Anyone tried Havana Club Barrel Proof Rum? First time I'd seen it was the weekend but unfortunately buying it wasn't an option. I've tried and emjoyed most of the other Havana Club offerings and wondered how this compares?

It's the same rum as Havana Club Seleccion de Maestro. I know other people have disagreed with this in the past but I've had that confirmed by Pernod Ricard's global brand ambassador for Havana Club and two of the eight Cuban "Maestro Roneros" (Asbel Morales and Salome Carriazo) that Barrel Proof and Seleccion de Maestro is the same rum, just repackaged.
The best rum deal in the world was when a 1 litre bottle of Barrel Proof could be bought in Gib for ?11.20. Those were the days. I didn't even complain too much when the price went up to ?11.70!

That's great info, thanks [MENTION=297]Ryan[/MENTION]. I've got some Seleccion de Maestro but the Barrel Proof was recommended to me, mentioned specifically to get from Stagnetto's but they've never had any when I've visited (it's where I've bought Seleccion) so what you said makes sense. I did see bottles of it a few weeks back and wish I'd gotten a couple now and paid for hold luggage to bring them back. I'll see if they're there next time!

They have a good price on the Seleccion de Maestro though at about ?21 a bottle. Where did you see the Barrel Proof for sale, without mentioning the retailer if you don't want to, but was it Gib?

Seems to get good reviews.
Havana Club 7 year has become very easily found over the last few years, with a big push from Pernod Ricard.
If you want to try a good aged Cuban rum and you ever get a chance to find any of these I personally rate them all higher than HC7.
