Flor de Cana - Centenario - 12 years - 40%
Flor de Caña (meaning "sugarcane flower" in Spanish) is an iconic premium rum brand, carefully crafted by Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, based in Managua at the heart of Nicaragua. Since 1890, this visionary company has developed a vast sugarcane plantation and built its first distillery in Chichigalpa, at the foot of the majestic San Cristóbal volcano. The exceptional fertility of the surrounding volcanic soils, the purity of the local water enriched by nature, and the warm tropical climate give this rum its unique aromatic profile, both rich and delicately smooth. Founded in 1937 by the great-grandfather of the current president, an Italian immigrant who arrived in Nicaragua in 1875, Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua embodies the alliance between family tradition and sustainable innovation. Flor de Caña is now a global leader in sustainable practices in the spirits industry, benefiting from certifications such as carbon neutrality and fair trade. All raw materials are rigorously and responsibly sourced, while the cane juice is extracted using renewable energy. The entire aging process is natural, with no added sugar, and bottling uses exclusively solar energy, thus ensuring a product as environmentally respectful as it is refined.
Flor de Caña rum is distilled with extreme care, up to five times during production to ensure purity and complexity. Each batch is then slowly aged in charred oak barrels, carefully selected and previously containing Bourbon, which imparts subtle woody notes and unparalleled aromatic depth. The contemporary Flor de Caña range revolves around several prestigious collections, highlighting the excellence and diversity of its rums.
The exceptional 12-year-old rum, considered a jewel of the Ultra Premium collection, perfectly embodies the balance between tradition, superior quality, and sustainable expertise. It will captivate refined rum lovers seeking an authentic and memorable tasting experience.
