Flor de Caña 12-Year

A rum with woody profile. On the nose is a lot of wood and orange (reminds me of MG XO).
Not very special or complex. Less spicy than MG. I could imagine bourbon cask with cognack finish.
The initial taste is weak, in the middle there is some spirit with citrus (the alcohol Integration is not very good). Overall it's not a bad rum, but there are much better rums.

Smell: oak, caramel, orange, dry fruits, earth
Taste: smooth, young wood (almost paper), some orange, caramel, citrus
Finish: spice, wood, orange

Sweetness: 1.5/5
Fruit: 2.5/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 3.5/5
Complexity: 2.5/5
Value (25€): 2/5

This is a great value for the quality of rum that you get. The aroma and palate is very similar to Santa Teresa and Real McCoy 12. It’s a good to go drink.

Een rum die makkelijk weg drinkt maar niet lekker blijft hangen .

Vlakke rum. Doet weinig in eerste instantie. Droog en houtig in het midden maar verdwijnt vrij snel. Alcohol blijft langer hangen.

Tento rum jsem si zakoupil jelikož má krásnou láhev. Je to dobrý rum i na dlouhé popíjení.

Vůně: příjemná
Chuť: vyvážená, dojezd tvrdší
Opětovná koupě: ne
Cena: okolo 800,- Kč

I smell the coconut, caramel aroma, woody flavour, not too intensive, short finish.

Lighter than it looks, with nice oak and vanilla undertones, it’s not quite as smooth as I’d expect after 12 years in the barrel. Still a solid choice to sip, and stands up well to ice or lime.

This rum is very smooth and great in all sort of cocktails

bit stronger, than i would expect from a 12yr old rum.

It has an interesting aroma but you can feel the strong taste of alcohol. I liked the package, the color of the rum and the bottle.
