Superb: Spicy, nutty, salty, smokey and subtle all balanced with a freshening zesty orange aroma. Wow. (I used blood orange peel for the zest.) Will be returning to this gem. Thanks again Mr Difford.

Havana 7 as all the mentions in green color are just paid product placements and in 95% of the cases a bad choice (or at least far from ideal) for the drinks, sadly. As he states later, it's originally with Zacapa 23. I'd recommend El Dorado 12 or 15 for example.
