Flor de Caña 18-Year

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!

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.

Much better than the 12 yr. Make sure you let it sit about 25-30 minutes. I know it’s hard to do, but it is remarkably better if it breathes for a while. Excellent flavor and quite smooth.

Shot at bar.

Nicely balanced sweetness with a good amount of spice and oak. Very good sip. Unfortunately the finish is rather short. I'd say above average at this price.

Its good, despite being fairly hot. The alcohol burn is strong with this one. Mind you I am not an experienced taster. I like the flavors, however subtle. Woody, grassy, and maybe a hint of molasses on the after taste. I wanted to try after I read multiple reviews of people claiming it has a buttery note, but I did not find that sadly. I would rate higher if not for the burn. A nice sipper when I do not feel like pouring something more pricey. I think more ice, and a lime would suit this one quite nicely.
