Do you think Havana Club tastes better than other rums? Thanks I did a taste test with Havana Club light, Bacardi light, Myers's Platinum, and Flor de Cana light. Havana Club beat them all. My 2nd. pick was Myers, 3rd. Flor de Cana, and Bacardi wasn't even close - it tasted like gasoline when tried straight. The Havana Club gold and Anejo are also good but I haven't done a taste test against other gold rums. Gold rums vary so much in flavor that it wouldn't be as meaningful to compare them.
