About this deal

Reaction: I´m thinking older siblings in the Flor de Cana family could be interesting to meet with. The twelve year old feels young and uncertain but the pedigree is there and should be able to produce something more astute. This one feels adolescent, thin and a little cheap which it really isn´t. This version would never be my first choice among the many other tasty friends I have in my cabinet so when do I drink it?

Flor de Caña Rum: leader in sustainable distilling Flor de Caña Rum: leader in sustainable distilling

We’re very proud to be one of the first global spirits to be Fair Trade certified and sustainably sourced. This certification assures consumers that our rums are produced in compliance with over 300 rigorous labor, social and environmental standards. We also distill our rum with 100 percent renewable energy, plant 50,000 trees annually and support various charity organizations in Nicaragua. Commitment to sustainability has been a family value since the first generation and continues to be a core value 130 years later. Nose: Starts with rum raisins, mahogany and whiffs of diesel fumes. A sharp cloud of alcohol numbs the nose. Then developments of marzipan and modeling clay followed by orange soaked honey and a huge load of nuts such as macadamias, hazel and Brazil nuts. The smell is still sharp even after ten minutes. Flor de Caña made history in 2020 when it became the only global spirit brand to be certified both carbon neutral and Fair Trade. I enjoy how the different ranges have very different flavor profiles,” Micah Melton, beverage director at The Aviary in Chicago and New York, says. “From crisp and dry, to rich and toffee — you can really play up the nuance between the 4 year and the 25, and everything in between.” The brand was honoured with the Distillery Sustainability Award and Ethical Award during the 2021 Spirits Business Awards. Premium Nicaraguan rum brand Flor de Caña is focused on sustainabilityFlor de Caña rum is distilled five times during its production. Each rum is aged in a charred oak barrel having previously been used to mature bourbon whiskey, and is also created to comply with kosher standards. [11] [12] The company's rums are aged for up to 25 years. [13] The contemporary line has five premium rums, two super-premium rums, and three ultra premium rums. [14] In 2013 the company updated its bottle design, that includes examples of the rum's award wins and a volcano, intended to represent the volcanic soil of Nicaragua. [15] The rums are distributed in forty-three countries. [16] The Flor de Caña brand symbol is present on all bottles. The logo depicts medals won by the rum and the San Cristobal Volcano.

a b Webber, Jude (2015-06-26). "Nicaragua's Flor de Caña rum pays healthy dividends". Financial Times . Retrieved 2023-02-19.Flor de Caña is one of the early trailblazers in this space,” Paul Rice, president and CEO of Fair Trade USA, says. “They are one of just a few spirits companies to adopt Fair Trade practices in their supply chain.” Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua was founded in 1937. [4] After building the distillery, it was not until 1937 that Flor de Caña was formally introduced to the Nicaraguan market, with Flor de Caña Etiqueta Amarilla and Flor de Caña Etiqueta Roja being the first two flavors. [5] My personal favorite drink is the Flor Ginger; it's a drink everyone can enjoy and very refreshing. It’s Flor de Caña 12-Year, ginger ale and an orange peel. Simple and fun! Flor de Caña ran a sustainable business long before the term was trending. For more than a decade, the distillery has operated fully on renewable energy. The company school has provided free education to the children of employees since 1913, and a company hospital has offered free medical services to employees and their families since 1958. In 1959 it was first exported to Venezuela, Costa Rica and other Central American countries. [6] [5] Between 1963 and 1965 the distillery in Chichigalpa underwent modernization updates. Eight years later a second distillery was constructed in Honduras. [7] During the 1980s, Flor de Caña was stored in large quantities due to the Nicaraguan Revolution. By 1990, Flor de Caña had the largest reserve of aged rum in the world. [2]

Varcasia, Antonio (3 September 2016). "Tranquilo Wins Flor de Cana International Tournament in Nicaragua". Marlin . Retrieved 5 August 2017. When Alfredo Francisco Pellas Canessa left his native Italy for Nicaragua in 1875, rum wasn’t on his mind. During the Gold Rush, Alfredo created a successful steamboat route connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific, passing through Nicaragua. But destiny would set him on a new course altogether. Today you’ll find locally produced bottles everywhere from the Caribbean to the Congo; Honduras to Hawaii. You’d be searching for quite some time, however, before you found one with the pedigree of Flor de Caña. The 125-year-old Nicaraguan brand has carried its craft across five generations of family stewardship, amassing countless accolades along the way. Most recently, it was named 2017 Best Rum Producer of the Year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London.Mouth: This is new! De Cana has a very delicate sweetness to it which entwines around a heavenly creaminess in the middle register. Very exciting! Unfortunately this is almost lost in the immense alcohol cloud de Cana refuses to let go of. It is troubling to say the least and overshadows nearly everything. Here we have the most appealing rum possible (in a small doze) and it seems to be diluted by vodka. How sad! The nuts are still the main theme with the cream and fine sweetness as passive wingmen.
