The Havana Club Tributo 2018 20yo 40% 700ml is the third release in Havana Club's prestigious annual Tributo series. This extraordinary Cuban rum, aged for 20 years and bottled in 2018, showcases the expertise and craftsmanship of the Havana Club Distillery. This limited-edition masterpiece, with only 2500 bottles available, is finished in casks that previously held peaty Scotch whisky, imparting unique layers of smoke to its rich, sweet profile. On the nose, expect enticing aromas of dried fruits and raisins, complemented by woody notes, hints of spice, tobacco, sweet wine, chocolate, and leather. The palate is full-bodied and complex, featuring a harmonious blend of dried fruit, smoke, and toasty oak, with additional notes of tea and spices like clove and cinnamon. The finish is long and lingering, offering hints of smoke, chocolate, and fruits. Perfectly balanced and multifaceted, Havana Club Tributo 2018 has the potential to convert even the most ardent Islay whisky fans to rum enthusiasts.
