I’d say it’s maybe a little lower than Appleton 12 Rare Blend for me personally. I’d give it a 6.5 if I could. Not my favorite, but still good.

Very thin body, in taste only ethanol and sugar. Similar to Metuzalem 15y. I'm happy I get only sample for testing. For the lrice you can find much better choices...

I found this rum very similar to the 18 years version, it is smooth and without any additional flavor. It is a very good rum to drink with ice or alone.

well, I tried it few days ago, it is good rum, very good, however it does not inspire me to write anything about it... it misses "soul" but I will give more tries to Flor de Cana collection
edit: after some more rums, i bought this one again, 7/10 still applies, i must say it is not that great sipper (but still enjoyable) , but it is a great refference rum to start your tasting with, bit dry with small afterburn, i call these "real" or "pirate" rums hahaha, no pretending, just good serious aged dark rum, definitely cant go wrong with this one, but not recommendable for sugar and sweets lovers

Tout d'abord, on ne peut qu'être séduit par cette magnifique bouteille!
Belle couleur ambrée, le nez dégage pas mal d'alcool au début avant de laisser percer des notes de fruit sec (amande) et (un peu) de vanille.
En bouche, l'alcool est toujours bien présent et pique un peu la langue et le palais. Ce rhum manque à mon goût un peu de rondeur et se montre plutôt sec, tirant limite sur un whisky.
J'arrive à déceler des notes de caramel et de vanille.
Ce rhum est assez fin mais manque pour moi un peu d'épaisseur...
Bon, mais pas exceptionnel non plus à mon humble avis de débutant!

This is a very good sipper. It's a bit drier than the El Dorado 12-year-old that is my favourite.

I've come to appreciate flor de cana much more than in the past, they have single vintage bottling, so no blends, it provides a very smooth and clean taste. The 12 year old is very good, and the 18 year old even better. I've got the 25 year old on my wish list, I'll see how it compares to the other 25 year old I've tried.

The nose is a bit too closed for my liking. I like a good dose of fruit and oak, especially from a 12y along with a bit more weight, especially from its time in American oak. Having said that, I have just opened the bottle, so maybe it might open up a bit.

The body does display more oak and complexity and there is a good dollop of alcohol. It's not the smoothest but I like it. I like a rum that has a bit of umphh to it. It gives length to the rum and leaves a nice mouth feel. I suspect that if it had richer fruit, more depth and a touch more complexity, it could be a stunning rum if/when married to the alcohol.

It's definitely smooth but lacks in the flavor department especially when compared to something like Doorly's 12 yr which is also a natural rum. It's grassy tasting and there is a tiny bit of Barbancourt 8 yr Agricole-like flavor in there. There are some very mild caramel and smokey flavors there however the smokey may just be from charcoal filtering. Again it's smooth and if that's what ur looking for I recommend it, however it's just kind of blah tasting and not that special for a 12 yr rum IMO.

This is quite different then other 12yrs I've tried. the flavours are subtle, not overpowering, not sweet either. Not as this and rich as others but very enjoyable and smooth.
