This has to be one of the smoothes rums out there. It's not as spicy as lets say diplomático and maybe not as full bodied and complex, but man this rum surpriced me in a good way.
Thinking about caramel, a little vanilla honey, chocolate and hint of coffe in the taste profile it's something else then all the rums ive tried before.
It doesn't have much sugar in it but still taste just as sweet as a good rum should. Only reason i dont give it 10/10 but rather a 9/10 is that i want to save my 10 for something that just blows me away.
Every rum drinker should try this one, even those who are used to sugary sweet rums will like this even with it's low sugar content. I only drink my rums neat with one ice cube btw.
I certify this review is my own opinion and that I do not have a professional affiliation with Diplomatico.
It’s has a lovely golden colour. The nose is deep Carmel and spice but is dominated by ethanol at the end. Has a good flavour but has a short finish. It’s not the smoothest either. I do prefer this one with some coconut water ice. Very good on a hot and humid day. I’m going to grab that ice now and finish this night cap with a fuller and smoother flavour. 6.5 really for me and at £35 mark it’s a lovely addition to the cabinet.
Good bang for the buck, smooth taste, good for all occasions
One of my absolute favourites. The bottle feels a bit luxurious.
Light copper color, sweet dry fruit and vanilla notes on the nose. Taste gives oak and spices, quite dry. Then turns to a nice burn/warmth to chest. Taste doesn't last that long.
Maybe not a keeper, but I'll revisit it once in a while.
'smooth and full of fruit and nut flavors'
"Flor de Cana 12-Year rum review by The Ultimate Rum Guide"
There is very little astringency or “booze” noted in the nose.
"A sip reveals a very smooth yet spicy rum. There is very little burn it tingles on the lips and tongue for a long time. It is a long finish."

Ok. not great

out of 10
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.
