the tongue it is very sweet (4/5).
The predominant flavours are - surprisingly - Oak and smoke. A real lack of fruit was disappointing, considering the efforts that had gone into casking it (allegedly shipped across the ocean in the wine casks).
In summary a reasonable attempt of a mainstream producer to make a special edition, but the exact process is not declared, too much sugar has been added and the flavours have not really come through.

Overall the sweetness kills everything else in this rum. The aftertaste is pretty good but Im struggling with taking another sip.

nič specialnega, v primerjavi z rumi v podobnem cenovnem rangu...

Nice, I must reccomend to everyone who likes to enjoy sunny day with a glass of good rum in their hands.

The impression is brighter than Havana Club 7 year.
"Seleccion de Maestros" is better at the almost same price.
However, this is not bad rum. Still I do not want to buy this rum one more time.

Dlouho jsem k němu neměl kladný vztah, dnes jsem mu dal šanci a jo..., ve vůni ovoce, chuť zpočátku sladkost měnící se v rumovější, dlouhý ovocný dozvuk
Velmi příjemný

not a bad ron but nothing great for the price
light vanilla taste at the end
not too sweet

Un rhum avec de l'arôme mais il manque de corps.le vieillissement en fût de sauterne ne se fait pas assez sentir.

Pour moi, absolument aucun intérêt. Au nez, seul l'alcool m'est venu, et en bouche, il m'a procuré autant de plaisir que n'importe Havana Club pour cocktail... Je n'y ai pas trouvé de profondeur, ni de goût véritablement marqué.
