Exceptional Aging and Cask Craftsmanship
The Havana Club Professional Edition B is built on three meticulously selected aged rum bases, including the prestigious Base Centenario. One of these bases spent 12 months in 180-liter ex-Islay whisky barrels, while others matured in 180-liter white oak casks, some of which are up to 70 years old. The careful combination of these casks results in a deeply layered rum with both richness and complexity.
Distinctive Liquid Profile
This masterfully aged rum delights the senses with a complex aroma of dry smoke, vanilla, and cacao. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of tropical fruits and subtle smoky undertones, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. Its 7-year aging period allows the flavors to develop fully, creating a rum that is not only smooth but also versatile for premium cocktails or sipping neat.
Origins and Creative Collaboration
The story behind Havana Club Professional Edition B is as captivating as its flavor. When a shipment of Islay whisky barrels arrived in Cuba by accident, Maestro del Ron Cubano Asbel Morales saw a unique opportunity to marry the dry, peaty notes of whisky with his richest Cuban rums. To perfect the final profile for innovative cocktail applications, renowned bartender Nick Strangeway collaborated on this special edition. The result is a rum that redefines Cuban craftsmanship and showcases creative ingenuity.
Limited Edition and Collectible Value
First bottled in July 2018, only 998 cases of this limited edition rum were produced, making it a rare and highly sought-after collectible. Distilled at Ronera San Jose, each bottle reflects the dedication and expertise of Cuban rum artisans. Its scarcity, combined with the unique Islay cask influence, ensures that this rum remains a prized addition to any connoisseur’s collection.
