Behind all the fruity/vanilla etc notes I can detect a delicate rancid smell.
This might not be noticeable to drinkers that don't drink this rum neat but believe me this is a low grade rum which I will sadly never invest in again. It is a real shame as it reflects badly on rums de Nicaragua. Sorry but true as far as my delicate taste buds are concerned.

My go-to for mixed drinks, makes a sweet daquiri and doesn't break the bank, I gave it a 7 for that and of course this is not a rum for the connoisseur.

Lots of low reviews on this Flor De Cana offering. Although not as smooth as the 12 year it is very drinkable sipping rum. The sugar free aspect for me is what sets this rum apart from others.

Drinkable, though rougher than the 7 year.

I found it pretty bland, actually. There's nothing wrong with it - I've just a preference for Jamaican rums, with their propensity for slapping one in the face, whereas I'm afraid that this one would vanish if mixed into anything

Actually a bit suprised by this one. Like it just a bit better than the 7 year old. Mix it with coke

Very good for the price. My frien is from Nicaragua and he recommended it. And I was not disappointed

It's nothing special but worthy of being in the collection.

Much better than aldi Old Hopking. Reasonable to drink neat. Very good with a mixer. Excellent quality for the price. Smokey and smooth taste. Would definitely buy again.

After trying the FdC-7 I gave the FdC-12 a go and concluded that I would rather check out the FdC-5 than the 18 so her I am.

On the nose it is very easy to recognize the typical FdC-aroma; at first a bit high on alcohol followed by a variety of spices, fudge, orange peel, vanilla, burnt sugar. It is a tad lighter than the 7 and 12 expressions but clearly related. Apart from the, at first, strong alcohol smell the scents are more friendly than with the 7 and very much more sparkling than with the 12.

On the palate the whole rum is lighter and more vivid than the 7; less mature but in better balance and an easy and entertaining sipper yet a little less complex. The 12 has more flavours and depth, sure, but drinks like a dead product if you get that; it is very boring after a few sips. The 5 certainly is not. The 5 is an easy drink and a rum that I would pick just because of its youth and I like it more than the 7 and a lot more than the 12. It doesn't happen often that I prefer the younger bottlings more but with FdC I apparantly do.

Because of this rum I feel obliged to take the rating of the FdC-7 down by one mark and frankly the FdC-5 is the only FdC that I might buy again. At its pricepoint one of the nicer ones I tasted.

I didn't have great expectations, not a Flor De Cana fan, and this is what should be expected for any rum aged 3-5 year's.a 3-5 rating. Mixing rum only nothing redeeming on the palette from sipping.
