Flor de Caña 12-Year

Very nice and easily accessible sipper. Good at the price point and the environmental commitment of the company is laudable.

Smells good and tastes good. Air it out a little and it's good

It was nice but not as nice as expected ,,, i will be trying it with orange peel to see if that helps

The nose is quite harsh (especially immediately after decanting) - almost like pencil sharpenings soaked in ethanol.
By comparison, the taste is smooth and pleasant, with a prominent creamy butterscotch flavour that is more dry than sweet. I would expect far more depth and a longer finish from a 12-year-old rum though.
While most rums of this age would make a decent mixer, if you can justify mixing a rum in that price bracket, Flor de Caña 12-Year simply doesn't have enough character to punch through. Even ignoring the price difference, I'd much rather use a younger (and cheaper) rum that adds more flavour.

I prefer to drink Dark Rums with Root Beer. Barqs has caffeine, if I want it. The others don’t, if I don’t. This pairs fantastically with Root Beer, and that’s what I like. It’s pretty cheap for a decent rum, at around $32. I like their 18 year—but cannot justify the extra money, when this is so good. I am not the biggest on their 7 year; I think this 12 year is just right.

Wonderfull sipper. Must try for everyone rum lover

Very good, somewhat simple but totally pleasant. Definitely sippable.

Had this on an Iberia flight from Madrid to Lima. The taste was very well balanced. I would try this again to pick up the exact notes. I recall honey and milk chocolate.

Smell caramel, vanilla, wood, clove and sweet.
Taste wood, clove and sugar, but it doesnt have sugar

Nothing special about it, the alcohol is surprisingly present. I would not drink this neat.
