I recently got involved in a Twitter Tasting with Havana Club rum. As part of this process I was sent 50ml samples of the four more exclusive/expensive rums in the brands portfolio. Seleccion de Maestros, 15 Year Old, Union and this, the Maximo.
In 2014 Havana Club updated the presentation of their 15 year old rum. Along with the update of the former Barrel Proof to Seleccion de Maestros and with a new cigar pairing rum to be released, Havana Club were geared to introducing a new range.
