HAVANA CLUB AÑEJO 15 AÑOS:
THE PRODUCT STORY
PART OF THE HAVANA CLUB ICÓNICA COLLECTION
Havana Club Añejo 15 Años is a very
rare and limited release of an extra aged
rum, the result of a truly unique and
incredibly precise, scientific process.
Attaining the illustrious position of a Maestro Ronero requires a
unique blend of passion, precision and patience. During 15 years
of apprenticeship, Maestros Roneros learn to understand the
complex art of rum-making – a process that requires a scientific
approach through extensive experimentation and meticulous
observing of the successive blending and ageing processes.
Created by Primer Maestro Ronero, Don José Navarro,
Havana Club Añejo 15 Años is testament to this tradition of
the Roneros and the magical rum-making craft. As its name
declares, the youngest drop of fine rum has been aged for 15
years in old oak barrels. However, this is in the tropical climate
of Cuba where the humidity and hot weather have a dramatic
effect on maturation, making Havana Club Añejo 15 Años rare
and special rum.
Only a rum-maker such as Don José Navarro who has amassed
the unrivalled experience gained through 40 years of distillery
work could conjure-up such an exceptionally smooth and
elegant rum. So specific are his requirements that only 58
barrels of Havana Club Añejo 15 Años are selected for bottling
each year and sold on allocation. With outstanding quality
of the ageing process this rare and luxurious Cuban rum has
been rewarded with many international awards, including xxx.
Havana Club Añejo 15 Años is bottled at 40% ABV and is
distinguished by a clear, bright mahogany coloured liquid and
its incomparable softness of tannins and fruity aroma.
