Up to the point of trying the FDC 12, my rum purchases had mostly been sweeter rums. So upon first taste, this tasted a bit thin and dry. Many positive reviews encouraged me to be patient, so I did and that patience was rewarded. I've come to enjoy this one and actually find myself thinking of bourbon occasionally as I sip. After having taken a breather from my sweeter rums to get acclimated with the FDC 12, I decided to try the Plantation XO again recently. I couldn't believe how sweet the Plantation tasted! Still love the Plantation but the two rums couldn't be more different. Variety is the spice of life!

Not a bad rum if you like whisky, but not for me ultimately. The good: cheap, some character up front, smooth finish. The bad: not much in the way of flavor, at least not for a 12. Defenders will say it's subtle, but I'd say too much so. Also, I found it is oddly similar in taste to Don Q Anejo, not sure why this is, but it is.
First tried this Rum recently and loved it. First few were with Coke but with the 12 and 18 year old, they are perfect straight up

I like rums I can drink neat or on the rocks.
This one is not one I would recommend for this occasion. It is not smooth, is too sweet, and the flavor is not complex.
I like to drink rum after a pipe. This is my first sip, and either I does not mix well with the tobacco I chose for tonight, or it is not that good for any occasion. As of right now, I deem it mildly interesting and not one I plan to return to.
I may change my mind sometime later.
It certainly lives up to its name, having a floral flavor.

A rum that you feel in your chest, in a good way. Yes, young FdC do taste like nothing, it's known, but they only get better with age.

I've been calling it Flora de Cana this entire time. Nice rum, though.

This rum would qualify as a “true” premium rum, but there are a lot of them that are better. I tried this on a recommendation from Total Wine. Got it home and was disappointed. It could not stand side-by-side with my favorite rums.
