Havana Club Anejo Reserva Rum

Landed on a small Bahamian island. As Cuban rums are not available in the US I decided to try whatever I cannot get back home. The little local liquor store had only two bottles; a Havana Club blanco and Anejo Reserva. First impression on the nose was bananas and vanilla. Straight up it was quaffable but still a little "forward". Added a couple of ice cubes oh my goodness, what a delight. I wouldn't debase this rum by using it as a mixer.

This is indeed, a hidden gem. This Reserva is probably one of the best dark rum in the world. It is well-rounded, and has got every thing, spice, honey and is incredibly smooth and easy to drink.

I lived on this stuff on holiday in cuba tried a few different havana club rums but this was the best. went to havana club itself and had a tour very interesting sampled some rum and of course BROUGHT SOME RUM AND GLASSES TO TAKE HOME. I always have only drank vodka so for me this is incredible.

The best for Cuba libre! forget other brands and use real Cuban rum like this for your cuban cocktails.Anejo blanco: Daiquiri3yo : MojitoReserva and special : Cuba libre7 yo and 15yo : Sipping slowlyBarrel proof: Sipping with an ice cubeMaximo: Just look at it, too much to afford...

Awesome drink, lovely on its own, or over a couple of ice cubes,, but makes a super Cuba Libre as well in a 2:1 ratio, My rum of choice.

Fantastic rum. It always reminds me of Sourwood honey and Molasses. I was never a big fan of rum until I tried Havana Club.

Mellow smooth rum, tastier than the 7 yr old, fruity and a little sugary. It isn't as nice as Pampero Anniversario Especial, (superb) but it is still v. good, if your tastes lie that way. Rums like Appleton's VX are too varnish flavored for me, but this has none of that. Enjoy neat or on the rocks, it is easily smooth enough. If you must add coke, save yourself some money and get something cheaper? Mixing this with coke brings the phrase, 'This is an outrage!' to mind?!;)
