Flor de Caña 18 Year Old Rum 700ml 40%

Six more years than the 12, and every one of them shows in the structure.

• Volume: 700ml
• ABV: 40%
• Origin: Nicaragua
• Style: Aged Rum | Ex-Bourbon Oak Matured
• Age: 18 Years
• Release: Core Range

Eighteen years in American oak at the base of the San Cristóbal volcano takes the house style and gives it depth and grip, without losing the clean, dry character the distillery is known for. More age, more oak, more structure, and still no added sugar.

What it delivers

• Caramel, vanilla and toasted nuts on the nose, with hints of orange, cocoa and spice
• A fuller palate than the 12, running dark chocolate, toffee and roasted nuts over oak and spice
• A long, warming finish of vanilla, spice and charred oak with a clean, dry fade

Why it matters

• Eighteen tropical years is the equivalent of far greater age in a cooler climate
• The dry edge keeps the extra oak from tipping into sweetness
• The step where the range moves from everyday sipping into serious territory
