Aroma visualization from community tastings
Flor de Caña 5 Años Añejo Clasico
Light oak, a bit of tropical fruit and citrus, and a boozy alcohol edge that a few tasters felt masked the rest. This is a dry, no-frills column-still rum from Nicaragua that most people call an "unspectacular easy sipper" — one reviewer was surprised how smooth and beginner-friendly it was, and it turns up mostly as a cocktail base.

Dry, boozy easy sipper for mixing Splits opinion: some find it a smooth, easy mixer, others say it reads more of alcohol than rum. Fine for cola and cocktails, unremarkable neat.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →The flavours in the profile shine more where with this one they are slightly masked by the "boozy" notes. For me it falls into the slightly above average but I probably won't buy it again group. So the scoring will reflect just that. It does what it's there for competently...
