I was walking through the E terminal of the Atlanta airport and they were offering samples.

This is a ice smooth dipping rum

Tasted side by side with an independent release of a single-cask from the same distillery bottled cask-strength with no additives. 18 year distillery release is watered back to 40% abv, obviously colored with caramel and likely sweetened. Juice is disjointed with the alcohol not well-integrated and a linear, slightly spicy profile with a short finish. You get what you pay for I guess. Blackadder bottling by contrast was complex and well integrated despite its 60+% abv. Shows that the distillery can make good rum, but the 18 year old I can barely give away.

A great rum has a flavour that A: agrees with your palate and B: isn't found in any other rum. FdC 18 (and it's little brother the FdC 7) has that quintessential delicate warm nutty-butterscotch-caramel FdC undertone which I've always loved. I could easily pick it out of any line up while blindfolded. If you are a fan of the FdC 7, you'll definitely like this one (The FdC 12 is a different beast with a different flavour profile). It's dissapointing to me how many reviewers here favour some heavily sugared rums over a more honest, more adult drink like FdC 18, but to each his own, I guess. A final note: yes, the FdC 25 is slightly better but it is also almost 3x (!) as expensive. So this is the one that's always on my shelve.

Flor de Cana are interesting rums in the fact they get worse the older they are. The extra dry is amazing for a white rum being super smooth and well bodied. Now something interesting happens as flor ages. It becomes harsher and more abusive to your pallet. Why or how I don't know but this rum isn't that good. There is nothing really eventful about it. Straight it shows to be just another one of those super dry oakey earthy rums that scolds your tongue with heat. In diet coke it is pretty good, it's not a bad rum per say it's just well not worth the price. If you enjoy this taste try Kirk and Sweeney, Mount Gay or any of the Ron Abuelo's. Those share similar tastes but exceed fdc-18. So final verdict is flor de Cana bad? No not really, but it's kind of generic earthy taste with a high price tag so if you're in the market for something exotic and different tasting this isn't your bottle.

ottimo rum con spiccati sentori di legno e caramello che però no da quella sensazione di zucchero percepita in altri rum tipo lo zacapa

Good flavor. Not overly sweet. Flavor leans toward the oaky side.

Bevo Rum da qualche anno e, soprattutto all'inizio, preferico di gran lunga i Rum di tipologia spagnola.
Beh, adesso posso dire che c'e' un prima del Flor de Cana 18 ed un dopo.
Prima come detto preferivo l'altra tipologia di Rum, poi con il FDC 18 e' stato amore al primo bicchiare.
Colore decisamente ambrato, al naso ha sentori alcolici mischiati alla cioccolata, nel palato ha un iniziale gusto tendenzialmente secco con cioccolata e la dolcezza del caramello, il gusto di cioccolata rimane ma ha un sentore affumicato.
Io lo adoro!

25 year is one of the most expensive rum. I think I will not buy it. But Flor de Caña 18 is a very good rum at a good price for a premium.

Es un ron añejo que se disfruta más con coca-cola. Con el añejamiento no logra perder el sabor fuerte del alcohol pero al mismo tiempo se aprecian sabores a madera. Es un ron seco.
