The first-ever rum made specifically to match a Cuban cigar docks on Malaysian shores after Havana Club launched the premium Havana Club Unión. The dark rum - part of the Icónica collection — is inspired by tobacco leaves, where Maestro Ronero Asbel Morales combines Base Oro and Base Centenario to create a smooth, aromatic and powerful spirit that pairs perfectly with the Cohiba Siglo VI cigar.
There’s no denying that the Unión is visually attractive, with a rich amber hue that reflects the extensive period of natural aging. As you lift the glass to take a sip, you’ll get a whiff of oak and smoke with fruits and coffee, before the flavours of wood, tinged with vanilla, chocolate and dried fruit, dance on the tongue. This deliciously rich drink is available in limited quantities in Malaysia for an estimated MYR1,800.

MARTELL VSOP
Much like its brethren, the charming Sabrina Transiskus design wraps the Martell VSOP gift set – albeit in deep amber to complement the cognac’s rich hue. Unwrapping this gift, you’ll find the cognac’s fruity sweetness and woody notes inside a 70cl bottle as well as two cognac rock glasses in an exclusive design. Here’s to toasting to the New Year in style!
