I have a collection of 4 Havana Club rums bought directly from Cuba. I tried them in the order depending on what their smelling inspired to my. This rum is the last one I tried. The nose is not very strong, and I only found very light spicy and woundy smells. So, the forth day, I taste this rum. I opened the bottle and smelled it. It was not very inspiring to me. Then, I put few milliliters in my mouth. I immediately minded the harmoniousness of this beverage. Its robust but smooth woundy taste, coupled to a sparkling and delicate spicy savor was memorable. From far my favorite rum.
