The story of Havana Club 3YO

Havana Club traces back to Cárdenas in Cuba, where the Arechabala family founded a distillery in 1878. The company created the Havana Club brand in 1934, and the Cuban government nationalised the business in 1960. Today the rum is made in Cuba by Havana Club International, a joint company owned by the Cuban state and Pernod Ricard, and production there has run since 1994. Bacardi makes a separate rum under the same name in Puerto Rico for the US market, and this is not that one.

The Añejo 3 Años sits in a range that runs from a one year old blanco up to a 15 year old. It is aged for at least three years in American white oak barrels, and after two years it is carbon filtered and returned to the barrel. The rum that comes out is light and a little spicy, with notes of pineapple, herbs, pear and marzipan.

It is made for mixing. The mojito is the traditional Cuban home for it: lime juice, sugar syrup and mint over plenty of ice, topped with soda or tonic. A daiquiri also works well with this rum.
