Review: Havana Club Anejo Blanco Puerto Rican Rum

by Jeff Ellingson

havana-club-anejo-blanco-puerto-rican-rum-copyHavana Club Anejo Blanco Puerto Rican Rum is one of two rums created by Bacardi under the Havana Club label.  Havana Club Rum is an iconic rum first produced in Cuba by the Arechabala family, who started making rum in 1878.  In 1934 they registered the Havana Club name.  Prior to the Cuban Revolution Bacardi and Havana Club where the Coke and Pepsi of Rum in Cuba.  Since then Bacardi moved to Puerto Rico and Havana Club was confiscated by the Cuban Government.  Havana Club rum has been sold globally except for the US, since 1994 when a 50/50 ownership deal was agreed to between the Cuban government and Pernod Ricard, the worlds second largest spirits company.  Havana Club Anejo Blanco is based on the original recipe personally transcribed and sold to Bacardi as part of an agreement between the two family companies.  Pernod Richard disputes the validity of Bacardi producing rum under the Havana Club name, and this has been tied up in US courts for years.  A final verdict is expected in 2017.  Until then Bacardi can still produce and sell their version of Havana Club in the US.  Havana Club Anejo Blanco Rum is made from the finest sugarcane molasses, distilled and aged for 1 year in oak barrels.  Each barrel of rum is filtered and then blended together before it is then aged for at least 2 additional months in oak barrels before bottling at 80 proof.   The aroma is cane sugar and molasses with a fruity oak backing.  The sweet fruit entry has a hint of oak building to a banana, pineapple, and marshmallow peak.  It fades with a warm peppery sting and finishes semidry with oak flavor, and a mild burn as I swallow.  Havana Club Anejo Blanco Puerto Rican Rum is a very tasty rum that will mix well in cocktails.  When I hear the term anejo, I think of a smooth sipper.  I don’t consider this rum to be a smooth sipper, but if you don’t mind paying a little more for a white rum to mix in your cocktails, you will be very happy with the cocktails made from this rum.
