Flor de Caña 25 Años

Mocha with some sweetness. Quite woody and dry at the end which fits very well. Only 40% but still enough power and complexity, but the alcohol is not yet perfectly integrated.

Vcelku tradiční vůně sušeného ovoce, vanilky, sudu a kávovým nádechem. Chuťově podobně. Karamel, sušené ovoce, hlavně datle, trocha citrusů, káva a ještě pralinky v závěru. Přijatelně sladký, fajn rum pro rozjímání 😀

Boisé et caramel très dominants En bouche palette aromatique un peu faible Malgré tout très gourmand Longueur moyenne 25 ans ?!?!

Ich bin überrascht. 12, 15 ECO und 18 haben mir gar nicht bis wenig zugesagt, der 25er kann aber in Sachen Komplexität, Fruchtigkeit, angemessener Süße und gut eingebundenem Alkohol richtig punkten. Für den Preis findet man Besseres, qualitativ ist er aber sehr gut.

ŽELIV, 2.6.1023, Velet XXVI voni jemně po vanilce chutná lahodně, je jemný, hladký, příjemný závěr jemnounce simravy, dlouho trvajici

Velmi příjemný rum na pití, jen tak sklenku večer a nic neřešit…lehký nekomplikovaný rum, alkoholová chuť se úplně rozpustila, zbyla chuť po sudu, dřevo, med, sladkost..a po té je rum fuč…celkem krátký závěr a po něm nasládlost na patře. Cena je k diskusi, myslím, že v této ceně se najdou lepší/srovnatelné rumy, ale ochutnat a srovnat alespoň 12, 15 a hlavně 18 proti 25y je dobrý nápad. Navíc když 18 stojí polovinu, co 25.

This is a good example of a rumstyle I don't like. Lots of caramel/Toffee/sweetness...and thats it. No indication of age or interesting flavours or whatever. Not bad but boring. Drinkable but not exiting at all.

I find the rum is super balanced and round, tastes just great, brings many sweet notes with such as caramel, vanilla, chocolate and toffee. For me, a rum that I drink super happy.Nachtrag:Meanwhile, I find him no longer quite as great as half a year ago. Is probably also because that my taste has expanded greatly by tasting whacky bottlings.Addendum: photo

8:The nose gives off fine notes of oxidised fruit. The toasted wood and roasted nuts are quite dry and almost charcoal-like. The woodiness is also spicy and fragrant, like cedar wood. The maple syrup is both caramelised and woody, and then a little freshness comes in as a surprise. It seems to come from the coconut and its slightly milky water, which leads us towards something creamier like a vanilla crème brûlée or a butterscotch. 8:The palate is soft and quite balanced and tasty. The caramel is rich, leaning more towards its Breton version with salted butter. The molasses covers a wood that seems more fragile than on the nose, the cocoa and coffee remind us of an Irish Coffee=>Caribbean Coffee here🙂. 7:On the finish, coffee, liquorice and cocoa linger, with some vanilla at the end..

A rather expensive rum for its quality, rather good, but it lacks a lot of things, depth of flavour, length, a higher ABV. Can't convince me. Tasted again and it's better than I remember, but clearly lacks watts.

Nose: Harmonious, warm with aromas of coffee vanilla and toffee as well as wood.Palate: little of the harmony remained, quite alcoholic and long bitter, wood and tannins as well as slight sweetness.Finish: Middle course, bitter and spicy.Conclusion: For the age and also the price I would have liked more character and less sharpness or bitterness.

Retasting this one the other day. Still fruity and very sweet 😊

When I was still a fan of sweeter rums I would often find this one dry, bitter and heavy on wood notes without much complexity on offer. Now that I am accustomed to higher proof rums, with more complexity and low to zero dosage, this one just comes off sweet and simple. This begs the question - this rum is bound to leave a lot of people behind. I think there is a soft spot/niche for those that still like lower proof, easy-drinking rum but withou the cloying sweetness that often comes with it. I suppose, for them this would be a standout. Sadly, I spent a lot on this bottle but neither iteration of my rum journey fell into that definition and thus this one has always been destined to just be ok and badly overpriced. Live and learn - I guess the real lesson is that I should have gotten on Rum-X sooner 😏

On The Rocks: On the nose alcohol aroma with moderate fruit and floral notes with mild spices and oak. Taste has a stronger alcohol hit with pronouced fruit and floral notes with sweet undertones. Finish is short but sweet. Mixed Pepsi Zero: Mild Fruit aroma with sweetness. Taste is sweet yet slightly bitter making it confusing. Generally not overly enjoyable mixed.

bien laissé aéré sous peine de sentir et goûter l'alcool. apres aération une note agreable de café avec un leger boisé. on retrouve ces notes en bouche.
