Flor de Caña 18-Year

Well I was very excited to buy this bottle but after uncorking it I must say not for me . The oak overtones or whiskey nose as I call it was (is) to much , I let the bottle breath and even put it in a decanter but I can't sip this and mixing doesn't make it better for me but that's what I'll do to get through it
In a rum and coke it is smooth and easy to drink with I must say a dry note in the throat .
I would buy the 12 flor de Cana any day over this one
But to each his own

This rum has strong flavor signatures that leave your pallet begging for more. Instantly picking up the sweet undertones of surge, vanilla, and caramel. A glass has a dark amber color, and has an aroma of sweet sugars.

Very smooth and balanced. Not too sweet and still tastes like an aged rum. I'll buy this one again.

Lately I've been ordering a different bottle every couple of weeks and this one was worth the wait! A great sipping rum, this one is very smooth with rich flavor.

I bought this bottle as my first top-shelf choice. After having tasted Bacardi's Ocho, Solera, Gran Añejo and Morgan Spiced, I wanted something from a higher league.

Definitely worth it. Outstanding straight or on the rocks. For what it costs, I wouldn't dare waste it on coke.

This is one of my go to rums. The price point is really great for what you get in this Rum. Nice caramel and vanilla notes plus it is quite smooth. Not as smooth as the 25 year old Flor de Cana but at 100 bucks less this is a rum you need to try.

Received this as a Xmas gift and was nothing short of ecstatic to uncork it. I let it breathe for a while and had it on the rocks. Extremely smooth all the way down. Leaves a nice warm feeling down in your belly and an amazing flavor pallette in your mouth.

Initially it will seem dry, but partially attributed to the strong alcohol smell. After a few minutes in your glass this rum will marvelously provide a great balance between a strong rum and a sweet (molasses-oriented) type of rum.

Leave it in your glass for a while before sipping. If you dont want a sweat rum but with body then this is a good pick

Toffee with an apple pie flavor to it. My friends are whiskey (whisky), lovers and tried this sipping rum. They loved it as it was their induction in to the rum arena.
When you first open the bottle it smells like turpentine. Foul. However if you let it sit in the glass for a few minutes, the overwhelming alcohol burns off and you're left with a delicious sipping rum.
We always keep this on hand.
