Havana Club Masters Selection Rum 70cl

Havana Club Masters Selection Rum 70cl is a rum from the Cuban brand Havana Club, known for its tradition and quality in the production of aged rums. This one, unlike other younger expressions of the brand, represents a special selection of aged rums that are blended and matured in white oak barrels by a group of Cuban master rum makers.

Preparation process

The process is what gives it its name and its distinctive character:

1. Selection: Master rum makers select the best aged rums from Havana Club’s cellars.

2. Blend: These selected rums are blended in secret proportions to create the desired profile.

3. Additional aging: The resulting blend is aged again in hand-selected white oak barrels, which is known as “third-stage aging”. This process intensifies flavors and aromas.

4. Bottling: The rum is bottled directly from the barrel at an alcohol content of 45%, which allows it to preserve the full character of the blend.

Rum Features:

• Color: Warm amber, with golden sparkles.

• Aroma: Intense and complex. Notes of toasted nuts, spices, cocoa, coffee, caramel, and tobacco.

• Flavor: Smooth and silky on the palate, with a robust and balanced taste. Notes of caramel, spices, dried fruits, and toasted wood can be perceived.

• Finish: Long and persistent, with a smoky touch and notes of chocolate.

• Alcohol: 45% vol.

• Format: 70 cl. Bottle

Pairing and Service

Due to its complexity, Havana Club Masters Selection Rum 70cl is designed to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. It is often compared to cognac or aged whiskey, and it is recommended to drink it in a balloon glass to better appreciate its aromas. It is also an excellent base for classic cocktails that require a high-quality rum, although its complexity could be wasted in simple mixes.
