Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7-Year

Very nice mixer rum £23 online at Amazon next day comparable to havana club 7. Not a sipper by a long shot but makes a wonderful rim and coke or dark and stormy

This rum is nice and will work, but if you can get the older rums from Flor de Cana

Sweet and smooth for an entry sipping rum but not too sweet to have with a splash of cola. The best at this price point.

N- Muddy and earthiness that carries the drifting scents of sea soaked mushy wood log, distant bonfire with mineral and brine, dehydrated pineapple and apple. Unique identity does come thru at bsic abv. (20/25)

P- Liquorice and cola mix. Exotic sour mango with dried apricot, apple and sweet wood smokes, burnt cinnamon, caramel emerged with more cola. (20/25)

F- Medium-long, semi dry with charred wood and fruits in balanced. Tinge of spiciness for a warming finish. (20/25)

Balanced:- Reasonably complex and surely can be better and broader if at higher abv. Just manage to float on a thin line at 40%. (19/25)

Weighted Rate:- 79pt

Guter Rum zum Mixen. Sehr trocken. Auf gar keinen Fall zum Pur trinken.

Prima rum om te drinken met ijs, goede prijs kwaliteit.

Its subtly complex and certainly dry, with a dusty oak presence and a bit of a soured finish. As with the younger expressions, I like it best with fruit juices.

Tasty everyday mixer rum. Not too costly. Pretty decent availability.

Very good bargain for the price. Smooth, excellent mixed in a Cuba Libre.

While I found this to be a bit rugged neat, a few drops of water added new dimensions for me. Overall, though, pretty bland and unremarkable like most of Flor de Cana's offerings.
