Flor de Caña 130th Anniversary

Flor de Caña's 130th Anniversary marks the Nicaraguan distillery's slow-aged house style, a column still molasses rum carrying twenty years and matured in ex-bourbon wood. Bottled at 45%, it sits among the drier, more spirit-forward names in the Spanish style, and Flor de Caña's genuine no added sugar approach is part of what sets it apart.

That dryness lets the oak speak, with roasted nut, caramel, chocolate and tropical fruit laid over firm wood and spice, closing woody and warm with raisin and cocoa. The higher proof keeps it flavourful while staying approachable, though the alcohol can read a touch sharp. It is best taken neat, a clean, nutty step up for drinkers who enjoy Flor de Caña's leaner profile and want more age and oak depth without extra sweetness.
