Havana Club

I used to get free bottles from the B&M I bought CC from. I have had several different ones up to the 15 year old. I thought it was good rum, though I'm no rum expert, and I enjoyed the novelty of having it. That being said I would not go out of my way to get it nor would I pay a premium for it.

So I would say if you can get it with minimal hassle and for a good price go for it you won't regret it. Just don't expect it to be something spectacular.

HC is ok, the 7 is not bad (15 is better). I would put Ron de Caney ahead of it and then Santiago de Cuba ahead of that again. Then there is Legendario, which is great, but not for mixing.

Only Rum's I drink are HC 15 and Legendario

Might be better out there but these are readily available, damn good and well priced for me.

Tried the HC 7 at the HC museum and I thought it was OK. A couple of locals recommended the Santiago de Cuba, so I picked up a couple of bottles but have not tried it yet.

Unfortunately, cuban rum is not as good as the other stuff they make and we all covet so much. A decent rum which only brings back good ol memories and a longing of our former, dear Island.

I'm with you on the Legendario...

Surprised there isn't more chatter about it.

Havans Club is pretty over-rated, much better stuff out there. It is a "decent" rum though. Gotta agree with Marc and Shawn. Legendario is great on the rocks if you like sweetness rum's.
