Per 9 euro, l'ho testato in un fornito locale della mia città.
Profumo abbastanza intenso, al palato risulta relativamente dolce e piacevole.
Si beve volentieri pur avendo un bouquet di aromi meno variegato di altri rum.
Persistenza media.
Promosso.
7/10.
La bottiglia mi piace assai.
Zachte rum die lekker weg drinkt. Mooie goud bruine kleur.
I've been drinking Flor18 for 13+yrs, but read the reviews about the 12 & went for it.
Overall not bad but I'll be sticking with my Flor18. The 12 is too alcoholy but did mix well.

Dolcissimo, note forti di melassa e vaniglia, normale

This is is decent rum. It’s very woody on the palate. It’s a solid value aged column still that’s widely available. It’s definitely not a sweet rum, which is nice to see in the world of dosed Spanish heritage rums.

Solid smooth 12 year room. Nothing new or surprising but the feel is quite premium while tasting this Niqaruagan beauty 🙂
Toto je prvý naozajstný rum, ktorý ako darček ma uviedol do sveta objavovania. Po 3 rokoch mu ostávam stále verný. Trochu liehový ale rovná, príjemná chuť. Nič v nom netrčí, je to rum na každú príležitosť. Ak si uvedomíte ze je bez pridaného cukru, zaslúžil by si oveľa väčšie hodnotenie.

Přes své stáří 12 let je rum v ocasu příjemně ostrý. V chuti a vůni výrazné dřevo s trochou vanilky. Další z řady nedoslazovaných rumů, kde vám cukr zbytečně nezakryje ostatní chutě, které nabízí tento kvalitní rum. K dobrému hodnocení přispívá i příjemná cena.

It is okay. Nothing near the 130th anniversary of course. Decent, respectable, no-nonsense rum, yet it lacks a bold profile and a unique pallette. Was expecting something more out of it, with the reputation of Flor de Cana and whatnot, something much more memorable. I wonder if i should try their 18 or 25, next! This is a brand i can respect.

Barely noticeable flavors of caramel and vanilla. Plus some oak.
Watery as hell, even after a month being open. Guess I'll let it breathe some more.

Flor de Cana 12 40%

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?
