    Hi

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me where I might find some Havana club rum. It's for making Mojitos and Bacardi just wont do.

    Many thanks.

    This could help you: http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/default.aspx?CategoryID=10235

    It's technically a cigar website, but they stock specialist liquers too. Good customer service, very professional and helpful.

    Most good off licences (try McHughs, Sweenys, O'Briens, etc)...

    I can lay my hand on a bottle if you're really desperate. We had a few bottles lying around but I sold the last one to a woman a week ago...

    You can get Havana Club Rum in the off licence just up from Godfather Pizza up from Leeson St bridge (This would be so much simpler if I could just remember the name of the off licence).

    Also, I'm fairly sure I saw it in the oddbins on the Clontarf road so I'd imagine if they have it, all the other oddbins will have it.

    Celtic Whiskey SHop on Dawson Street
    Whelan's Off-License on Camden Street (the only place htat has white Matusalem in Dublin that I know of too, for a slightly less sweet Mojito)
    Oddbins on Baggot Street

    Out of curiousity, which rum do people here usually use for mixing Mojitos?

    Hi,

    Yeah Havana Club is in O Briens off licences. It is my number 2 rum!

    Speaking of which. I was wondering if anyone knew where I might pick up some Bicardi Dark. I just can't seem to find it anywhere. I see the Oro one from time to time but it's the Black one I want.

    If anyone knows.. I would really appreciate a point in the right direction...
    (Fingers crossed : )

    J

    The Waterloo Bar have recently started a Rum Club. Anyone interested in joining?
    Anyone with a taste for rum is welcome. There is a good selection of standard rums with an impressive selection of mid tier rums and the speciality rum selection is also well represented.
    The structure of the Club is quite loose at present, what is needed is a few members who know their stuff.
    I'm promised the speciality rum selection will grow substatially over the near future.

    I got some Havana Club 7 year old in Mardid Airport the other day for €25 for a litre, how does it compare to the 3 year old?

    Having tried many many rons, HC 3 year old works best for me - and it's what most bartenders in Cuba use.

    They are completely different. The 3 year old is much lighter and is graet for making rum based cocktails. The HC7 is darker, richer and best appreciated on it's own in a brandy snifter, and in my case accompanied with a nice cigar :) In Cuba, it's often served in a whiskey tumbler with a single cube of ice.
