Havana Club Selección de Maestros

I am NOT a Big fan of Havanna Club, but with this one they have really found the right way to make it.

I was hoping for more from the mystery of Cuban rum. Good but I was expecting smoother, for the price.

I bought my bottle in Cuba and I love the marketing around it's concept. The rum for me is average in everything and too high in bite. Would not buy it again.

A dissapointment for that price, i think it's the worst rum i've tasted in that price cattegory

It has a good aroma and after taste. Good quality rum for the nice evening cigar. Gives the cigar a splendid aroma. Worth all the money.

Of the Havana family my favorite. It really tastes as a mature rum, a product of a convenient mix done by maestros.

Wow this is a good Cuban rum. I’ve had the 7yr quit a lot and enjoy it but this was way better and worth the little extra money. On the nose it’s a bit dry and smells of wood and citrus. I really enjoyed sipping this and got the same tastes as aromas with a little leather and tabacco( typical Cuban rum). I enjoy pairing this rum and several others with good cigars as the flavors to me get more intense with rum cigar combo. A great addition to the collection.

I've always "liked" Rum. For 30 years that meant indifferent rums drowned in cola. But before a trip to Cuba 2 years ago I had a look around the blogs to see what premium Rums were available to bring home. As it happened we were on a bit of a premium package at the resort which gave us access to top shelf liquors, including the Maestros. So why not? I knew better than to pain my bartender by asking for it any way but neat, and grew to enjoy a generous after dinner pour along with a side of sweet espresso. At the duty free I discovered I could buy 2 bottles Havana Club 3 plus 1 Mulata 7 for the cost of 1 Maestros. So I went with the 3. In the next year I discovered my preference in Rums for sipping skews to the sweet side. But when I saw a bottle of this at PVR Duty free for $35 US I couldn't resist. Now as I sip on my El Dorado 15 or Reserva Exclusiva, I glance over at my drier first love in that gorgeous bottle and wonder if I shouldn't give that Cuban beauty another go.

Truly special friend that know and enjoy rum. Serve neat or with a cube, sip and get lost in the flavour of this magnificent rum.

It's proper Cuban rum in top condition. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced. Number one for Old fashioned.
