A top quality rum from the Nicaraguan producer, Flor de Caña. This is fine sipping rum, with flavours like toffee apple and buttery vanilla. We love it. We also love the fact that the distillery is certified carbon neutral and fair trade, using 100% renewable energy and offsetting any emissions through planting trees – a whopping 50,000 of them a year since 2005!
Hints of buttery toffee and cinnamon on the nose. This develops with notes of black pepper, gingerbread, and allspice.
The palate offers up rich notes of cooked apple and allspice. Hints of nutmeg, honey, and a little toffee brittle.
Toffee and custard on the finish. Long and decadent.
Sadly, this is a rather poor rum with little body or complexity. If anything, the finish is unpleasant. Not a patch on ED12! Difficult to believe it's 40% ABV.
It's not a strong rum I'd call it ok with a funny after tast almost one I'd expect with wheat used. Price for dink I'd have plantation rum any day
Lovely rum. Nice and smooth.
“I first tasted this while in Nicaragua this year, our guide bought us a bottle to have at dinner one night. Fell instantly in love with it - it is like no other rum you'll ever drink! Smooth and velvety, with none of the harshness I would normally expect from rum. I cannot recommend this enough - I just wish it cost the same over here as it does in the supermarkets in Nicaragua! Buy some - you won't be sorry...”

Interestingly I get the same taste as the previous reviewer. Grassy, earthy almost like a rotten compost bin. I’m honestly wondering if it’s a bad bottle??
Brought for my birthday as like sipping rums but the taste it notes above is not what I'm getting! Rather an earthy musty taste
