Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros

What you need to know

The Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros is a rum blend for which the distillery's Maestros Roneros select the finest Havana Club rums. The rum is made from sugar cane molasses that is first fermented and then distilled. The youngest rum used for the blend is matured for at least 10 years in American white oak barrels that previously contained bourbon whiskey. For the Seleccion de Maestros, selected rums are put together and stored again in young American white oak barrels, which give the rum a strong note and add the finishing touches. From there, it is bottled at 45%. This process is known as Cuban Barrel Proof and was relaunched in 2010. Only the design of the bottles and the name were changed. The extensive production and storage process remained unchanged.

Flavors

Visually, the Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros shines in strong dark red amber. The nose immediately reveals notes of roasted pecan, caramel, spice, tobacco and wood aromas. On the palate, the round, perfect attack develops into a complex and complete taste experience with cocoa, coffee, sweet tobacco, brown spice and smoky oak aromas, which are rounded off by candied fruit flavors and a subtle spiciness. The medium-long finish is pleasant with slightly smoky and fruity aromas.
