Flor de Caña 7 Años Gran Reserva

My brother had never tried the bottle on the shelf, so please. The nose is still the best here, with a good hint of cognac. On the palate mainly rum raisin and somewhat thin taste. Certainly usable for a rum cola.

6:On the nose it is rather well-balanced and fruity, with a light banana note that wafts over ethereal notes. It's relatively consistent, with notes faithful to this category of light molasses rums: vanilla, nuts, caramel.It's not overly full-bodied and holds up well over time. Aeration develops the roasted nuts, and this roasted side opens up to coffee. The rum has gained in darkness and bite. We retain the idea of a light rum, which has drawn all it can from the toastiness of the barrel. 5,9:On the palate, the attack is in tune with the nose, so light, it passes stealthily by, dancing on the taste buds with its ethereal quality. Nuts and wood remain suspended, never settling in. 5,7:The finish is light, with toasty wood and a few roasted spices lingering for a few moments..

Pure not so mine, nice nose but too sharp in taste. To mix but a cheap and good rum

Notes from 25.04.2018: Travel souvenir from a good friend that was opened directly. Fruit and vanilla on the nose, then sweet in the mouth with some fruit and a clear alcohol note. Pure well in the cola then it goes.

The only rum at the Christmas market that you could get at the Nicaragua stand. I had it in cocoa and grog as an update. It works there. Probably not so good neat.

I bought this bottle a few years ago in Nicaragua, the country of origin. There the rum was only bottled at 37%. At that time the go-to rum for cola rum, or the 4 year old. Quite alcoholic but quite good when mixed.

Reconstructed from a note:For pure enjoyment only limitedly recommended. In the nose mainly wood, some vanilla, spice and clear alcohol. A lot of power, little depth. In the mouth, the impression is confirmed: not a sweet, rather a strong, spicy rum.In the cocktail, for what I bought it, it remains despite only 40% still present, shows its dark, spicy flavors and is happy about lime or grapefruit, harmonizes well with Cherry Brandy or Falernum, without making the liqueurs invisible.

Budget sipper

Noch dünner und nichtssagender als seine älteren Brüder. Abgang nicht existent. Selbst für Cocktails nicht zu empfehlen, da viel zu schwachbrüstig und ausdrucksschwach.

A subtle nose. Vanilla and hazelnut are most present with a little wood. Sometimes floral in the background. The palate keeps the hazelnuts from the nose. The vanilla is more subtle on the palate. Alcohol quite sharp. Finish is short. The hazelnuts hang around for at least a few seconds. A little sharp and beyond that somewhat boring. Not one I'd buy.

Fairly complex column still rum. Good flavors. Spicy nuttiness. Nice finish. Ok nose. From memory not a lot more enjoyable than the four year, but a bit more complex on the flavors.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

4 und 5 Jahre besser

Spice much more prominent than 5yo, not as smooth as 5 too, still perfectly nice and worked well mixed.

A dry rum, not overly sweet with a woodyness and notes of caramel of spice. A tad bit harsh. Not a bad sipper for the price but certainly not my first choice.
