Flor de Caña 12-Year

Solid smooth 12 year room. Nothing new or surprising but the feel is quite premium while tasting this Niqaruagan beauty 🙂

Toto je prvý naozajstný rum, ktorý ako darček ma uviedol do sveta objavovania. Po 3 rokoch mu ostávam stále verný. Trochu liehový ale rovná, príjemná chuť. Nič v nom netrčí, je to rum na každú príležitosť. Ak si uvedomíte ze je bez pridaného cukru, zaslúžil by si oveľa väčšie hodnotenie.

Přes své stáří 12 let je rum v ocasu příjemně ostrý. V chuti a vůni výrazné dřevo s trochou vanilky. Další z řady nedoslazovaných rumů, kde vám cukr zbytečně nezakryje ostatní chutě, které nabízí tento kvalitní rum. K dobrému hodnocení přispívá i příjemná cena.

It is okay. Nothing near the 130th anniversary of course. Decent, respectable, no-nonsense rum, yet it lacks a bold profile and a unique pallette. Was expecting something more out of it, with the reputation of Flor de Cana and whatnot, something much more memorable. I wonder if i should try their 18 or 25, next! This is a brand i can respect.

Barely noticeable flavors of caramel and vanilla. Plus some oak.
Watery as hell, even after a month being open. Guess I'll let it breathe some more.

I tried the Flor de Cana 7 year not long ago and was not very impressed and my first impression of this 12 year was also not so good. But after adding ice and getting about 1/4 of the way through the bottle (not at one time) I am absolutely not disappointed. The trick was putting it on the rocks. It really mellowed and smoothed itself out after adding some ice. Not overly sweet but definite vanilla and caramel taste and with ice the harshness was cut down considerably. I have had room temperature bottom shelf vodkas that were not as harsh as this was neat. But on the rocks this rum is well balanced and the price point was also right well under $40.

I cannot recommend this rum. It's a bit boring, no complex, no evolution. I can't find the balance in the mouth and nose of a 12-year-old rum. The aftertaste of it is short and alcoholic, I was happy to finish the bottle

You can honestly find much better rums for this price.

was an ok rum won't blow u away but not much burn but worth buying to try

This rum has a lot of caramel taste/smell with a smooth and sweet finish.

Very rich rum, dark tones in noise and palate. Complex but not overdone. Very good mixer for me, but also on the rox
