Flor de Caña 18-Year

This is a very good rum with a caramel smell and taste. A slight vanilla taste too. Very smooth and slow finish. It is an excellent rum but it is also very similar to the 12 year old version. It is smoother than the 12 year but not by much.

Based on the reviews here, I went to try this one. The expectation was great. The smell is pleasant and smooth. Alhocol is not smelled, but also no specific flavour. The taste was dry, a bit of cocoa butter and oak wood. No more flavour were recognized wich is a bit of shame. For 18 year rum I would expect more. Maybe just not my cup of rum.

Buen ejemplar de la familia, vale la diferencia con el 12 y se disfruta su sabor con buen cuerpo pero aún así tiene mejor aroma que sabor

Nose: Caramel and oak. Harsh for a 40%
Palate: Oak, caramel
Finish: Same thing, and somewhat fiery tail

Overall it tastes good, but isn’t nearly as complex as it should be for its price point and age. It is an old, boring rum, though I suppose it is good at being old and boring.

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 8/29/18. A milder, sweeter version of the 12 year. A bit peppery, but the finish is not nice- harsh in fact. Stick with the better 12 year.

Good sipping rum. Not too sweet, reasonably smooth.

Buen ron para pasar un momento agradable en compañia.

Not sure why the 7yr is sooo good but the older ones just have too much alcohol burn.

This rum isn't too bad at all.

Oak, tobacco and lighter elements of caramel and vanilla all come to mind. Strong fumes off the glass, this stuff will put hairs on your chest just like the 25 year old.

Not too bad although for the price I reckon its better going for something different. 7 out of 10 range seems fair.

Whilst being more pricey I didn’t find it significantly better than Gran Reserva or other Flor bottles. Still, a solid choice for a drink
