Ive noticed how few comments describe the flavours in this rum , its very difficult to find them.. maybe wood , leather and that's about it ? Lovely gold/straw colour , strong ethanol smell upon opening . An ice cube makes it creamier. A really well made not sweetened enjoyable rum. For a longer drink this makes an outstanding (expensive) cuba libre... 7.5 overall.
As successor to Barrel Proof, this bottle deserve some attention. To start with bottle itself, it looks very very nice. Such a fabulous bottle! So we are stepping up here form Barrel Proof decent, but beautiful, old school design. As content - the rum - Selección is very delicious. It isn't as perfectly refined as Barrel Proof, but it is hell a lot delicious! Taste is complex, on the sweeter side, with all finesse you'd expect from very good aged rum.
This rum was very fine for the money and seems less commented on than many others. I keep coming back to it, lovely sipping rum that feels like a proper Solera.
The best of the Havana Club offerings I have tried. It's good, and it'll impress your American friends. But I cannot recommend it as a premium rum, as it doesn't have anything special that I feel it has to offer. I cannot recommend it as a good Cuban rum, as there are better Cuban rums for lower prices. Honestly, if this is the best that the Maestros can do with HC's inventory, then I would think it's time to look elsewhere. The only tasting note I can offer is a nice hit of tropical fruit in the mids.
I'm revisiting this review after hiding the bottle for a couple of weeks to make it last. This is by far the best rum I've ever tasted. Nothing comes even close. My next carribean trip will be to restock this.

I've just got this bottle and it tastes like perfection. I have to moderate myself, otherwise I would pour one in the morning. Expect a strong but smooth expertly crafted rum.
So... this is real rum. Perfect with a Cuban cigar. Delicate and tasty.
Nothing to do with other sugary liquorish rums.
This rum has a clear taste of Havana, from the barrels to the cigar it feels real.
Lovey havana rum, best tasted havana so far. Packed in a really nice looking bottle
Net een proeversglaasje uitgeschonken, even de neus er ingestoken, plots gaat de deurbel. Helemaal niet erg dacht ik zo, ik was immers helemaal niet onder de indruk van de eerste aroma's.
Toen ik na een halfuurtje terug voor mijn glaasje zat en nog eens een stevige snif nam ..., whaauw ... wat een verschil! Nu ontdekte ik tonen van eik, lichte caramel en wat vanille met toch een frisse toets.. Zou het dan toch waar zijn dat we eerst beter wat alcohol laten verdampen? Het gaat hier ook immers over een stevige kerel van 45°.
Bij de eerste sip proef je onmiddelijk de sterke alcohol, die lichtjes een branderig gevoel achterlaat op het puntje van je tong en je lippen (ik ervaar dit niet als onprettig!). Nadien volgt een lange afdronk die helemaal niet te zoet is en zelfs wat droog overkomt. Je proeft als het ware de eiken vaten en zelfs helemaal op het einde wat bittere chocolade, maar de alcohol blijft overheersen en na enkele sips begint die overheersing wat te storen.
Kortom mooie aroma's die zeker het ontdekken waard zijn, maar het mocht voor mij gerust enkele graden minder sterk zijn.
Leuke foto's op mijn Instagram:

It smells of apricot and peaches.
"Well blended and well-balanced spirit that it’s smoothness shines through. There is very little roughness or aggressive spirit tones when sipped."

There is nothing special in this rum, may be the brand. Taste is strong alcoholic. I'd recommend to drink it with coke (but i prefer to drink something else).
