Flor de Caña 12-Year

I enjoyed my bottle of Flor de Cana, I had heard of it, but never thought to try it until someone gave me a bottle as a present. I must admit, it tastes very palatable. You can smell a hint of whiskey from the barrels it has aged in, but not overpowering, it is easy to drink straight, but I preferred it with a splash of peppermint.
Definitely a rum I am happy to have in my cabinet.

I enjoyed the Flor de Caña 12 even better than the 18 when tasted side by side. The 12 is not a funky rum, but is full of delicate spice, wood, and vanilla caramel. Though somewhat sweet the dryness balances and keeps you wanting another sip.

On the rocks, easy drinking was smooth mellow end to night.

The white rum of flor de caña is a great mixer. The 12 year old is served in many Latin American establishments as one of their better rums.
The nose suggests plenty of wood, a sip gives the flavour of toffee, when swallowing a hint of banana and caramel comes up before it changes into an oaky charcoal. It's like drinking it straight out of the barrel. The rum is not complex, an easy sip but it doesn't blow your mind. At the price it's an absolute steal for a 12 year old rum.

Ok to have on it’s own, but isn’t that polished that would make you drink it more than one glass. Nice Flor De Cana flavour, some oak, some booze on the palate. Nothing artificial comes out, which is good

Perfectly delicate taste. Light not to complex but hits the spot

If not the Eco 15, this is in my bar. A great story behind this brand and this bottle is a strong workhorse in my bar from sipping to cocktails. A bit raunchy in the best way but quickly turns into its best possible self to make the best of any occasion. Bottle has a strong presence on the bar and is easily recognized and asked for vs other similar rated bottles.

Great rum for making strong Cuba Libres. Has a nice flavor and is pretty smooth.

Fair rum, quite well-balanced and not very sweet with strong oak flavour.

I’d recommend this with ginger beer, naturally sweet, smooth
