Dry Oaky Eruption.
 
The origin of Flor de Caña dates back to 1890 at the base of Nicaragua’s most active volcano, the San Cristobal. The fertility of its soil, the volcanic climate to which the barrels are exposed during the aging process and the enriched volcanic water contribute in creating a singularly smooth and deliciously balanced Rum.

Flor de Caña is naturally aged in small white oak bourbon barrels sealed with plantain leaves, producing a distinguished and elegant Rum with tropical notes. This uninterrupted aging process gives the Rum its remarkable amber color and rich flavor without the aid of accelerants, unnatural additives and with zero sugar content.

This is a stunning, 18-year-old brilliant amber ultra-premium Rum that is full-bodied, with a rich complexity of flavors and a smooth finish that lingers on the palate. Almost two decades go into its production, and the tradition and artisanal excellence behind it can be savored in every drop. "Among the Finest Products in the World" by the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

A little bit of etymology; nobody really knows where the word Rum comes from. The most popular suggestions are Rum (the Romani word for 'potent'), Rumbullion (an uproar), Saccharum (sugar in Latin), and Rummer (a Dutch drinking glass).

Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Bright mahogany brown
 
Nose / Aroma / Smell 
Let it breathe. Full of rich oak spice, some zesty orange peel, dark brown sugars, dark caramel toffee and nutmeg. Also hints of cinnamon, vanilla and anise.
 
Flavor / Taste / Palate
Dry and spicy, with layers of cocoa, dark caramel and spice. A strong oak presence that starts to dominate after a while.
 
Finish
Long, smooth and clean. Presence of walnut, dark chocolate. Oaky, leathery, smokey steals the polish from the finish.

joseph
joseph,
It is one of the smoothest spirits to drink, would be a shame to mix with anything. Best with some ice
 
MK
MK,
Excellent. Great with a coconut/pineapple mixer
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, complex, Dark Rum that has a rich & aromatic birth; while a dry & full life leads to a long & tropical death with notes of toasted banana, walnut, dark chocolate., oak, leather & smoke.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
I liked that it wasn't as sweet as many times tend to be. Left room for other tastes. As a sipper the end just falls off the edge of the table, almost completely disappears. Makes an outstanding rum & coke but not practical at this price point.
 
Matthew
Matthew,
This one took some time for me to appreciate, but what a delicious rum. I love that it's free of color and flavor additives. It's a pure/dry rum with an incredible amount of depth. On the palate it's pure oak with a hint of caramel and vanilla. With a drop of water or a small ice cube, delicious toasted banana and vanilla notes come out. A pure sipping rum that bourbon and scotch lovers could easily get into.

One of the best rums I have tried! Great for enjoying it on the rocks or just neat!

Spectacular rum! Enjoy it on the rocks or just neat.
 
Jason
Jason,
Starts with a very light, silky nose. It’s a very mellow caramel taste with a stronger chocolate finish. It’s good, and extremely smooth, but I had thought there would be more to it.
 
melissa
melissa,
great for sipping or in a cocktail!
 
Mat
Mat,
I though this smelled very fresh and citrusy, with loads of lemon notes and some vanilla. Quite fruity on the palate too but this just didn't really impress. Much better rums out there at this price point.
 
Patrick
Patrick,
My single favorite rum. I love this one so much. a perfect sipping rum and because of the price you're not bothered mixing it in a little cola with alot of lime. So so very good for such an amazing prize. I have a bottle opened and unopened always.
 
Rabecka
Rabecka,
Never makes a bad drink and never leaves sorry in the morning. Easy going down on the rocks too

One of the best rums I have tasted
 
Colin
Colin,
Smells and tastes like straight rubbing alcohol. Not good.
 
Valentin
Valentin,
Caramel and a hint of tropical fruits on the nose, dry and a little spicy on the tongue with a not very lasting finish. Pretty decent but nothing exceptional in any way
 
Tyler
Tyler,
At the 18’s price point, this is the best rum by flor de Cana. The 25 has more flavor but it’s over priced. It’s just not a $100 a bottle better rum! Go with the 18, it’s delicious and so smooth.
 
Danny
Danny,
Very complex. Excellent straight or on the rocks.
 
Marvin
Marvin,
Sweet but enough bite to drink alone. No ice? No problem.
 
Richard
Richard,
I love this rum. Only slightly sweet with a touch of cinnamon. Half a shot every night is a perfect way to end the day.
 
Christopher
Christopher,
Not as smooth as I thought it would be. OK, but I've had better.

Discovered on a beach in Mexico!
 
Russell
Russell,
Oh my gosh! The best rum I've had prior to this was Sailor Jerry. That swill is rubbish compared to this! The best part is it's not overly sweet. What a find!
 
Nathan
Nathan,
This was very very smooth. My wife can't really drink anything straight up. But this, she could. It was smooth without being meek and mild. Lots of velvet flavor. Definitely a favorite now, we will be keeping this stocked. Thank you for introducing us to this one.
 
Michael
Michael,
Very smooth. Not overly sweet.
 
Ken
Ken,
I just received this in the mail and was anxious to try it. Very smooth with a nice sweetness with similar in Carmel and orange on the tongue and an Oak nose. This makes a very nice sipping rum and I would highly recommend it
 
Zachary
Zachary,
Very smooth rum. Not a hard alcohol taste. Almost certainly a nice aroma, no sting to the aromatics. Got decently hammered.
