OK, since I've had so many enthusiastic responses [LoL], I'll post a few tasting notes:

OK, the Legendario is a nice, smooth rum, not as pronounced in flavour as the HC7 but good, nonetheless. Lots of sugar-cane alcohol aroma, as is often present in Cuban rums, especially in HC3.

It is a medium brown in colour.

The bottle is unique, came with a little cloth Cuban flag around it with a blue cloth coloured rubber band.

Tonite, the paint thinner, er Liberación Añejo 7 años.

Liberación Añejo 7 años

Light brown in colour with a strong sugar-cane alcohol aroma, this rum is surprisingly light and floral.  The flavour is not strong, but pleasant, which is very different, compared to other Cuban 7 year old rums.  Only 40% alcohol, but seemed to go to my head faster than others.

The bottle is a translucent brown, and reminds me of a liter German beer bottle in shape and colour.

Not the paint thinner I was expecting.

Greetings,

As I have just posted in the Liberacion thread, I have just ordered 2 Cuban rums, Liberacion 15 Anos and Legendario 7 Anos. I will post notes when I get these two in.

Cheers
