Havana Club 11 Year Whiskey Exchange Selection

Review #1208; Rum #522

Here we have a bottling of rum produced for The Whisky Exchange. This small batch of rum was created by Havana Club’s maestro del ron Cubano Asbel Morales. This is a molasses based rum that was created from Cuban crown sugar cane and distilled on a column still. It then aged for 11 years in Cuba before being bottled at cask strength with no coloring or filtering.
