LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The whiskey drinker's rum. Because Flor de Caña adds no sugar post-distillation, it possesses a structural integrity and a dry, woody finish that will appeal to fans of high-end bourbon and single malts.

The Library Note

Founded in 1890, Flor de Caña is a fifth-generation family-owned brand. The volcanic soil of Chichigalpa and the high temperatures create a unique aging environment where the rum matures faster, reaching a level of depth and smoothness that has made it one of the most awarded rums in the world.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Rich and complex. Aromas of reddish-amber honey, toasted nuts, and a sophisticated vanilla-caramel sweetness.

THE PALATE

Semi-dry and full-bodied. Elegant notes of dark chocolate, nougat, and baked apple are balanced by a gentle volcanic spice.

THE FINISH

Long and remarkably smooth with a lingering hint of charred oak and vanilla.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Served neat or on a large rock. Its dry, refined character also makes it an excellent choice for a 'Rum Old Fashioned' using orange bitters and a touch of demerara syrup.
