Flor de Caña 18-Year

A bit of sweetness and too much alcohol was my first impression. Followed by.. Nothing. Aftertaste non existant.

An okay sipping rum as long as you let it breathe. Not the best flavor at first but decent vanilla, oak and toffee flavors aftertaste and finish.

I was expecting more from this rum, since I've tried the 4 and 7 years, but it has a repulsive taste. I only drink straight and aged spirits. To make my point, Zacapa XO is too sweet, this Flor de Cana 18 is too oaky and bitter; El Dorado 12, 15 or 21 all have a more balanced flavor, aroma and color.

Trochu ostrejsi, hezky voni, neni plny a citim ostrost cena 115.

After buying this.... and being so excited to come back home and taste with my Dad and my wife...
We tried Neat.. . YUCK
we tried on ice... YUCK
we tried to return it to the store... SUCCESS

For a 18yrs old claim, there are plenty other 10-12-15yrs old better quality and fairly priced.

Tasted side by side with an independent release of a single-cask from the same distillery bottled cask-strength with no additives. 18 year distillery release is watered back to 40% abv, obviously colored with caramel and likely sweetened. Juice is disjointed with the alcohol not well-integrated and a linear, slightly spicy profile with a short finish. You get what you pay for I guess. Blackadder bottling by contrast was complex and well integrated despite its 60+% abv. Shows that the distillery can make good rum, but the 18 year old I can barely give away.

I don't know if I have an off bottle but this is the most disappointing rum I've had. Bland, lacking any real flavor or character.

Faller inte alls mig på läppen obetydlig sötma ren spitsmak o inte alls behaglig att dricka

Nice artwork and bottle..
In the nose was somehow ok, maybe a litlle -simple- alcoholic.
Taste was very poor for an 18 years. Nothing complex at all. Just a dry rum with maybe some wood.
Ending and aftertaste was a disaster. Watery and not lasting.
I tried shipped, on the rocks, with water and even with juice, but nothing was something mentionable... :/
Surely overpriced.
If it was labeled as a "vodka rum" around 20 euros will be just ok, but there are far more better options to put your money..
