Fairly smooth with good floral nose and warm finish on the palate. Seems like I taste some oak and vanilla, but I could be wrong. Very decent sipping rum. It makes me want to try the 18 and 25 year versions.

Is this really rum? Or Burbon!?!??! Smells like burbon and the taste is burbon like too. This isnt ron that I expected. Its not ron for pirates... This is good for my mom:P

Tasty and smooth. However, not too much of taste. Sweetness of the molasses is not there compare to other rums I had such as Brugal Extra Viejo. Still, good smooth rum, and the price is reasonable. All in all I’d go for the El Dorado 12 all day long before I bought this again and the ElD is actually a few bucks cheaper .

One of the more mellow rums at this price point. Carmel flavored but not too sweat. A little bit of vanilla, oak and spice but nothing that overpowers. Solid sipper and great mixer.

Quite sweet with much going on afterwards. nice colour and aroma in the glass. Very enjoyable but no real wow factor for me, a notch below an el dorado 12yr. Great bottle though.
After discovering and enjoying Flor de Caña 7, the 12 years bottle was inevitably the next step. Maybe a little bit better but far from a new world. No placeholder for this one on my cabinet.
NB: I am not a specialist. It just happens that I like rum.

Enjoyable sipping rum but I've tasted better. Not as smooth as some 12 years I've had

This is a rum that was on my wish list a long time. In its price range it is an ok rum. Some ice or adding a little water smooths the taste. This rum makes me curious for the 18 years and 25 years old Flor de Cana. I am absolutely going to try these 2.

Wow, best value for money I experienced till now. Around 20€, super round, little oak, chocolate, leather, coco- & other nuts, long outflow. Everbody loves this rum. For me better than or at least equal to all those Don Papa or Botucal Reserva standards.

The price quality is great for this rum. Super smooth and rich in flavour. Great neat, in cocktails or as a mixer. Lovely caramel and chocolate notes.

The rum is overall unadulterated and honest, but there is some kind of strange herbal bitterness in the aftertaste, which got quite pronounced and annoying as I went through the bottle in a few weeks. Yes it is reasonably smooth, spicy, smoky and all that, but somehow it just missed it with me as a sipper. Maybe the first rum I would appreciate to actually have some sugar added. Good with coke.
