Very tasty, just some ice will suffice. I like that it's not that sweet and very delicate in the aftertaste.

Sharp, excellent by itself and also with coca cola. Also went well with ginger beer! Best by itself, one ice. Recommend it
I would put this on par with El dorado 12, similar style as well. Better than Appleton Estate 12 yr rare blend.
Příjemná jemná chuť, nasladlejši. Dobrý cena výkon.

This is a great sipping rum, I enjoy it with lime on the rocks. I prefer this over their 18yr aged rum.

Dry, unsweetened, oaky, with notes of vanilla and a complex profile. I personally do not really enjoy this one, despite being a fan of unsweetened rums. Objectively an interesting rum, just not my preference.

The aroma is very mild, not identifiable.
There’s a little more sweetness that I prefer but it goes along with cocoa caramel and spices, tobacco etc. which balance it. Crisp finish
Not surprising it’s fairly popular

Na nose jemný s příjemnou vanilkou medem a dřevem, to samé v chuti. Jeden s mnoha rumů, které neurazí ani nenadchnou, na doma si ho nepořídíte, ale na návštěvě ho vypijete s chutí.

Flor de Cana 12 40% (Nicaragua)
Eye: Deep, dark, reddish mahogany
Nose: Starts with rum raisins, mahogany and whiffs of diesel fumes. A sharp cloud of alcohol numbs the nose. Then developments of marzipan and modeling clay followed by orange soaked honey and a huge load of nuts such as macadamias, hazel and Brazil nuts. The smell is still sharp even after ten minutes.
Mouth: This is new! De Cana has a very delicate sweetness to it which entwines around a heavenly creaminess in the middle register. Very exciting! Unfortunately this is almost lost in the immense alcohol cloud de Cana refuses to let go of. It is troubling to say the least and overshadows nearly everything. Here we have the most appealing rum possible (in a small doze) and it seems to be diluted by vodka. How sad! The nuts are still the main theme with the cream and fine sweetness as passive wingmen.
Reaction: I´m thinking older siblings in the Flor de Cana family could be interesting to meet with. The twelve year old feels young and uncertain but the pedigree is there and should be able to produce something more astute. This one feels adolescent, thin and a little cheap which it really isn´t. This version would never be my first choice among the many other tasty friends I have in my cabinet so when do I drink it?
