Flor de Caña 12-Year

Up to the point of trying the FDC 12, my rum purchases had mostly been sweeter rums. So upon first taste, this tasted a bit thin and dry. Many positive reviews encouraged me to be patient, so I did and that patience was rewarded. I've come to enjoy this one and actually find myself thinking of bourbon occasionally as I sip. After having taken a breather from my sweeter rums to get acclimated with the FDC 12, I decided to try the Plantation XO again recently. I couldn't believe how sweet the Plantation tasted! Still love the Plantation but the two rums couldn't be more different. Variety is the spice of life!

Very smooth rum. I love the fact that the spice is just right. A little harder to find but definitely a must have.

A nice rum & Pepsi

Reasonably good, a bit thin, not the cleanest finish. But I'll gladly drink it! Doesn't beat my gold standard, El Dorado 15.

Really good, nice color, wonderful aroma and rich taste. Definitely worth having a bottle.

Very delicate taste.. It is not sweet rum. It has very noticeable oak taste

This is the rum I grew up on. I would recommend drinking neat or with a light mixer. This is smooth and on the sweeter side.

well, i love the chocolate taste and flavour. Also some almond and nuts. Decembers tasting top 5. good value for the price. Yet i would expect more complexity from 12yo. as to my notes - it misses some sweetness to have more points.
88/100

Very nice rum. Very smooth, tasteful. Lovely to drink on the rocks

Light copper color, sweet dry fruit and vanilla notes on the nose. Taste gives oak and spices, quite dry. Then turns to a nice burn/warmth to chest. Taste doesn't last that long.
Maybe not a keeper, but I'll revisit it once in a while.
