Flor de Caña 12-Year

This is a good leg up from the 7 year and while both are good this is definitely the better rum. Like it's younger sibling, it still has a small amount of bite (minimal burn) but overall, it's just a better rum. It's not very expensive but for equal or less money, I can get Appleton 12 year, which I prefer more but this is nevertheless, damn good stuff. Fairly dry and complex and worth buying at least once. You won't regret it!

Semi sweet.. Taste of cherry, vanilla, caramell, wood..

Being my first aged rum, I was impressed by the quality and complexity of the flavour. Although I lack a basis of comparison, I enjoyed this rum very much.

Aperitif. Rhum très délicat au parfum léger, peut être un peu de chocolat au retour.

Quite mellow taste, doesn't have the complexity I usually prefer.

Tasty rum which I personally drink dry. The final note sounds like something sweet or maybe vanilla to me.

Goeie rum, fantastische afdronk.. voor niet te veel geld

Tasty rum, good for bourbon fans because of the oakiness

This is a very good Rum, but not great. It is not to sweet as I expected, but it it is very smooth. You can taste the oak flavors for sure.
It is a rum to sipped slowly, not to drink right away. Ok Rum….. but I need more flavors and uniqueness in a great RUM…

I've seen this stuff as cheap as $35. I think it is a decent deal. I compared this next to El Dorado 12 in the same sitting. 1oz, 2 cubes, swirl and slowly sip. The Flor de Cana is a little more subtle. A bit fruity, and perhaps vanilla, or bubble gum-like. The El Dorado 12 was much more robust with oak and spice with dark sugar. While sipping the Flor de Cana it was reminding me of one of my favorite sippers, which is Kaniche XO and Kaniche Perfeccion. This Flor de Cana is like a less sweet/unsweetened version of Kaniche. As I said in the title everything about this rum in subtle, nothing stands out on its own, but its decent. For the money I may buy again, but doesn't top Kaniche XO as my best sipping rum for the money.
