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.

I tried this rum with 3 cigar pairings over several sessions in a single day.
The first pairing was with a A fuente gran reserva maduro. I found the alcohol to just come to the top of the nose sharply as well as the palate, I also felt it went down a bit fiery in the throat a rarity for a 12 year old rum.
The second pairing was a brick house Maduro a sweeter spicier Nicaraguan cigar seemed to pair much better and the flavors came out a bit more and it seemed sweeter and smoother overall as the cigar paired well with this.
The final pairing was a 7-20-4 Maduro. this was an unmemorable experience and I don't think the pairing helped nor detracted from this experience.
Overall, I would smoke a Brick house cigar maduro wrapper anytime with this as a perfect pairing which enhanced the rum.
On its own this rum I felt was below the bar I was expecting for its age and price point. Its incredibly sharp nose detracted from this. I actually held my nose like a child as I drank this from my snifter. This also was fiery in the throat a rarity for a more aged rum almost comparable to a lower end gold but not quite. Mixed its much better but at the general price of admission I could point you to plantation artisinal or 10+ other rum mixers which are on par or better actually, so I have omitted this from my score.
Overall, I wanted to love this rum, I really did. I have heard so many great things about it. This experience detracts me from this rum line away from trying 18. I think ill stick with other lines for now.
Finally, I was not Flor'd.
