Try every kind they have before you make your decision. Just keep in mind they are not open too late -- usually like 6 or 7 pm.
No hard sell if you want then buy it bought some great cigars and fine Flor De Cana 12 year old rum small area to sit down and sample the rums and small selection of food
Great place, at the beginning of Varadero (coming from the Resorts) to buy your rum. They give you samples of the rum that is not made for export (i.e. for local use) and tell you all about the different kinds of rums. Since the government regulates prices, they are the same all around. There is a cigar store next door.
Lovely shop, friendly staff. You are able to taste before you buy!HOWEVER, same prices as duty free, so don't go buying a ton of booze that you must pack in your suitcase to get through security at the airport!
You can taste all the different kinds of rum before you buy! Great place to buy rum, coffee and Cuban cigars!
We are fans of cuban rum, it's the main reason we went to Cuba on holiday, visiting the house of rum is a must to taste different rums and decide which ones to bring home
If you are a Rum fan then it is worth dropping and sampling the different types of rum made in Cuba. No advantage to buy here but does have a. Good selection, as price is controlled by the government and is the same everywhere. I bought Havana Club "the Ritual", that is made for the European market to make their Cuba Libres. I waited to buy some other older rum when I was at the airport. Unfortunately they were not giving samples of the more expensive brands. The staff were friendly and engaging.If you plan to go into Havana, go to the Museo el Ron. Skip the tour unless you really want to have a guide take you thru replicated models of the process. You get a tiny sample in a plastic cup. Instead I would go to the bar and pay to sample some of the special rums and pick if any wet your whistle? The only place I ever saw Havana Club glasses available for sale was at this museum. Never saw them anywhere else in Havana! If you want some for your bar need to get them there!
We got a 12 year old Rum.... That had a really nice taste..... We down to the end of the bottle looks like I should return to get a new bottle
But be careful you get the right bottles. He tried to switch one out for a cheaper, similar looking bottle.
If you like rum this is a must visit. The staff pour samples as fast as you empty your glass. They are knowledgeable and helpful. Try the cream rum liqueur. Liquid candy for adults. The prices, as I understand it, are set by the government so you don't pay any more or less here compared to anywhere else. It is located right across the street from the first beach bus stop in Varadero.
