Havana Club 7-Year

a disappointment to me I want more out of that rum. It's nice but need to be a little more complex.
Can be drink alone or in cocktails

The spices aren't overly powerful and not that smooth on its own, but goes great in coke

It satisfies just the minimum requirements to say: "Yes, it is a rum to drink out of coktail"... but nothing else!

Smooth, sweet and then spicy.
A Rum for every occasion, to mix or to sip. For me a stock bottle

happily made my way through the bottle, mainly in daiquiris, but it just lacks the oomph you get with more complex rums

Fantastic mixer, can even be consumed straight up if you're up for it. I am however beyond that point.
Probably the bottle that made many of us look beyond the regular cuba libre.

I expected a soft and smooth rum. The true is that, its a rum with a lot of fine flavours, with a too strong bite. I prefer the Bacardi 8.

After being recommended this 7 year, I was disappointed when this rum didn't deliver on taste. Too harsh and confusing to pick up single flavours straight, but bearable with cola.

This is the golden boy rum to have for sipping (commercially available at a reasonable price) if you are a Cuban living abroad and don't get to travel to the island often. I really like the strong smell of the HC7. Like the taste as well although one still finds the harshness that characterizes most of the Cuban rums I have tasted/being able to afford. Such harshness sometimes makes it a non-sipper to citizens from other countries. What I cannot cope with is the cheap bottle cap. Its also not too sweet like the Demerara ED family but not a great value for ~33CAD in Ontario, Canada.
Great for mixing but other cheaper HCs will do the job as well while minimizing the damage to your wallet.

its a nice rum to mix with coke not expensive but not cheap eather
