Flor de Caña 12-Year

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.

One word fits this rum, BLAH! I like the 7yr but it's a hard find. The list is $42 & I found it at $36 so, Hey why not? Again BLAH!

The smell is promising but the alcohol just overpowers the taste, Shame could be a solid rum.

Looking to start my rum journey and this was ton offer so I took the plunge, a noticeable step up from a basic rum but not quite as sweet as I would like.

It’s good, it has a long lingering aftertaste but just a little too much toasted coconut on it. All in all a solid rum.

La couleur très brune m’a fait penser a un spicy mais son côté mielé lui apporte une douceur incroyable. A la fois très agréable et très complexe

This was probably one of the first nicer rums I purchased. As a tiki hobbyist, the Zombie recipe does call for a Column Still Aged rum and this one fit the bill. For that purpose, I find it to do quite well.

I do not find a ton of complexity in this rum but I also feel like that is more on my untrained, newer, palette than on the rum. Strongest note for me is that of brown sugar.

Update: As I have continued my rum journey, I find this rum to really be lacking. I think I originally gave it the 7 based on the age statement and having little comparison. Nowadays it just seems to lack the character I expect of a 12 and the mouth feel is super thin. Kind of a disappointment.
