Havana Club Rum

Havana Club was born in 1934, the same year the world was still climbing out of a global depression, but on Cuba the mood was entirely different. The rum grew to become a symbol of Cuban identity itself, deeply tied to the island's culture and self-image. Today the brand is jointly owned by the Cuban state and French spirits house Pernod Ricard, an alliance that has made Havana Club a global name, with one notable exception: the American market, where the trade embargo against Cuba still sets the limits.

  • Bottle of Havana Club 7 Años Cuban rum
    Item no.: 22227865416-10

    Havana lends its name to the entire Cuban rum tradition, and 7 Años is where you really hear the history, the tobacco and the sweet tropical fruit speak.

    Expert description

    Havana Club 7 Años is a Cuban Rum matured for 7 years in ex-bourbon oak casks and bottled at 40%.

    The rum comes from Havana Club, the most internationally recognised name in Cuban rum, produced according to a tradition dating back to 1934. 7 Años is the brand's more mature, darker expression, where the youngest rum in the blend has matured for at least seven years in casks that previously held American bourbon. The result is a dark, complex rum, far more serious than the lighter, white expressions of the brand.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Roasted coffee, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate and vanilla, spiced with a touch of gingerbread and orange marmalade.

    Palate

    Full-bodied and dry rather than sweet, with woody spice, orange marmalade, vanilla fudge and a hint of overripe banana.

    Finish

    Black pepper, coffee and vanilla fudge that linger on the palate long after the last sip.

    Did you know?

    Havana Club does not name its expressions after years in the bottle, but after the minimum age of the youngest rum in the blend. 7 Años is therefore a solera-inspired blend, where older and younger vintages meet.

  • Bottle of Havana Club Añejo Especial Cuban rum
    Item no.: 22227865416-19

    Some rums are aged once. Havana Club Añejo Especial does it twice, and calls itself "double aged" to make that clear from the start.

    Expert description

    Havana Club Añejo Especial is a Cuban Rum, column distilled and matured for up to 5 years, bottled at 37.5%.

    The rum comes from Havana Club and is assembled from several vintages of rum, which after the initial maturation are blended and then returned to cask before bottling, this is the "double aged" process that gives the name its "especial." The result is a golden rum with a lightness usually associated with white rums, combined with a fruity complexity that would otherwise require longer maturation.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Sweet and lightly honeyed, with vanilla cream, buttery toffee, cinnamon and cedar.

    Palate

    Full and soft, with caramel, soft fruits, spiced oak, manuka honey and cinnamon.

    Finish

    Citrus and vanilla, with a light bittersweet close.

About Havana Club Rum

Havana Club is the best-known Cuban rum internationally, with roots dating back to Havana in 1934.

History & Background

Havana Club was founded in 1934 in Havana and quickly grew into a symbol of Cuban rum identity, closely tied to the island's culture and history. After the Cuban revolution, the brand remained in Cuban hands until French spirits giant Pernod Ricard entered a joint venture with the Cuban state in 1993 to develop and export the rum globally. The alliance made Havana Club one of the world's best-known rum brands outside Cuba, but also sparked a long-running trademark dispute with Bacardi over rights to the name in the American market. As a result of the US trade embargo against Cuba, Havana Club in its Cuban form remains unavailable in the United States, making the brand one of the clearest examples of how geopolitics can shape the fate of a spirits bottle.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled from molasses and aged in oak casks using classic Cuban tradition for light, dry rum.

Signature Style

Light, Dry, Caramel
The flavor offers a light, dry character with a classic touch of caramel and vanilla.
