Flor de Caña 18-Year

A good taste for straight up rum, but needs ice for better taste

This is some of the best rum that I have ever had. They also make a 25 year old rum that is better. This rum is fine by itself and is very smooth.

A bit of sweetness and too much alcohol was my first impression. Followed by.. Nothing. Aftertaste non existant.

Eye

Dark Brown, Amber, Golden

Nose
Kind of sweet (not so much as other rums), Smooth (can't smell any alcohol), woody, some honey, vanilla, chocolate, fruits.

Taste
so smooth, bit of sweet at the begin, bit bitter ending, definitive wood, vanilla, spicy, unctuous, dense, matted, delicious.

Very nice indeed; easy to drink neat.
smells of smoke and oak but balanced nicely.
Relatively inexpensive for an 18 year old.
If they had this in Ontario; I would drink it all the time.
But since I had to travel to Quebec to get it; it will probably be brought out just for special occasions.

Flor de Caña Centenario 18 års er lidt skarp i smagen.

Delicate and smooth, a crime to drink any way but neat. Please savour!

Je m'attendais a beaucoup mieux avec un 18 ans, peu de longueur en bouche.
le final est mieux que sur le 12 ans, mais quand même trop sec et "raide" pour moi.

superb rum really nice balanced nice and smooth rum

Repéré par les récompenses du festival de miami. Grosse déception. Robuste, même trop à mon goût. Les saveurs ont du mal à s'exprimer face a la force de l'alcool. Je n'en reprendrais pas.
