Some rum is meant to be mixed with pineapple, coconut, passion fruit, or lime juice. For Havana Club Añejo 7 Años, that is not the case. This 7-year-old blend of rum is meant to be appreciated neat. Aged in white oak barrels in age-old cellars, Havana Club 7 gains its most distinguishing feature. On the palate, Havana Club 7 is a mix of a world famous Cuban tobacco, rising wood, a blooming Cuban garden, and spices of vanilla from the constant ageing. Named top 40 rums in the world in 1995 and 1997. All hail Havana!
