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.

Very rich rum, dark tones in noise and palate. Complex but not overdone. Very good mixer for me, but also on the rox

No predominant aromas, just a well rounded rum, might feel generic at first but the balance will come through after a while

Having been recommended this by a friend maybe I was expecting too much, but this is pretty basic fare. No complexity to speak of and an underwhelming 40%, the only real plus for me is that it isn't too sweet. I'm guessing there are better rums at this end of the market and won't be buying again.

Me lo regalaron y lo tuve mucho tiempo hasta que decidí abrirlo. Exquisito ron, lo volvería a comprar, buen cuerpo, aroma y paladar.

The Flor de Caña 12 exhibits a pleasingly complex taste profile that seems to contain tiny hints of minerals. This is perhaps because of its origin; I wouldn't know. But it is a very fine rum indeed and will please most people. You should be aware, however, that it's anything but sweet so if that's what you're looking for, don't park here; drive on by. It'd certainly suit being mixed in a drier style cocktail but I don't recommend it as a sipper for this very reason. No complaints though; this was a pleasant surprise for me and I'd definitely buy it again.

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 8/29/18. This may be the sweet spot of the FdC lineup. Actually quite good. Good enough for me to keep a bottle at home.

Reasonably good sipping rum, but a bit too less sweet for my taste. Also, not as smooth as other rums with similar age (e.g. Abuelo). Still, definitely recommendable.

Lacking in almost every aspect. Diluted flavour. A bit sweet. Ok for sipping, but won’t be a tremendous experience.

Rhum pleins de promesses au nez et à la première attaque mais totalement dépourvue par la suite, petite déception.

This rum is for those who like dry rums. Intriguing bottle.
