Flor de Caña is based in the fertile lands of NicaraguaThe 7 Gran Reserva comes in a lovely upright almost square bottle. The new label looks more sleek and modern than its predecessor and indeed the age statement has been removed. This is now simply 7 Gran Reserva. So the 7 could stand for absolutely anything at all. This could mean a downgrade in the liquid inside but at the same time it also gives the blender more room for manoeuvre to produce consistent batches of the same rum over time.

We are a single estate rum, meaning we own and control the entire production of the rum, from field to bottle. The talent and expertise of Tomas Cano, our Maestro Ronero for over 35 years, ensures the world-class quality of our liquid. So whilst Flor De Cana 7 Gran Reserva might not replace my more refined sippers such as Rum Sixty Six and Appleton 12 I felt that it was all round a pretty decent rum. Nicely blended, didn’t burn too much and something which I find increasingly important…..actually tasted like rum! Initially, he invested in a shorter and safer steamboat route through Nicaragua to transport passengers and goods from the East Coast of the US to the West Coast during the height of the California Gold Rush. The route was a huge success, but when news broke about the construction of the Panama Canal and the U.S. coast-to-coast railroad, Alfredo Francisco knew it was time to set out on a new adventure…When it comes to rum, differences in quality go a very long way. In fact, we can think of no other spirit category where there are only a handful of delicious sippers and then an outright smorgasbord of impalatable swill. That makes it all too easy to steer in the wrong direction when buying a gift for the rum lover in your life during this holiday season. Only absolute satisfaction will suffice and we have just the thing for you. Meet Flor de Caña 12-Year-Old Rum, which is every bit as delicious as it looks.
