Lekkere rum, maar doe mij de Havana Club 7 maar.

For me the 7 years old Flor de Cana is drinkable only mixed up, because he tastes in the finish like cheap hooch. Except the finish it is ok.
Chears

a nice sweet almost bourbon flavoured rum, nice with coke and lime.

Nothing that sets the world on fire, but by the same token, there's not much wrong with it either. Smooth enough, but lacks kick and length so over all is a little bit bleh!

Flor de Caňa je firma z Nikaraguy, založená v roce 1937 společností Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua.V překladu Flor de Caña znamená "květ cukrové třtiny".
Měl jsem k ochutnávce zakoupenou lahev Grand Reserve starou 7 let, která se u nás prodává asi za 390,-Kč.
Rum se prodává v elegantní lahvi.Vyrábí se z melasy a sedm let zrání v dubových sudech o objemu 180 litrů, které byly předtím jen jednou použity, se projevilo pěknou mahagonovou barvou.
Aroma: Ve vůni dominuje alkohol, cítíte také trochu karamel.
Chuť: Na jazyku najdete jakousi máslová příchuť, opět karamel, snad i trocha papřovosti, bohužel pro mě, chuť celkově není ničím zajímavá, řekl bych až fádní a od sedmiletého rumu jsem opravdu čekal něco více.
Dokončení je alkoholově teplé, trochu kořenité.
Shrnutí: Suma sumárum se z tohoto kousku vyklubalo mé první rumové zklamání.
Hodnotím 65 bodů, nemůžu si pomoct, po lepší kvalitě se u této firmy budu případně muset porozhlédnout ve vyšší kategorii, třeba 12y za 745,-, nebo Gold 18 za 1333,-.

Fellow rum enthusiasts may not agree with me, but I enjoy Flor de Cana in mixed drinks, especially Mojitos. I get such great joy ordering up a Flor de Cana Mojito at a bar when it's available. Depending on the bartender, you may be reminded that traditional Mojitos are made with white rum. Never fear to have something new.

Flor de Cana is smooth, smells great, slightly boozy, and can costs about $30 depending on where you do. If you are willing to pay $30 for a dark rum, there are other good options depending on if you want to sip or mix. I would advise you to spend no more than that on Flor de Cana.

I can enjoy a glass of this during a hot summers evening with an ice cube!

Definitely better than house rum... but not my favorite for sipping or mixing. Its got a little too much bite for me to sip, but the other flavors overpower a mix a little bit. Still very drinkable... and very preferred over cheap/common labels.

This is one of my go to rums for mixing aged rum. At $21 a bottle you can't beat the price. It's smooth enough to drink on the rocks but really stands out mixed with a coke.

Kjøpt i Alicante

Nothing special and good with coke. I won't buy this next time. .

Love the Ron Floe de Cana #7 and all theFlor de Cana rums there great with to mix or just sipping love them all

Not ideal for sipping. Excellent for Cuba Libres. A classic choice that I will continue going back to.

Not great

Not a sipping rum, but very good with ginger ale.

A decent sipper, sort of gets lost with coke.

Well appointed, but not remarkable

This rum is okay, but I really expected something smoother for 7 year aged rum.

Nice smooth rum, great daily drinker

Not a bad choice

Surprising for a 7 yo.
Surprenant pour un 7 ans.

Has a good smell to it

Found this to be a pretty standard middle of the range rum offering. With notes of fruit, nuts and spice in the body that lead to a light smoky oak finish. Great for Mojito's and other fruit based cocktails.
