Havana Club 7 Year Old
Havana Club 7 Años is a legendary Cuban rum that ages for at least seven years in oak barrels, typically ex-bourbon. This distillate, referred to as “The very essence of Cuban rum,” captivates with its elegant complexity, featuring notes of Cuban tobacco, tropical fruits, molasses, spices, and vanilla. It is ideal for sipping on the rocks or in cocktails.
Havana Club 7 Años is made from high-quality molasses fermented with specific yeast strains. After distillation, it undergoes aging for a minimum of seven years in used oak barrels, primarily ex-bourbon. The aging process takes place in traditional warehouses outside the city, which ensure a balance between heat and humidity — perfect for the gradual release of aromas.
The aroma of Havana Club 7 features dominant notes of cocoa beans, vanilla, fresh tobacco, spices, and chocolate-caramel nuances. The taste is full and rich, with layers of dark caramel, orange marmalade, roasted hazelnuts, caramel, dark chocolate, oak, and spices. The finish is medium-long, with hints of bitter orange peel, tobacco, and sweet cane.
It is best served neat, on the rocks, or as a luxurious base for sophisticated cocktails like Old Fashioned or 7-Ginger.
