Appearance: Havana Club 3 Años has a pleasant light straw colour and is bright, clear and dense, thereby revealing its age. Nose: Havana Club 3 Años has an intense nose with accents of vanilla, caramelised pears, banana and hints of smoked oak. Palate: A very pleasant palate, with smoky, vanilla and chocolate notes.

Havana Club 3 Años is the result of blending aged and aromatic sugarcane aguardientes with extra light sugarcane distillates to produce a selection of young rums. This batch of rums is then allowed to rest in white oak barrels after which the Maestro Ronero chooses the best barrels and blends the final three-year-old rum, which is again set to rest, then filtered and bottled.

MAY 2014 Insider Pick from Adele Shaw, Portfolio Manager for Spirits, Fortified, Fruit, South African and Asian Wines: "A very pleasant palate, with smoky, vanilla and chocolate notes. Havana Club 3 year old is the ideal ingredient for all premium cocktails, such as the Cuban Daiquiri." As featured in Taste Magazine, Spring 2013.
