Havana Club 15-Year

Truly loved sipping on this rum in Royal lounge at Paradisus Princesa del Mar. This rum itself made the upgrade worthwhile.

Знакомства с этим напитком я ждал долго. Пришлось даже слетать на Кубу, чтобы добраться до заветной бутылки.
И скорее я разочаровался. 15 лет выдержки не стали для меня чем-то выдающимся. Скажу больше, классический семилетний ром Havana Club мне нравится гораздо больше.

Vůně jsou nevýrázné, možná vanilka a rozinky
sladký rum, ale ne moc.
V chuti je dřevo
75/100

This is solid cuban rum.
Aged with strong body.
But I think price is overrated

I've always liked the 3 yo HC and it's typical flavor profile. Comparing it directly to the SDM and the tributo 2021, the tributo was better - more refined, balanced etc. - the SDM's flavor profile is similar to that of tributo at less that an 10th of the price. This 15 yo is also nice but with very different flavors compared to the other two at 140 euros. So, SDM is definitely my winner.

A colleague bought me a glass of Havana Club 15 year (over a single rock) while in the United Kingdom for work. My first glass of a true rum (versus the standard Bacardi and Coke at a bar or party).

I was never one to drink any liquor straight and I was skeptical of drinking it but I grew to enjoy it more and more after each sip. While it was a hand full of years ago I do recall its smoothness and lack of expected afterburn (even though there was some burn). I really enjoyed it.

There's not much more to say other than it led me into the world of rum. My first time as they say. We cannot purchase it here in the States but I would certainly like to come across it in my travels again some day. See if it was as enjoyable as the first time.

You definitely taste the wood, but also chocolate and fruit. Not a great value proposition (you're paying for all the Angel's Share) but you won't regret it if you like something reminiscent of whiskey.

Best Havana I’ve tried. Smooth, warm and inviting. It certainly delivers but at £11 a go it needs to.

Fine rum with a hard character. Slightly sharp at the beginning, it develops its flavors well afterwards. Exceptional rum for cigars.

At Rum Point in the Cayman Islands in 2018. Was very good, aged well. Vanilla, stone fruit, and molasses flavors. To the restaurants credit, they made sure I understood what I was ordering at least three times.
