Havana Club Máximo Extra Añejo
Loved by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰, DomM & 7 more
A newcomer-friendly luxury sipper: soft 40% column rum with balanced molasses, mild chocolate notes and smooth texture. RumX members enjoy its elegance but see it mainly as a prestige bottle rather than a flavor bomb.
- Very smooth
- Balanced profile

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Though this is a costly glass it's well worth the money and you should try it at least once in your life. This bottling is released in a limited number every year so there is always a chance to taste it. A perfectly balanced and complex rum from Havana Club.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
for over 1000€ 0.5 liters of rum and then not even a proper age statement is a cheek. the thing is just a prestige object nothing more, the only thing that costs money here is the valuable bottle design. taste but not much better than pampero anniversario, millonario XO etc... for the money you could easily buy 15 single casks... pity! very pity!
Review by DomM
Ok, here I’m pleasantly surprised. As a low proof column rum, this is very intense and complex. For that I rate this as very good. Obviously, the price is in no way ok for what you get. Interesting to see this as an Havanna Club bottling nevertheless.
Review by Oliver
Impressive packaging. Unfortunately, the rum contained disappoints. Very balanced and mild, but also quite characterless.
Review by Filip Šikula
Nice, finely tuned packaging, but unfortunately confirming that the more interesting the bottle, the less interesting the rum.

11.04.2026 Franconian Tasting Gang Treffen bei Rumurmel. Naja nachdem ich beim probieren den Preis von der Flasche nicht wusste, hätte ich ihn als relative solide für den ABV konform eingeschätzt. Für mich ein reines Sammlerobjekt zum prahlen mit einer 250kg schweren Flasche. Nett aber absoluter Wucherpreis.
Review by Johannes
Nice chocolaty profile. Unfortunately nothing more. Alcohol is well integrated. But not much else happens. A joke for the price, of course.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Molases is the most significalbpart of the taste. IMHO it tastes like typical Guayana without body

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"You see, despite how good this rum is it is off the radar in terms of a price I could ever justify a lottery win aside and sadly it also shows added sugar when put to the Hydrometer Test at 12 g/L. Sadly, this will be smoothing out the rum..."Read full review →
