This was my go-to for budget mixing rum for many years. Smooth flavor that goes great in coke or other mixers, and just couple dollars more than captain. I still get a bottle every once in a while, amazing rum for the price! It's acceptable on the rocks, but I feel it really shines as a mixer.

Very similar to other aged. Great with darl cola for an all night drink. Smooth with creamy Oak flavors.
Not as nice as the 12 or 18 but still a really nice rum on the rocks or with coke

Regular rum, no special magic found, but otherwise an average 7 year old rum.

Beautiful mahogany in color. Arrack, figs and sweet ethanol on the nose. Full-bodied, roasted almonds, coconut, warm ethanol, non-sweetened taste of dried tropical fruits. Very long lasting, turns into bourbon-notes in the end.

Vanilla and dried fruit on the nose, possibly raisins. Easy to drink with oaky vanilla notes and a dry finish, but somewhat bitter.

On the nose there is furniture polish, wood, nuts and a waft of citrus fruits, on the palate it is a bit simple spicy, nutty, with a grapefruit finish the aftertaste is prolonged, dry, spicy, with cocoa, citrus peels and pepper, and a slight alcoholic afterburn. No problem to drink neat, works quite well as a mixer. Zero sugar added, perfectly reasonable for the price (priced as a mixer, actually), but still lacking some kind of special trait which would nudge me to buy it again.

Starting into this there is a smooth mouth feel with medium throat burn. Sweetness is right where I like my sipping rum (no added sugar!). Pretty light flavors of dry carmel, vanilla, and oak followed by a medium length finish with pleasant aftertaste. It's not a complex one of a kind sipper, but still a good entry level sipping rum.

Many years ago when I first tried the Flor De Cana rums from Nicaragua, I was so impressed that I had decided to do side by side taste tests for their amber rums of age 4, 7, and 12 years. This 7-year is definitely worth only a few bucks more than the 4-year, but I could not tell the 7-year and 12-year apart at that time. All I concluded was that the 12-year was a rip off, so I rarely ever bought the 7-year again. I have always been impressed by it, but there was still that nagging thought of being duped by marketing on the extra aging.
Now that I am contributing my own rum reviews to this site, I picked up another 7-year bottle of this amber rum. It is smooth with no excessive sweetness and can be used as a budget sipper, served on the rocks, or as a mixer. Not many rums can boast credit for all three. It is basically inoffensive and well worth the fairly low price. It is not the finest sipper, but for the price, you can't beat it.
Now that I can appreciate this rum since it wound up in my top 30 list, most of this bottle still remains after several months. In the old days, the whole bottle would be gone in only a few days. It wound up in third place among my dark rum budget sippers behind El Dorado 8 and Don Q Anejo respectively. After bidding farewell to my first and final bottle of the over rated Mount Gay XO, this Flor De Cana 7 was a welcome pleasant surprise. Sad but true! This one is also much better than the over priced Flor de Cana 18.
