Havana Club

Q: What type of rum is Havana Club?

Havana Club is a brand of rum created in Cuba in 1934. The rum is made from a blend of sugar cane juices and features a light and smooth flavour. Havana Club is the best-selling rum in Cuba and is exported to over 120 countries. Interestingly, the US is not one of them - due to the trade embargo against Cuba, Havana Club rum cannot be legally sold in the States. However, that hasn't stopped enterprising Americans from finding ways to get their hands on a bottle or two.

Q: How long does Havana Club rum last?

As long as you don't open it, it will last indefinitely. Seriously though, unopened rum will last practically forever. However, once you open it, the clock starts ticking and the flavour will change as it reacts with oxygen. We'd recommend consuming within 2 years after opening.

Havana Club is a rare example of a brand just as beloved abroad as it is at home. Walk into any shop in Cuba, and you’ll be greeted by the familiar Havana Club branding, and a selection of original rums that have changed very little since their inception in 1934. Cuban rum has always been lauded as one of the best in the world – the combination of the island’s sugarcane, fertile soil, and the mastery of its "Maestros Roneros’ made it easy for Havana Club to become popular.

Nowadays, the brand evokes the spirit of heritage and vibrancy associated with Havana. Enjoying a cheeky rum after a hard day’s work is very much part of local culture, and the locals consider Havana Club synonymous with a good time. Worldwide, Havana Club has a long history of partnering up with bartenders and coming up with new ways to celebrate rum. A part of this is the Havana Club Professional Edition D Rum, which showcases Cuban terroir and a different side of sugarcane. Buy your bottle online now and be sure to sip it in good company.
