The nose is quite harsh (especially immediately after decanting) - almost like pencil sharpenings soaked in ethanol.
By comparison, the taste is smooth and pleasant, with a prominent creamy butterscotch flavour that is more dry than sweet. I would expect far more depth and a longer finish from a 12-year-old rum though.
While most rums of this age would make a decent mixer, if you can justify mixing a rum in that price bracket, Flor de Caña 12-Year simply doesn't have enough character to punch through. Even ignoring the price difference, I'd much rather use a younger (and cheaper) rum that adds more flavour.

I prefer to drink Dark Rums with Root Beer. Barqs has caffeine, if I want it. The others don’t, if I don’t. This pairs fantastically with Root Beer, and that’s what I like. It’s pretty cheap for a decent rum, at around $32. I like their 18 year—but cannot justify the extra money, when this is so good. I am not the biggest on their 7 year; I think this 12 year is just right.

Had this on an Iberia flight from Madrid to Lima. The taste was very well balanced. I would try this again to pick up the exact notes. I recall honey and milk chocolate.

Nothing special about it, the alcohol is surprisingly present. I would not drink this neat.

Tried this at a friend's for which I was grateful, ax I haven't tried many South American rums.
Typical Spanish style flavours.
Not much smell, faint brown sugar.
Taste is pretty simple and smooth to start. Brown sugar and oak with a sliht touch of leather. The finish is pretty sharp though. There's a definite bite about it and bizarrely a touch of sweetness comes through at the same time.
Overall, this was much less distinct than Cuban rums. It lacks the tobacco vibe. It's very drinkable but pretty bland at the same time. I would go for Havana Club 7 most of the time.

Aangename, gerijpte geur. Droog, zacht, erg kruidig, iets weeïg, de eerste aanzet heeft veel smaak, maar mist daarna structuur en concentratie. Vanille, zoethout, rooibosthee, kandij, melasse.
Intens, matige balans, weinig gelaagd.
