Don't let anyone trick you into thinking that this is a real Havana Club. There's no flavor! There's a hint of vanilla and sugar if you really pay attention, but even calling it a hint is being generous. Drinking this is like drinking tap water. Like drinking tap water in a country where you probably shouldn't do that, perhaps. But not more than that. Only for use as a mixer, and even then there's better options.

This is pretty much the off-brand version of Bacardí Superior. If you want Bacardí, get that. If you don't, don't get this

Generally underrated due to its popularity. It's designed to be mixed, but when I was younger I spent a summer sipping mostly this. It has an uncomplicated flavor, and is ideal if you like your alcohol to taste like what it is. It's not the second coming, but there's a reason this rum is the most popular in its price range.
