Flor de Caña - Centenario - 14 years - 43%
Flor de Caña (which means "flower of sugarcane" in Spanish) is a prestigious premium rum brand produced by the Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, located in Managua, Nicaragua. Founded on a family tradition and a century-old expertise, this house dates back to 1890, when the company developed a vast sugarcane plantation and built the first distillery in Chichigalpa, at the foot of the majestic San Cristóbal volcano. The exceptional fertility of the volcanic lands, the purity of the local water, and the warm tropical climate give this rum its unique tasting profile, delicately sweet and perfectly balanced.
Since its foundation in 1937 by the great-grandfather of the current president, an Italian immigrant who arrived in Nicaragua in 1875, the Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua embodies excellence and innovation. Flor de Caña is today recognized as a world leader in sustainable practices: carbon neutral certified and committed to fair trade, the brand sources only raw materials from responsible crops. The cane juice is extracted using renewable energies, and aging is done naturally, without added sugar, ensuring an authentic and refined rum. Moreover, all bottling stages benefit from solar energy, highlighting its uncompromising ecological commitment.
Flor de Caña rum undergoes a rigorous and meticulous distillation, performed five times to ensure purity and finesse. Each batch is then patiently aged in a charred oak barrel that previously held Bourbon, bringing richness, complexity, and typical woody notes to each edition. The modern range offers several exclusive collections, suited for connoisseurs as well as demanding enthusiasts.
The 14 years old belongs to the prestigious Ultra Premium collection, offering an exceptional tasting experience, where rich aromas and subtle sweetness are perfectly balanced, ideal for the most refined palates.
