Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-Year

Not sweet or very soft, but balanced vanilla / oak / caramel. I drink it in the mix.

À venir prochainement..............................

Un rhum vraisemblablement non trafiqué, mais dilué à 40%, d'un âge véritable de 7 ans.
Le prix est peu élevé, et le rendu correct : des notes légères de vanille, un peu de bois, quelques fruits secs et une légère pointe amère.
Pas le rhum du siècle, mais plutôt simple à boire, à utiliser pur, avec des glaçons ou pour les cocktails.

I've drunk bucket loads of the 7 yr. old Flor de Cana. It is cheap enough to mix (around 22 euro's here), it goes extremely well with cola, yet is good enough to sip. It might be the most versatile rum in the world. It fits racous parties as much as quiet late drinking on your own. I've always loved the warm nutty, buttery caramel and vanilla notes in Flor de Cana, though it's not too sweet and I was relieved to see that testresults showed it has no or very little sugar added. I also had the pleasure of drinking it in its home country Nicaragua where it is a staple for young hipsters as well as old grannies drinking in their rocking chairs. Also it is delightfully cheap over there. When I left Nicaragua I was sweating Flor de Cana Gran Reserva.

This rum is good yet I would not choose it primarily for sipping neat due to it's slightly edgy character. An ice cube may help to dilute the alcohol feeling (even though me and my friends drank it mostly neat and enjoyed it). I don't mix so I can't say how it works there, but it must work as an exceptionally great mixer as it is not very sweet and remains strong. So you can sip it if you are ready for some edge, but within Flor de Caña I would definitely reach for the wonderful 12 year old.

Realy good taste. You should try it. Don't suit everyone but I realy like it.

Belle couleur. Bon rhum avec du cola mais je suis pas un super fan des flor de cana a part bien sur le 18 ans....25 ans a venir

It has the oaky finish and a little harsh because of the young age,but it is an excellent daily sipper,which won't hurt your finances too much. Nice Nicaraguan,i prefer the 12yo tho

Dry and balance esay to enjoy this rum on the rocks, but is not complex enough to justify sipping. Better for Cuba Libres and mixed drinks.

Had it straight and in rum coke
Nice smooth and round but prefer it with cokctails
