BUDGET Gold Rum Review

- In this video, I have a Rum Review of Havana Club Especial Rum and Bacardi Anejo Cuatro (or Bacardi 4yo Rum). I have a Rum Comparison, a Taste Test, the Rum and Coke Battle. Which one makes the Better Daiquiri. And also Rum & Ginger. But it's not just these 2 Rums, I also take on Ron Cubay Carta Dorada and Barcelo Gran Anejo. I did wonder how this Havana Especial Review would go as these are not Rums that I would normally go to. But the havana club añejo especial is a popular choice!

STEVE!!!! This was a tough one. I didn't Bacardi would pull this one out!!! I might have to grab a bottle of that. Awesome comparo!!! CHEERS!!!!
Always love these head to head.
Bacardi for me all the way has a different type of taste much better than the rest
Haven't tasted that Bacardi but Havana Club Anejo Especial is my absolute favorite rum to use in Cuba Libre.
Fully agree 💯 🙌🏽
it's funny doing Blind tastings, cos it really just makes you pick your favvy! For years, I'd have said the same, or Plantation OD (okay...not "Cuba"), but I can't argue with my taste Buds! Cheers for watching!
Aha, and what about the 7yr old then? Steve didn't rate it very high and would only drink it for cuba libre, but not good as sipping rum.. I think havana is too commercial, it's still not that cheap.
Unfortunately I can't get Havana Club Especial thanks to the emabrgo in the US, or any Cuban rum for that matter. It's good to know that Bacardi Cuatro is still nice, it's only $2 more than Superior/Carta Blanca.
Dang it! The winner did have to be the one we can't get our hands on, didn't it? Now we're on the hunt for some Ron Cubay I guess. Quite surprising how consistent the results were! Great review of these rums, Steve! Thank you!
Cheers for watching!! Cubay is awesome stuff!!
Alltho I rate Steve his reviews or rating of these rums, we gotta keep in mind that: 1. steve his taste & preferences are personal, and might not be like yours, 2. in some of those cocktails a non expierenced drinker might not even taste a difference :) I think the cocktail daiQUIri needs the emphasis on QUI lol..
@@StevetheBarmanUK Ye I assume the best rum in Cuba. It's interesting to see the different rums from different countries/islands.
Hey steve,..one question,.did u pay really soo much? Let me tell ya,.here in germany u'll pay for havanna club especial , 0,7 l , 13,99 euro,..yesterday i bought one bottle,as offer,..i got a bottle for 10,99 bucks,..so 20 pounds are about 23 euro,( abd this aint less money ).but for 23 euro u can buy ron botucal planas for example,.
regards
Yeah. Upside of UK, our Selection is Huge. There really isn’t that much we can’t get. Even next day delivery. It’s awesome.
The downside of the UK…TAX. Our Tax is huge.
The big difference is say the El Dorado Rums.
ED12 for example about £35 UK. Maybe nearly £40. Canada for example $25 which is like £15. So a whole £20+ cheaper!!!
Steve!! If it says Rum on the bottle, I'm in it 😊😊
What is your ratio on the rum and coke?
1:3 is my normal for taste tests. But if I want a longer one, I sometimes will drink 1:5
Quick side note, my favourite rum for daiquiris is the plantation 3 stars. Absolutely beautiful 🙌🏽. Great reviews today. I will definitely be buying the Ron Cubay next time. 👍🏾
3 Stars will be coming out to play in a Video comparison really soon. But yeah, LOVE it too
Try Cubay Carta blanca for Mojitos and Daiquiris will magnify the drink... Cubay Añejo great for all moments and mix with coke . You Will not regret. BUT Cubay 10 Years its a diamond..GET IT AMAZING.
Did u try RON BOTUCAL PLANAS? I love the rum,.sooo mellow,smooth. Regards
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I'm number 1!!!!
HELLO .. Steve.... a little busy but, pending your videos.... Havana Club. Vs Bacardi its almost a political and brand battle : )
Sorry Steve PLACES .... 1- Cubay 2 - Barcelo 3- Havana 4- Bacardi. Cubay Wins" Barcelo its Good for Mix and blenders.
Cubay was amazing in this comparison!
