Flor de Caña 18-Year

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

Interesting, first poured out and had a lovely grapefruit scent. Left to stand for a short time and the aroma changed to a spirit lacking direction.
Sip is not strong in the mouth and does not burn in the throat. Flavour does not last and a bit weak.

Hell and the Devil! This be an outstandin' sipper - and that be comin' from havin' the 12-year at some point! On the nose, she be nowhere near as harsh as her 12 year-old sister, but what you do smell is CLEAN... pure and clean with oak, caramel, brown sugar, a bit of spice, and a hint of the tropics on a beautiful day. Sweet, but not too much. Enough to be invitin'! Goin' down the hatch, she be SMOOTH with a tiniest of burn, but not nothin' another shot couldn't fix. She be the perfect balance of sweet and dry with oak comin' thru, some caramel, and a bit of spice. If you be one of those sweet-toothed biscuit-eatin' land lubbers, this may not be the rum for you! But for us grown-up pirates, this be exactly the type of action you'd be expectin' from an 18 year-old. Hide this one from the crew, lads. She be a keeper! arrgh!

I would not have much to complain about if this was sold as an 8-year-old rum, maybe 10. But the number 18 has absolutely nothing to do with the contents of the bottle. The taste is fine but they should stop lying about the age of the rum. Omitting the word "years" from the bottle does not make it any better.

Rum is not bad for lovers of dry rum. There is no added sugar and this makes it a little flatter for me personally. Nice rum, but for this price I would buy something more memorable.

Yes its a bit blunt at some points and kind of empty finish, maybe consider a peel of orange, overall a pleasing rum. No adds, good barrels, good price what else do you need?

Let me preface this with dating that the aftertaste is brilliant, it is smooth, rich and lingers long
But to get there you get a very harsh alcohol taste first. It does get better when it sits for a while but I expected more from a premium rum.

Woody, cask vanilla, dry, alot of alcohol aftertaste! An enjoyable sipper. Very typical Flor De Cana!
