A beautiful nose where the wood is most noticeable in the beautiful vanilla, no marked bitterness here, despite long tropical aging. The finish in cognac casks adds elegance. Some fruit, but rather dry, and caramel. The palate is marked by alcohol, though not dominant. Here too, cognac adds interesting aromas. The finish is moderately long, with lovely, gently fading aromas. The best Flor de Cana I've ever had in my glass, but not, for my taste, worth the price it's sold for.
Flor de Caña doesn't have the best image, and this old vintage tries to change that. The nose remains fairly conventional, with caramel, woody notes crossed with light spices, slightly roasted and chocolatey notes, and a slightly Cognac-like edge that tugs at the raisin. A slightly drier profile than usual, but quite simple. On the palate, there's brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, chocolate and toasty oak. The syrupy texture accentuates this gourmand side and the feeling of having a ron in the glass. Cognac and dried fruit are still present. The profile is not bad, but remains fairly flat despite the cognac twist. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is where the shortcomings are most apparent: short, thin and timid, the aromas struggle to go beyond caramel, vanilla spices, wood and dried fruit (which are barely recognizable). We have every right to expect much more from this cuvée, especially for its exorbitant price.
Leicht würzige Nase mit süße von Karamell. Im Geschmack sehr leicht und vor allem süß. Im Hintergrund getrocknete Früchte. Im Abgang geht die Feuchtigkeit verloren und es ist eigentlich nur noch dünn und süß. Alkohol ist aber perfekt eingebunden, was bei den niedrigen ABV auch erwartbar ist.
Sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen Vanille, Rooooooosinen, Holz. Am Gaumen paart sich dann noch Schokolade dazu. Das Cognac finish gibt ihm definitiv noch eine gute Fruchtigkeit dazu. Lässt sich auf jeden Fall genießen.
