Not my favorite rum. I like smoother rum than this .Need taste 18 and 25 years.

Quite mellow taste, doesn't have the complexity I usually prefer.

Tasty rum which I personally drink dry. The final note sounds like something sweet or maybe vanilla to me.

This is a very good Rum, but not great. It is not to sweet as I expected, but it it is very smooth. You can taste the oak flavors for sure.
It is a rum to sipped slowly, not to drink right away. Ok Rum….. but I need more flavors and uniqueness in a great RUM…

I've seen this stuff as cheap as $35. I think it is a decent deal. I compared this next to El Dorado 12 in the same sitting. 1oz, 2 cubes, swirl and slowly sip. The Flor de Cana is a little more subtle. A bit fruity, and perhaps vanilla, or bubble gum-like. The El Dorado 12 was much more robust with oak and spice with dark sugar. While sipping the Flor de Cana it was reminding me of one of my favorite sippers, which is Kaniche XO and Kaniche Perfeccion. This Flor de Cana is like a less sweet/unsweetened version of Kaniche. As I said in the title everything about this rum in subtle, nothing stands out on its own, but its decent. For the money I may buy again, but doesn't top Kaniche XO as my best sipping rum for the money.

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

Just like the 12- year El Dorado, 12-year Flor de Caña is something of a cornerstone. It was Anthony Bourdain who introduced me to this rum and it was hell of a struggle to have a contraband bottle delivered to me months later. Drop that ultra premium, sustainably produced crap no one buys and you will end up with a really pleasant sipper in a really nice bottle. And thank God it was just few months later, it finally arrived on the local market and I have had multiple bottles downed ever since, as it became one of my go-to rums.

I did not know it before, but it was very nice surprise. Taste is very light and smooth.

I found this to be a lovely not too sweet rum to sip over ice. Not so expensive that I wouldn't want to mix it and enjoy a cocktail.

Having exhausted all the cheaper rums available to me, with a mixed level of enjoyment, I decided to take advantage of a black Friday sale to try a bottle of this after hearing good things.

Simply put, I could drink this neat all day long. It's got a little heat but it's balanced fantastically with the sweetness of the sugar cane and it's one of the few rums where I've really been able to pick up on the different stages of flavour for each sip.

I will definitely be buying it again.
