Havana Club Selección de Maestros is a Cuban rum crafted under the orders of Maestro Ronero Don Jose Navarro.
Reflecting both centuries-old know-how and Cuba's rich, sun-drenched terroir, Selección de Maestros is the result of an extraordinary process. This exceptional rum is aged in three stages: the first before blending, the second after, and the third after a second selection.
Cuban Maestros Roneros need over 15 years' experience to master the various aging and blending techniques.
Nico's tasting notes
The nose of this rum is clear and rather frank. It's a traditional Hispanic rum, simple and effective. One senses the warmth of roasting nuts, toasted wood and leather. Caramel and vanilla are treated with finesse and delicacy. The cane shines through. A well-crafted, balanced nose.
On aeration, a certain sweetness compensates for the alcohol emanating from the glass. This is a rather light rum, with a caramelized woodiness. Through this woodiness, hints of mango add dynamism. Smaller, drier notes of straw and hazelnut powder are enveloped in reduced cane syrup.
On the palate, simplicity is still the order of the day. We savor a few crushed red berries that are immediately sprinkled with caramel and molasses. The palate then becomes drier, with a toasty woodiness that releases a few roasted spices.
The finish remains in continuity, rather dry, with burnt caramel.
