Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-Year

Сначала в аромате - сухофрукты и дерево, аромат приятный и чуть спиртуозный, но это не портит картину. Вкус довольно слабый, неопределённый, терпкий, чуть сладковатый но всё равно какой-то водянистый и непонятный. Послевкусие практически отсутствует, спиртяга чувствуется слишком сильно. Возможно, в коктейлях и зайдёт, но в чистом виде - так себе. К тому же, его цена сильно завышена.

At first there are dried fruits and oak in aroma, which is pleasant and has a bit of spirit in it, but it doesn't mar the impression. Taste is weak, vague, harsh, a bit sweet, but still watery and unclear. Aftertaste is almost absent, but spirit harshness is too strong. It might be OK in cocktails, but straight - so so. Apart from that it's heavily overpriced.

P. S. The bottle really looks different, as some reviewers already mentioned

I have had this rum many times while working in Nicaragua and it is both great on its own and in a mix. It has a nice soft smell and the local price of only a couple of euros per bottle is unbeatable!

Hace tiempo que no lo veo pero por los 7'95€ que me costó la última botella está bien, lastima lo de los números enteros, yo no soy de mezclar, este tampoco lo mezclaría, pero se nota bastante el alcohol aunque también tiene ese gusto dulce, el ponerle un 6 es bajo lo sé pero aquí son números enteros, estaria más cerca del 7 que del 6

This is a very solid, but unsurprising rum. A sharp nose of alcohol greets you on first pour, but it settles down quickly.

Tones of caramel and vanilla are standard, but can be somewhat artificial.

This is best used as a mixing rum.

Good every day rum, not great! Perfect on a Cuba Libre.

Not a huge fan of this rum. It’s a little less flavorful the I usually prefer

I suspect I'll need to revisit this one. I had it with Coke, and it was somewhat underwhelming compared to my regular Coke staple mixer, the Abuelo 7. Granted, the Abuelo is a bit more expensive. I'll have to try doing something else with this to see where it'll shine. This is definitely not sugared, which may be a factor. That's not a bad thing, it just makes it different.

This rum is nothing special and also not bad. I have tastend beter runs than this.

Relatively ubiquitous, moderately priced, dependable and satisfying.
