havana club selección de maestros | the perfect pour for a valentine’s night in

Valentine’s Day calls for something special — something rich, smooth, and a little indulgent. Havana Club Selección de Maestros has got you covered, a rum crafted for those who appreciate depth, complexity, and just the right amount of luxury.

Blended by the Maestros del Ron Cubano, this exceptional spirit is aged to perfection before being finished in hand-selected barrels, resulting in a flavour profile that’s as deep as your most heartfelt declarations. With notes of caramel, toasted pecans, warm spices, cocoa, and dark coffee, it’s a drink meant to be savoured — whether you’re raising a glass with someone special or simply treating yourself.

For those planning a cosy evening in, Havana Club Selección de Maestros makes the perfect base for elegant cocktails. Try an indulgent Rum-Tini, a bold espresso-infused twist on the classic martini, or mix up an El Presidente, a Cuban favourite with citrus and herbal notes. Both offer a sophisticated alternative to the usual Valentine’s tipples.
