"There will never be a rum that better expresses the Cuban rum culture and its rich tradition than Havana Club Máximo Extra Añejo."
Don José Navarro, Primer Maestro Ronero

In 2005 Havana Club, the world’s foremost authentic Cuban rum, created Máximo Extra Añejo - a unique, ultra-premium rum, handcrafted by the Maestro Ronero, Don José Navarro. Havana Club Máximo Extra Añejo is made by blending the finest and oldest rum reserves in the company’s cellars, with respect for the genuine traditions of Cuban rum-making.

As befits an ultra-premium rum, Havana Club Máximo Extra Añejo is presented in an elegant crystal decanter, allowing its vibrant amber glow to shine through. The decanter’s graceful lines were inspired by the architecture and decorative arts of Havana, renowned for their elegance and attention to detail. Havana Club Máximo Extra Añejo is the purest expression of this refinement. The etched "Giraldilla" on the crystal stopper represents a symbol that Havana Club proudly shares with the city of Havana.
