Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof

Having been awarded a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirit Awards in 2008 Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof is now launched in the UK. The blend is finished in specially selected younger oak casks in order to ‘reawaken’ its oak aroma and bouquet and give it some welly.

Really this is a sipping rum but you could try it in an Old Fashioned or an El Presidente. Cuban Barrel Proof is 45% ABV and available in 70cl bottles at an average RSP of £35.99. Currently stocked at Bungalow 8, Quo Vardis and Montgomery Place in London. Created by master rum blender Don Jose Navarro in Cuba, they say:

“He combines the ancient traditional method of rum making with absolute precision to ensure each blend is the best in the world.  The delicate handling ensures a unique texture which skillfully combines the contrast of a light and smooth flavour of a delicate classic sipping rum with the intensity and complexity of a carefully aged rum.”

We say: Bike one over now please.
