Melton suggests calling on younger expressions of Flor de Caña to supplant whiskey in a Boulevardier. This preparation subdues the rum’s natural sweetness, balancing it with dry and bitter tones from vermouth and Campari. Carruthers, Nicola (3 May 2018). "Flor de Caña gains Fairtrade certification". The Spirits Business . Retrieved 4 July 2018. The nose is similar to the 12 Centenario. It smells slightly younger with more sweet alcohol notes on the nose. It smells reasonably “boozy”. Despite this you still get notes of good oak ageing. Nice charred oak and a little bit of toffee. It has a quite distinctive almost warming note to it similar to the 12. There is something very pleasant on the nose which I can’t quite place. Overall the nose is good and despite being slightly strong in terms of alcohol still pretty decent.

So whilst Flor De Cana 7 Gran Reserva might not replace my more refined sippers such as Rum Sixty Six and Appleton 12 I felt that it was all round a pretty decent rum. Nicely blended, didn’t burn too much and something which I find increasingly important…..actually tasted like rum! Flor de Caña rum is distilled five times during its production.

Whilst it also takes a slight edge of the bubbliness of the cola and smooths the drink out slightly. The strong rum taste remains mixed with that slightly boozy feel to it. With Flor De Cana 7 you feel you are drinking a “stiff drink” but also one that is refined, well aged and nicely blended.

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. We are told that our pay includes the seventh day, but that is not true," Joe,* who works in the human resources department at ISA says.

He has since been able to control them.
