Flor de Caña 18-Year

If you can afford the 25 year. Get that instead. But this is a very good rum. Very smooth and just sweet enough. No burn. Goes down well. Definite sipper for me.

I was a little skeptical of this since Flor de Cana has gotten a lot of bad press for what they call "18 year". That said, the nose was very nice with notes of nuts, caramel and chocolate that left me holding off my first sip for quite a while. The first taste was sweet but not overly which then brings in some spiciness and tobacco.

All in all I liked it but I'm not sure if I would seek it out and buy in the future.

Habe für mich festgestellt, das viele Rum- Sorten davon profitieren
wenn man sie ein wenig im Glas atmen lässt.
So auch dieser gute Rum. Er entfaltet sein Aroma erst nach
ein paar Minuten. Geruch nicht sehr stark ausgeprägt, Vanille mit Alkohol, dafür der Geschmack um so mehr, Vanille, Caramel und Holz mit einer Süßen Note.
Unter dem Strich ein solider Rum für jeden Tag.

For the price point, I'm definitely going with Plantation XO 20, Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva, Zaya and more. It is good just not great.

Incredibly smooth rum. Great on the rocks. This is the rum I treat myself to for great occasions.

By the colour and smell you would except much sweeter rum. Firstly its dominated by spicy tones but after that its quite smooth.

suhoj rom. daleko ne shedevr, vipil i zabil. ne moe.

I enjoy this rum, but it just doesn’t fall into the LOVE category. It did make a badass rum and coke that you can mix super strong. I know, it’s sacrilege, but it just was too flat a flavor profile for me to enjoy sipping it. On ice there was waaaay to much bitter wood that came through.

This is a very different rum, its not as sweet as others and has a strong citrus component. I taste a lot of orange notes, which isn't normal for my rums but I still love it.

Nothing special, but the price is high. Alcohol taste in your mouth, no flavours. Dont buy it.
