Flor de Caña 18-Year

Very good, a noticeably dry, rather raw that fruitful and flavorful. It's nice to get back to this one from time to time, but for an Jamaican rum lover like myselft, it's definitely not a go-to rum.

Good rum, definitely worth its price. A little bit harsh, but can be enjoyed both neat and in a cocktail.

waiting for the steak and enjoying FDC with truffle popcorn. great nose right out of the gate....smelling vanilla and toffee. taste was equally as pleasant now introducing some spice and a bit of alcohol. finish was a pleasant warmth that lingered. that coke never got close to the glass. this is a great sipper and a good example of what I enjoy drinking and continue to look for. Recommend! cheers

Smooth and round flavors together with really deep and complex aromas. A real sipper.

Profumo ottimo e equilibrato.
Al naso sentore dolce di vaniglia e noci.
Al palato leggero sentore di spezie e legno con finale lungo e piacevole. Personalmente uno dei miei preferiti.

There’s a lot to like here, primarily the complexity of the flavor the follows a very pretty vanilla bouquet. What’s not there that I hoped for is more body (it’s actually quite thin) and a longer, smoother finish (it ends with a rather abruptl bit of burning). For the price, all that I hoped for should have been there.

The aroma is nice on the nose, still light on flavor but with more burn, would stick with 15yr or move on

Unfortunately all I got on the nose was oak, and not much else. The oak overpowered the other flavors on the pallet as well, leaving me disappointed with this one

Unlike most rums, FdC's quality is straightforwardly related to its age. This is their best I've tried. I remember drinking 5 of these in a row and the bartender being bothered that it only rang up to $25 or so (he thought he was getting more $$$ out of an 18-year, I suppose. Best thing about FdC).

7,3:On the nose, similar as its younger brother 12, we find aromas of caramel and vanilla, a sweet impression, next, after airing a bit, woody notes, chocolate, a touch of orange and a hint of walnut come to the fore. It's lively and pretty round, but not deep.
7:On the palate, the attack is less sweet than one might expect and also more woody, roasted. Caramel and vanilla are again present, hint of butterscotch, some nuts, a hint of spices, everything comes a bit dry and it gives first duo a new perspective.
6:The finish is rather short and discreet. There is a slight bitterness and the vanilla/caramel combination, with the influence of wood, dominates this last stage of the tasting... A bit dull.
