Flor de Caña 12-Year

Not having tried any Flor de Caña rums before this, i didn't really know what to expect but what i got was a nice sweet and fresh rum with different tastes depending on served neat or on the rocks.

Typically, I value a low-to-medium range rum's applicability in cocktails in assessing its value. This Nicaraguan concoction isn't much to sneeze at when you mix it with citrus and syrups. However, there is something so charming about its mellow gifts on the tongue. As if the island was paying its respect to bourbon, comfy notes of vanilla, toffee, and mild oakiness coddle your taste-buds like a loving mother. When I want to relax or if I'm in the right mood, few things are as welcoming and satisfying as this bottle.

Flor de Cana 12yo is the perfect transitional rum for those looking for a higher end aged rum without wanting to jump right to the expensive stuff. Not sweet, yet delicate and powerful all in one. Definitely recommend.

Nice rum that has a good balance of natural sweetness and aging. Not as complex as other rums and comes with a burn that isn't as subdued as I wouldve liked compared to others. I would recommend this with a cube or granite stone.

Not too sweet, very rich with caramel and oak notes, mahagony color.

Drank at 4th anniversary of Vesna.

A nice taste of vanilla, but a lingering aftertaste of hand sanitizer. Not my favourite.

Woody and hints of raisins, very nice and not too sweet, good balance

this rum is good but i feel too much alcohol in the nose, ok no sugar added and good price too, i have the 18 and 25 and they are much better !

The massive oak barrel aging sheds have sprinklers in the rafters keeping everything dripping wet. The on site gift shop is 30% cheaper than the local stores. This is a 3rd world country cranking out good Rum. I did the tour in 2017, brought home the legal limit.

It's ok, and there's nothing particularly wrong with it, but a relative lack of spice or any differentiating standout notes makes me want something else at this price point.
