Flor de Caña 18-Year

Butterscotch Rum .. very smooth
Need to rest for some minutes before sipping
Dried citric fruits in the nose than oak and leather
Medium to short finish
Very good and elegant Rum

Don't get me wrong, it is a fine aged rum and if you do not like too much oak this is your guy. But then you should ask yourself: isn't it strange that this rum claims to be 18 years old and it is so light? Maybe not so honest. Also I did prefer it's younger brother the 12.

Bonus: they do care about sustainability and I hope more rum producers see them as an example.

Добър ром, но не и отличен. Липсва му дълбочината и характера на тези 18 години.

Gorgeous! What a beauty. For a few dollars more than the 12yr, spend it and enjoy a rich, complex and flavoursome tipple that has just the right amount of sweetness and nice long finish. I do wish it was a higher abv% but so be it.

Bottiglia: voto 8.
Veramente bella e piacevole da impugnare.
Naso: voto 8.
Il sentore alcoolico è coperto da un profumo piuttosto inteso, dolce e molto piacevole. Ricorda Zacapa 23.
Palato: voto 7.
Seppur piacevole, trovo questo rum meno complesso e meno carico di sapori di altri rum di pari livello. Per avere 18 anni di invecchiamento troppo sapore alcoolico e meno sapore di botte, resina o frutta.
Sento appena sapore di ciliegie. Lo trovo troppo semplice.
Persistenza: voto 7.
Nella media.
Per 58 euro, pagato a Monaco, si può trovare di meglio, come Admiral Rodney Royal Oak, o Mount Gay XO Triple Cask.
Peró la bottiglia è cool.

Con este Ron, comence mi travesía por el mundo del Ron en las Rocas! Una belleza q me introdujo a este hermoso mundo!

My friend and I buy mostly Burbons and Scotches and enjoy tasting them. We found a place to buy FdC 5 yr 1.75ml for $25+tax. we have been buying them for years now and decided to branch out and try the 18yr because the 25 yr was a little out of our budget for 2 SS people. the 18yr was so impressive we decided to jump at the oppertunity to try the 25yr after the supplier said that they will sell us 2 of the 25yrs for $2 more per bottle. we havent recieved it yet but are sooooo looking forward to trying it. I gave this a 7 because I have to start somewhere.

Fuerte en boca. De ese precio se puede conseguir rones mucho mejores

Nose: Some fresh sugar cane, but not too much. And some oak.
Palate: Slightly oaky and sharp. A bit flat and simplistic for this age.
7,4

Rather disappointed considering the age. For an 18-year-old, the taste is empty. The bottle has been standing half-open for a long time, and the hand does rather not tend to grab it. I'm between 6 and 7, but since it's a little better than 12 year old Cana, let it be 7.
