Flor de Caña 18-Year

Not sure if its better than any of its lesser aged cousins, but for what it is its a great sipping rum.

A lot better than the 12yr had to special order this one in.

I like this, but it comes across more like a whiskey than a rum. I prefer the Flor De Cana 12 over this one.

Smooth spirit with a little wood but a smooth velvety texture

Jemná vůně karamelu, pražených oříšků, trocha vanilky. V chuti karamel, jemně vanilka a dřevo plus výraznější čokoláda. Takové to příjemné neutrální piti.

She's been my go-to for over 13yrs now both neat and mixed.
So many of my friends have come to love her as well. Very smooth.

Nothing special with this rum, but it’s well made enough to make people taste it to show them rum that does not taste like backwater.

The aroma is dominated by caramel, but there are hints of nuts, which are more pronounced in the taste. The "Sweetness" of the aroma would suggest a sweeter taste than it actually is, which is a positive surprise. Rather a mild burn; unfortunately the taste is relatively flat. It lacks the stunning (and surprising) finish that I have experienced when drinking the best rums (IMO).

naprosté zklamání
v prvotní chuti oříšky, ale chuť naprosto hrozná
delší doba ve skleničce pomůže chuti, ale zase zmizí vůně
první zkušenost s rumy FdC, ale na základě vzorku se nechystám v jejich objevování pokračovat
18 není doba zrání

One of my first sipping rums and I keep going back to it year after year--always have some tucked away in the back.
