Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-Year

If you're new get this rum.It's a great introduction to sipping and aged rum. Instead of adding water or ice to help you appreciate this, try leaving some in a glass for a few hours or overnight before consuming.

It's my favorite rum, since it was the first rum I drank without any ice or additional drink. It was with this rum I fell in love with drinking rum.

Flor 12, 18 and 25 once you try any of those, the rest is just not good enough, this 7 years burns my throat every time i try it, its cheap but its not worth it, theres better things out there.

Nice daily sipper.
Not really good but definately worth it as a sipper for now and then.

Un ron con un aroma delicioso y un sabor con carácter que deja a Flor de Caña muy bien parado.
Demostrando que pueden hacer mejores rones.

Smooth and enjoyable, no need to kill it with cola or lime. A splash and a wedge in a short glass with rocks is a fine drink.

So if you need something that you are willing to share and dont have to spend a whole lot of bread, this is the bottle to get.

I happened upon this when searching for something that I could drink during a family cookout, knowing full well a few of the family lushes would be standing next to me with their cup empty, looking for a taste. They always like the high end stuff I buy.

Well this time I bought FDC 7y thinking I was getting something that would be easy on my pockets (cheap), and that I could drink with my cigar, and not have to share my good stuff. Well it surprised me for sure. Not bad at all, but obviously not top shelf. Still not bad to sip on, and again it was easy on the wallet.

That was my initial rating which was a 7. However, years later with 39 rums down the hatch, I'm bumping it up. It is the best rum I've found available in 1.75 L bottles which cuts the price significantly. My ratings are on taste, smoothness and price. My initial rating is below.

This was one of .my experiments. I am no connoisseur but I drink aged rum on the rocks regularly. This was a good rum but not good enough to warrant a second bottle. I would definitely drink and enjoy it, but there are so many others out there to try. It's middle of the pack

Flor de Caña was – a long, long time ago – my first serious rum (muchas gracias Gerardo). It became almost instantaneously my reference for any comparisons. Nowadays I would join the “my go to” club. Fully share David’s opinion poste on 4 April 2016.

NB: I am not a specialist. It just happens that I like rum.

Wood & alcohol very present, sweetness more subtle, good quality for mixing, around 15€ when you order it, 18-20€ in the cornershop. But I prefer the Santiago de Cuba Anejo with its 5 year and same price, better in nearly every sense.
