$17 on sale in NC and with a cork! I don't really drink silver or blanco rum. I bought it to make Bicardi cocktails.(They were fantastic!) N - heavy with chemicals...acetone, nail polish, heat...nothing else really...maybe some vodka notes....??? P - sweetness, smoothness, the sugar is VERY hard to define...it almost tastes like micro distillery vodka mixed with simple syrup, tailing traditional rum notes. F - more sweetness, medium finish with no harsh aftertaste...a bit of spice late. Overall very good for what it is. I DID NOT like the neck pour. After it has aired out...its really "good". However, I bought it for mixing. It is so docile and un-offending that I am afraid it might get lost in rum cocktails...since it is free of the rum flavors. For my money, I will use Plantation 5 year and deal with the cocktail not being "clear". Bicardi Silver is a pretender compared to this. I wish someone in college would have bought this instead of the other...
About this bottle
Havana Club Añejo Blanco is aged for 1 year in oak before being blended and filtered. It is then aged a further 2 months in oak for mellowing. This Puerto Rican distilled rum made by Bacardí is based on a recipe from the Arechabala family who created it in Cuba in 1934. The family produced it up until 1960 when they fled Cuba after Fidel Castro nationalized the distilleries there. First available in select Florida markets in June 2016, the rum became available soon after in other markets.

Havana Club Añejo Blanco is one of the most intense of its kind. The matured white rum impresses with its powerful character, which is fresh and sweet at the same time. Notes of vanilla, cherries and a trace of cocoa shape his taste Its name comes from the natural aging process (Añejo) - spanning at least two years in old oak barrels - and blanco for white, since it's been filtered several times. Its aroma is fresh and multifaceted with notes of vanilla, cherries and a trace of cocoa. Its tint is not completely clear, but subtle sunny, if you will. This is due to the maturity through which this Havana Club develops its lovely-fruity taste. Still in the finish, sounds of sugar cane - a heavenly rum for those who like good drinks.
2.18.22 Served: Neat, plastic cup Bottle open: Unknown (bar) but 80% full. Very smooth. Good balance of wood and molasses character. No funk. So very easy to drink straight. (At a concert, not giving tasting notes)
A little sweet and no real burn make this a pleasant rum. It doesnt have a big flavor so probably better as a mixer than straight which is how i enjoyed it
Some fruit, a noticeable finish of vanilla, but overall not too exciting. I found it disappeared in drinks. Not for me personally. I'd like more character.
a very mild amount of fruitiness, a little bit of almond, I wouldn't say its sweet, but that's what the description says online.
