Havana Club Rum 15 Anos Gran Reserva was created by selecting the best quality reserve rums of Cuba. It is the result of a lengthy & complex ageing process, which has produced a rum with a flavour, that will please even the most particular palates. ...

When sugar cane is ground it produces a thick, creamy, almost liquid substance, very rich in sugar, & of a beautiful amber colour. This is the molasses, traditionally called honey. This honey is the main raw material, & its unique quality has given Cuban rum the prestige it has always enjoyed. A special yeast will be added to the purified, sterilised & diluted honey to initiate the fermentation process. The fermented honey is now ready for the slow reflective process of evaporation & concentration which will take place in the distillation columns. The distillation process yields eau-de-vie & pure alcohol. The young eau-de-vie then begins its first maturing period in 180 litre barrels, where it remains for at least 18 months. The well-balanced blending of aged eau-de-vie, matured for at least 18 months, with sugar cane alcohol of the highest quality will produce the young rum, which will rest once more in white oak barrels, where it will remain for three years, hence its name: Anejo 3 years. Once the product has matured the expertise of the rum master will come into play in selecting & blending the barrels, & then the product will be rested & filtered to ensure uniform batches of 3 year old rum identical in aroma & taste. 3-year-old rum has a light straw colour. It has at once the luminous, light, syrupy look characteristic of aged rum. This Cuban rum has a sweet, woody smell with aromas of caramel & vanilla. 3-year-old rum is pleasant-tasting with a fresh, discreet flavour. A taste of vanilla with chocolate accents. The three year old rum, excellent for cocktails, providing the cocktail with the distinctive characteristics of rum. It is also ideal for drinking on its own or with a few ice cubes.
