Why buy Rum Havana Club Especial

Once this process is completed, the rum is transferred to various Irish whiskey barrels, thus experiencing a double aging in white oak barrels that provides, along with Cuban sugar, a unique character and unmatched Havana Club Special 5 years.

Youth is impulsive, adventurous, irreverent and groundbreaking. Youth does not look to tomorrow, it acts and enjoys the moment that is happening at that very moment. But maturity can also contain many of these characteristics. Maturity can also be adventurous and groundbreaking, but it can also have the experience point that the passage of time gives you. This is the case of Havana Club Especial 5 años.

Tasting notes. Sight, smell and taste

An elongated bottle, with a wider body than its burgundy-like upper part, is in charge of protecting Havana Club Especial 5 años from indiscreet glances. Once the jar of essences has been uncovered and poured into a glass, the rum shows a golden colour from which aromas of spices, orange, floral notes and wood nuances escape as a result of its ageing in oak barrels for at least five years. Finally, in the mouth, intense touches of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, orange peel and tobacco can be guessed.

How to taste it. Marriage

As for the best way to taste it, from Yo pongo el hielo we recommend doing it alone, with a few pieces of ice, in a wide glass where you can "run" freely to the shades of Havana Club Especial 5 years. However, a good way to enjoy this Cuban rum is in a Cubalibre, that is, filling a wide glass with ice, adding Havana Club Especial rum, no more than 100 millilitres of cola soda, squeezing a piece of lime, and... enjoy!

A rum with almost two centuries of history

Since Christopher Columbus first set foot on American soil, many other Europeans have followed his path to try their luck in that unknown land. One of them was the Biscayan José Arechabala, who in the second half of the 19th century decided to set out on his own journey to Cuba and, there, found his own well-known company, La Vizcaína. He began distilling rum, one of Cuba's most prized assets, and over time became famous until 1934, when Havana Club rum was born, a name that decades later continues to conquer the palates of the world.
