Flor de Caña 12-Year

Wonderfull sipper. Must try for everyone rum lover

Very good, somewhat simple but totally pleasant. Definitely sippable.

Had this on an Iberia flight from Madrid to Lima. The taste was very well balanced. I would try this again to pick up the exact notes. I recall honey and milk chocolate.

Smell caramel, vanilla, wood, clove and sweet.
Taste wood, clove and sugar, but it doesnt have sugar

Nothing special about it, the alcohol is surprisingly present. I would not drink this neat.

Tried this at a friend's for which I was grateful, ax I haven't tried many South American rums.
Typical Spanish style flavours.
Not much smell, faint brown sugar.
Taste is pretty simple and smooth to start. Brown sugar and oak with a sliht touch of leather. The finish is pretty sharp though. There's a definite bite about it and bizarrely a touch of sweetness comes through at the same time.
Overall, this was much less distinct than Cuban rums. It lacks the tobacco vibe. It's very drinkable but pretty bland at the same time. I would go for Havana Club 7 most of the time.

Aangename, gerijpte geur. Droog, zacht, erg kruidig, iets weeïg, de eerste aanzet heeft veel smaak, maar mist daarna structuur en concentratie. Vanille, zoethout, rooibosthee, kandij, melasse.
Intens, matige balans, weinig gelaagd.

The first time I bought this, I didn't really know what I was doing, but the bottle looked super cool and every mix was incredible. This might've been the rum that made me realize that stepping up from the bottom shelf really was worth it, opening me up to this entire world.

Got another bottle recently to try it as a sipper. It can be had for the equivalent of a little under $30 where I live. Lovely caramel color, has a balanced scent straight out of the bottle, doesn't need to open up too much. Has a bit of caramel taste to it, but without being super sweet (if that makes any sense), balanced with vanilla and what I think is oak.

Basically it just comes across as an honest, no extra sweeteners added rum that I hold up there amongst my favorites.

For 12YO rum I'd expect more smooth taste. Little to harsh for my palate.

I was at a rum tasting, so don't remember so much. Meh
