What works best with Havana Club rum?

[Winchester21]

A friend of mine brought me a bottle of this back from Cuba. The last time I drank rum was when I was 17. Half of a bottle of 151 with other stuff we won't mention. I almost died literally. So this is my first bottle of run since then. I tried it neat, did not like it. Great mixed with coke but can't tolerate that much refined sugar. Suggestions please. Also is there a 15 or 20 year worth chasing. Thanks in advance

Rock or Club Soda. No point in drinking the "expensive" stuff if you're overpowering the taste with sugar water

ratio beer to rum?

HC7 makes for a hearty mojito.

Why chase other bottles if you don't care for it?

Not to jack your thread but does anyone know where I can pick up a seven-year in the states or better yet does anyone have a friend that knows someone? ?

Would like to try the older stuff. If it is like burbon the older and more complex the better. Maybe it is an squired taste?

If u can find a airline pilot they can bring it back from Cuba or other countries. If I get any more bottles I will be glad to keep I in mind. Love to share/trade stuff. It is damn near impossible to find here but with Cuba opening up at least for now there may be more floating around

Check out rumratings.com. You might find a rum which is more appealing to you.

Just had a glass neat tonight.  HC7 may be the best value going. We get it for $16 a bottle in the Caribbean when we bring it back duty free.  Not Cuba price, but still a great deal.

That would be awesome if you can! Thanks, Wouldn't mind trading as well.

Gift it to somebody, sounds like it won't do your taste buds any good

No joke

liked the rum barrel aged beer innis and gunn - so I tried to add a bit of rum to a beer one day, in an attempt to get that taste - worked very well

I don't necessarily hate it. This is my first voyage with rum in 47 years and I am used to burbon. You guys talk about it quite often so I am willing to learn. I will revisit it with a few drops of water to open it up or maybe a cube. Going from premium burbons it was just not what I expected

I need to learn how to make an awesome Mojito.  Wife brought me back a bottle  of clear 3 anos from buffalo (Niagara Falls) and have not tried it yet.

[Auspaul]

have just brought some clear 3 anos as well thinking of trying it with Lime juice fairly strong tasting for  a white rum

I use 3 for my mixed drinks.  Mostly mojitos, rum and coke, a little perhaps in egg nog come the holidays.  Anything older doesn't get mixed.  That being said, drink what you like, like what you drink.  I have a friend that insists on Woodford and mixed with ginger ale.  Although tasty, I assume Beam would work just as well...
