About This Rum
The Havana Club Tributo 2018 is the third edition in the Tributo Collection, a limited-release series that showcases the craftsmanship and innovation of Cuba’s most renowned rum distillery.
This 2018 expression was created by Havana Club’s master blenders using a selection of well-aged Cuban rums, finished in casks that previously held peated Scotch whisky.
This unique maturation process introduces an additional layer of smoky complexity rarely seen in Cuban rum.
Bottled at 40 % ABV, this small-batch release was limited to 2,500 bottles worldwide, highlighting the artistry and experimentation behind the Tributo range.
