Flor de Caña 18-Year

Very smooth and nice bit the flavor was too flat for me.

A solid buttery 8. The ruhm that got me to sipping ruhm... Easy to find and keep a bottle stocked.

Po radnem prechutnani doplnim detaily :) Prvni dojem je super. Jemna svezi vune. Cista sucha chut bez zbytecneho cukru.
Moc pekna barva.

This baby is another staple in my liquor cabinet. Definitely a fantastic rum.

this rum is stronger for me, dry and the taste of chocolate, it is probably drink more then 1 glass to find the right taste

Excelente solo o en la roca,un aroma a canela, jengibre, seco no es un ron dulce de echo el final tiene un poco de amalgo tipico del chocolate oscuro,suave como la seda demostrando sus 18 años " Mayor de edad "

Having read other reviews I was excited to try this. My first impression was heavy alcohol vapours, so let it rest for a while to see if that improved things.
It got better with time, but never won me over. A little too heavy on the oak for me, albeit a smooth drinker.

I keep this stocked on my bar. It's very well priced for the quality, at a quarter of the price of the 25 year.

This body is a buttery vanilla, with hits of butterscotch and toffee. Very light and smooth.

Cheers!

Finally bought a FdC18 while in Nova Scotia last week and I'm glad to have finally discovered this Rum. Having read the pros and cons about this offering, I poured myself a glass and let it sit for 10 minutes (as per "mistercoughy" recommendation) and added a couple drops of water.
Appearance: Dark Amber
Nose: Molasses and Oak
Palate: Toffee, Caramel and Vanilla
This rum is very smooth and well balanced and produces absolutely no burn in the throat. A real treat!

I drink rum straight up and this one was pretty hard to drink at first. I opened the bottle last night and was ready to give it a 4. Today I decided to give it another chance and have drank about a 3rd of the bottle. It has mellowed out since last night but it still has the most intense lingering alcohol vapor in your sinuses of all the aged rums I've tried that are 40% and has almost no seeetness. I gave some to my friend who is a bartender and didn't tell him what it was and he thought it was whisky confirming my thoughts about it. It's smoother than a 25 dollar bottle of whisky but definitely doesn't taste like what I want out of a rum, especially at $50 bucks. I will finish the bottle. It won't be buying it again.
