Tasting Notes ...
EL RON DE CUBA - 40% VOL. - 7 YEARS
With a beautiful mahogany colour, Havana Club 7 Year Old presents powerful and complex aromas. Obtained from rums aged for at least 7 years in oak barrels, this "ron" of remarkable quality has a very rounded bouquet and persistent taste, with flavours of cocoa, coffee, tobacco and spices.
The recommendation of master rum blender Don José Navarro, Havana Club's premier "Maestro Ronero":
The fruit of ageing and careful blending, Havana Club 7 Year Old and Havana Club 15 Year Old marry perfectly with the aromas of a Cuban cigar. Two island specialities of excellent quality, whose subtle aromas lend themselves perfectly to the most sophisticated tasting experience. |

Havana Club : An ancestral rum
Cuba has become known as the "Isle of Rum".
A sugar cane with a global reputation (introduced in 1493 by Christopher Columbus), the favourable Caribbean climate, a fertile soil and the unique skills of Cuban "Maestros Roneros" (Rum Blenders) have all contributed to establishing this image. The inhabitants of Cuba, as well as sailors and adventurers, used this exceptional sugar cane to make fermented nectars and the "tafia" that would later become Cuban rum.
In the early 19th century the quality of the rum began to improve considerably with the introduction of copper stills and the first attempts at ageing, thanks to the efforts of Pedro Diago, now considered the father of Cuban rum. It was his idea to store the eaux de vie (aguardientes) in pots buried in the ground.
In the second half of the 19th century, a lighter, more refined rum was produced: "Ron Superior". This was developed on the instructions of the Spanish Crown, which was seeking a more delicate rum capable of satisfying "the court and the elite of the Realm". "Ron Superior" was the forerunner of today's Cuban rum. A light, smooth, delicate rum, crisp and exceptional straight or in cocktails. It proved so popular that by 1860, there were over 1,000 distilleries in Cuba.
Today Havana Club, the leading Cuban rum in Cuba and worldwide, embodies the heritage of Cuban rum production. Based on the unique skills of its Maestros Roneros, Havana Club has maintained the art of "Añejamiento" at the heart of distilling, ageing and blending of premium rums.
But the name Havana Club, which is an integral part of Cuban culture, also captures the unique atmosphere of Havana, the capital of Cuba. The finest proof: the life-loving Cuban people are the true ambassadors for Havana Club. They have made it a national icon.
