Havana Club help!

[northwest monkey]

Folks - could do with some help with finding some Havana Club rum.

I'm not after any of the "posh" ones - just the white one for mixers. I've tried Bacardi & I just don't like it as much. The thing is - it's not for drinking, but for making rum butter for mince pies so I only need maybe 4 miniatures

We've just used the last miniature we got & our big bottle we got from Cuba is now empty. I've found someone selling the big bottles but as I don't drink very much it's a bit of a waste & the only minis I can find are the dark rum.

The bottle I have is "Havana Club Silver Dry".

Any pointers to stockists would be great - or if anyone has a return flight to Havana I'll pick up a couple of bottles while I'm there!

Tescos?

Im pretty sure I've seen quite a few varieties on the shelf.

Either the Anejo Blanco or Anejo 3 Anos will be what you need, they don't make a 'Silver Dry' IIRC.

Both usually available from a decent off licence or supermarket.

It's probably an old bottle I've got but it does say Silver Dry on the front & I bought it in Havana (I did say I don't drink a lot!). I think it's the Blanco one I want.

Cheers

Lidl's own dark/white rum is pretty good and a full bottle is the same price as a few miniatures

I got my last few bottles (in the summer) from Bargain Booze.

Tescos or Sainsburys..

as for getting the "white" 3yr old, get the 7yr old instead!

enjoy

Waitrose is good for their range of rums, though this particular one is generally easily found.

On offer until Tuesday: http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317-100...

When I was in Cuba I couldn't believe how cheap certain bottles of this rum was ! £1.50 for a bottle ?? Then in the airport they had a lovely looking bottle that was £1500 , quite a contrast.

Yeah that's it! Didn't pay that though (think I paid about £5 from the Havana Club factory in Havana!).

Annoying thing is I bought 2 bottles & for some reason gave one to my idiot brother

Can't find it anywhere - I'll keep looking!

the stuff they sell in Havana will be different to what they sell here (aging, pricing etc...) as they are very different markets.
