The complex Havana Club 7 year rum was made by Cuban Maestro Ronero Don Jose Navarro using the experience and skills he had acquired from previous generations of Maestros. It takes more than fourteen years to create this rum and the minimum age of any rum in the blend is 7 years. This is as a result of the process of continuous aging and assembly of various rum bases and part of each Havana blend returns to the aging barrel for use in future productions.

Even though the Havana Club 7 Years was intended for sipping neat rather than using it in mixed drinks and cocktails when created, it also serves as a rich addition to cocktails.

Nose: On the nose, it is buttery and sweet with notes of honeycomb, toffee, spice, biscuits, orchard fruits, and coffee. Displaying its wealth of aromas, scents of tropical fruits, vanilla, and tobacco are also present from its aging duration.

Palate: It is rich and full on the palate with notes of cedarwood, banana leaf, cigar box, guava, spices, vanilla, sugar cane flavour, and toffee. It has an intense and complex aroma, with a palate of honey, vanilla, chocolate, cocoa, sweet tobacco, dry fruits, and spicy notes.

Finish:  It has a complex, creamy, and fruity finish. It is powerful and full-bodied.

Colour: Crystal mahogany/amber hue.

In 2014, Havana Club 7 Years won the Gold Medal (Rum Masters) and in 2015 won the Silver Medal (International Spirits Challenge). It is distilled from fermented molasses and the aging process takes place in charred white oak barrels for a minimum of seven years. After the company was nationalized in 1959, Havana Club is now jointly owned by the Cuban government and Pernod Ricard.
