Flor de Caña Centenario 18 Años

OK, but nothing special! The best with it is that it’s not as sweet as many Spanish styled rum.

Very simple, one-dimensional profile. Good mixture of sweetness and dryness, but in general barrel-dominated. Lacks intensity and the vodka note at the end ruined the experience 😞

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

Würde gerne eine bessere Bewertung abgeben, da Nicaragua wirklich ein tolles, völlig unterschätztes Reiseziel ist. Leider ist dieser Rum jedoch völlig eindimensional und uninteressant, dazu fehlt es an der nötigen Intensität. Einzig der gefühlt geringe Zuckergehalt ist positiv zu vermerken.

Makes the most exceptional old fashioned

GRF13 Leichte Süße und recht flach. Leider auch zu stark verdünnt

Rhum léger et facile à boire. Caramel, vanille, boisé. Des notes de café. Belle rondeur typique des rons. Pimenté, amer sur la finale. Pas beaucoup de longueur mais agréable pour débuter. J'en gardais de bon souvenirs et j'ai apprécié de le regouter même si ce n'est plus ce vers que je me dirige aujourd'hui.

A classic Latin American rum in which nothing particularly stands out, but which simply delivers a great overall picture. Toffee, wood and spices with a restrained sweetness. A pleasure that is not overwhelming

The taste is a rich entrance to a viscous, dry, full flavor with dark chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, and brown spices. The aftertaste is long with notes of charred oak, vanilla and roasted nuts.

7,3:On the nose, similar as its younger brother 12, we find aromas of caramel and vanilla, a sweet impression, next, after airing a bit, woody notes, chocolate, a touch of orange and a hint of walnut come to the fore. It's lively and pretty round, but not deep. 7:On the palate, the attack is less sweet than one might expect and also more woody, roasted. Caramel and vanilla are again present, hint of butterscotch, some nuts, a hint of spices, everything comes a bit dry and it gives first duo a new perspective. 6:The finish is rather short and discreet. There is a slight bitterness and the vanilla/caramel combination, with the influence of wood, dominates this last stage of the tasting...A bit dull.

Rum Festival Vienna 20.09.2024 Very round profile. Vanilla, caramel, dried fruit. Very spicy finish. Allegedly unsweetened. Nothing special, of course, but a surprisingly good Spanish sipper.

Looking at the price tag this is a very good rum. Compared to its older brother this one is a bit lighter in the flavours. The nose is oaky with spices followed by sweet caramel and dried fruit. On top of that there is a hint of tobacco. The palate is also oaky with and sweet with fruit, vanilla and caramel as well as a hint of chocolate. The finish is medium long with and sweet with raisins.

Not a favorite, too thin, lacking character. Much more wood influenced than other spanish style rums, or it just was more up front due to other flavors not dominating.

Peu de relief au nez et en bouche. Il ne procure pas réellement d'émotions. Finale trop courte, dans la même veine que le nez et la bouche. Rhum doux et sans exubérance mais tout de même agréable et facile à boire.

Debute con esta botella en este hermoso mundo de los Rones. Como principiante me costo, no puedo calificarlo mucho, pero fue un gran comienzo y eso se agradece. Salu! 🥃
