Flor de Caña 12-Year

Also not one I would buy again. Many other options including the FDC 5yr which is perfect as a mixing rum.
No point in paying more for the FDC12 to have to mix it.
Quite harsh with a strong alcohol burn.

Unique rum, almost has a terroir like a wine. Flavors of wet stone, astringent qualities as well.

This rum is a decent mixer but not my favorite sipper. It is a nice dark gold color and comes in an elegant, stout bottle. However, I tend to think of Flor de caña rums having a bit of a bite to them, and this is no different despite the age. The taste has some pleasant wooden notes
The aftertaste is dry, which can be nice, but is also bitter in this case. I also find the aroma a bit harsh, even after resting in the glass.

This is the rum I grew up on. I would recommend drinking neat or with a light mixer. This is smooth and on the sweeter side.

Ce rhum est juste ok.
Saveurs de Vanille et de noix de coco sont au rendez-vous.
Bien comme un rhum de tous les jours!
Cheers.

Un bon rhum avec un packaging vraiment sympa. Je l'apprécie.

Smooth and flavorful, better with age. I just did a tasting with my father and this was a hidden gem.

Not as smooth as I like but still a decent sipping rum. Notes of Vanilla, Caramel, oak, and spice.

Smell: 7
Taste: 7

Kellemes,harmonikus,nem egy top rum,de finom!

I think I preferred the 7 year one. Bought this one on sale and even for a few bucks off it's not worth paying above what the 7 cost. It really falls flat in terms of flavour as a whole, and it's certainly too expensive to be throwing coke in its general direction.

I'll have to try the 5 year next.
