It is an acceptable sipping rum although not first rate. Enjoyable but hasn't got the depth of some higher quality rums.

Decent rum, nice bottle. Good enough to drink neat or on the rock.

La última botella que compre me costó 14€ y era muy interesante la acompañaba un librito de poesía y un estuche muy majo.......pero como ron es bueno ya que tiene ese golpe fuerte del ron pero no el dulzor que busco y hay otros mejores por ese precio.

Medium amber in color. Pleasing nose with hints of cherries and vanilla. Wood surprises the tongue, with more vanilla. Very smooth finish but drier than expected based on all that preceded.

Color dorado de tono anaranjado, en nariz no hay notas destacables siendo muy plano en aroma tal vez notas de café, una vez en boca notas de frutos secos tostados parecido a nuez, deja un picor alcoholico similar a pimienta, para mi gusto demasiado seco, un poco de dulzor le vendría bien, para un 12 años el alcohol es muy intenso tanto en nariz como en boca.

Sugary and Sweet with a lot of honey notes. Would recommend this but if you want to go a step better get the 18 year.

It's only 12 years old, but it'll need another 12 to taste.

A decent drop, find it a bit light for my personal tastes.
Super sweet rum, recommended 100% if you find a good offer below 30$/L

Not bad, not great. Kind of smooth, but felt like there wasn't much taste.

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.
