This rum was well liked by several in our group. But I must confess it was not my favorite of all we have tried in the last 6 months. There is not much left in the bottle, so proof enough it was enjoyed.

Ce rhum est riche d'arômes, complexe, sec et corsé avec des notes de chocolat noir, de caramel, de noix grillées et d’épices.

This is a fairly good rum. You can drink it without a problem and its get better if you let it breath 10-15 min. before you drink it.

C est un bon rhum sucre avec des notes de tabac de cuir sur un fond vanille.mais pour moi il manque de puissance et un peu plus de complexite.un bon rapport qualite prix toutefois.pour 36 e il vaut le coup.note 7.9.

But not the greatness I was hoping for. Is a little rougher than expected for an 18 year old Rum.

Un rom mai simplu dar aromat. Fara pretentii in gama de pret in care se incadreaza corect. Ar putea fi o alegere buna pentru incepatori. On the rocks sau mix.

For an 18 year old rum, I was expecting more. I like my rum neat, and well... although I have just got into my first bottle... it is not something I'm going goo goo for. It's is ok out of the gate... goes down with a bit too much burn for it's age and doesn't finish all that well... for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to give it away... but when it's done, I won't be rushing out to get stocked up. I'll be fair, give it time and change my review if it grows on me. For now, a solid 6.

Make no mistake, this is an excellent rum but rarely do I find an 18 year old rum that I don't prefer as a sipper or just with an ice cube. Flor de Cana 18 year old rum is not a solera method and that makes it distinctive. It's a beautiful golden color. It is dry and not sweet. It leans a little toward the bourbon side, just a little. For this reason and a very strong alcohol aroma I couldn't enjoy this as a sipper. I mixed it with a bit of seltzer water and a couple of ice cubes. Then I found it delicious. The oak is the distinctive taste with vanilla also present. The flavors are not strong. It has very subtle flavors. This maybe because I mixed it but drinking it neat all I could taste was oak and smell strong alcohol. I did try letting it sit and breath. To be clear, I really did enjoy drinking this but only after watering it down a bit. I think there are better rums for $50 BUT if somebody gave me a bottle of Flor de Cana as a gift, I would receive it enthusiastically.

Very nice color. Mild nose with sweet essence. Very smooth taste with very little burn and nice soft finish. Very enjoyable - I would definitely buy this again.

Het merk Flor de Cana heft een reputatie hoog te houden met haar producten, kwaliteit is iets wat men verwacht van het merk en met deze 18 Year Old editie wordt niemand, misschien de concurrentie, teleur gesteld.
Een donkere en rijke rum met mooie rode tinten erdoorheen en een prettig aroma van leer en rook vullen de kamer bij opening. Subtiele hints van nootmuskaat, piment en hazelnoot zijn subliem gemixt in de karamelachtige smaak, een waar meesterwerk wat betreft uitbalancering van de ingrediënten.
De smaak is vrij droog met een duidelijke aanwezigheid van het eikenhout met hier en daar een vleugje van kruiden en karamel. De afdronk is glad en blijft niet te lang hangen, zoals ze dat in het Engels mooi zeggen heeft deze rum een “clean exit”.
Geschiedenis
In het oosten van Guatemala, 751ft boven de zeespiegel, ligt het stadje Zacapa.
Opgericht in 1876 als een bruisende spoorweg stopt, de bevolking werd al snel gezelschap gehouden van reizigers uit de hele wereld, nagelaten erfenissen zijn nog steeds te zien in de lokale familienamen.
In 1976, bereikte de stad zijn honderdjarig bestaan. Om deze historische gebeurtenis te vieren, Guatemala’s premier-rum producerende bedrijf besloot om iets speciaals te produceren. Bij het benutten van deskundige kennis die is opgedaan gedurende vele jaren, werd een unieke rum geproduceerd: Ron Zacapa Centenario.
