Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7 Rum

unconventional? (not a senior rum correspondent)

Just as described in the app. Woody, a little bit of honeyed fruit, and a long dark chocolate finish. An easy sipper.

This rum for me was just okay. In general I didn't get a lot more out of the nose than booziness, with one occasion noting a floral fragrance. The taste was mainly slightly woody with an occasional subtle sweetness / caramel. Overall though, I found this boozy for some reason. It was the most consistent thing I noted through the bottle, both with ice and without. I probably won't buy this particular bottle again with all the other choices out there.

Beautiful auburn color and average legs in the glass. Light nose, sugar and oak. I can see what the Distiller Pro calls a cola smell. In the mouth, this is dry dusty oak, chocolate, and some ethanol. The vanilla and brown sugar sweetness (light) appears towards the finish, but there are little floral or grassy flavors. It's an interesting rum, not what I remember about the 12 or 18 year versions that I quite liked (oak, but more floral). Wish I could taste these all together. Mixes really well in an aged version of a Canchanchara (Cuban: honey, Limon, Aguardiente, ice). The dry qualities moderate the honey and citrus, giving this otherwise bright drink a deeper earthy flavor. Quite nice. Bet it would mix well in general for those who don't want or like a sweeter rum.
