  Mates XO Dark Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 059763-615-620

  Three countries, three rum traditions, one bottle - Mates XO brings together the best of Barbados, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

  Expert Description

  Mates XO is a Dark Rum from the Caribbean and Nicaragua, 5-8 years old, aged on ex-bourbon oak casks, bottled at 40%.

  Mates Extra Old (XO) unites two outstanding 8-year-old rums from Barbados and the Dominican Republic. Mates Spirits has combined these two celebrated spirits with their 5- to 8-year-old rum from Nicaragua to create a three-part blend that draws on three different rum traditions. The result is a dark, full-bodied rum with complexity from the three origins, each contributing its own character.

  Mates Spirits is known for combining distillates from several countries in their blends, an approach that sets them apart from more traditional single-origin rums.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Caramel, dried fruit and a hint of spice.

  Palate

  Dark and full-bodied with complexity from the three origins.

  Medium length and soft.

  Ron Flor de Cana 18 years Nicaragua Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865416-8080

  The 18-year is the pinnacle of Flor de Caña's hierarchy, the edition where the house shows just how long Nicaraguan rum can wait to become perfect.

  Expert description

  Ron Flor de Caña 18 Year is a Rum from Nicaragua, matured for 18 years in American oak casks, bottled at 40%.

  The rum comes from the Flor de Caña distillery in Chichigalpa, at the foot of the San Cristóbal volcano. The 18-year is the house's most matured standard release and builds on the Centenario 12 Year with a further six years of maturation, delivering a markedly deeper, rounder and more velvety profile. It is a rum made for quiet enjoyment rather than cocktails, with a complexity that needs time to unfold.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Nuts and caramel, with rich oak spice, zesty orange peel and dark brown sugar sweetness, complemented by nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and anise.

  Palate

  Intense vanilla and spice, with dark chocolate, toffee and caramel, supported by nutty oak.

  Finish

  Full-bodied yet velvety, with a long, smooth and oak-driven finish.

  Distillery: Flor de Caña
  Region/Country: Nicaragua
  Type: Rum
  Age: 18 years
  ABV: 40%
  Size: 70 CL
  Cask type: American oak casks
  EAN no.: 7431008107027
  Serving suggestion: Neat in a snifter glass

  Flavour profile

  Velvety · Spiced · Nutty · Full-bodied

  Investment potential

  Low to medium. As the house's most matured standard release, Flor de Caña 18 Year holds a firm place among collectors of Nicaraguan rum, though it remains widely available rather than limited.

  Did you know?

  Flor de Caña itself recommends letting the rum breathe in the glass for a few minutes before the first sip, precisely to give the complex aromas time to fully open up.

  Ron Flor de Cana 7 years Gran Reserva Nicaragua Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865416-40

  At the foot of an active volcano in Nicaragua sits a distillery that distills five times, only to end up with something that still tastes of the warm, volcanic soil.

  Expert description

  Flor de Caña 7 Year Gran Reserva is a Rum from Nicaragua, distilled five times and matured for 7 years in American bourbon casks, bottled at 40%.

  The rum comes from the Flor de Caña distillery in Chichigalpa, founded in 1890 at the foot of the San Cristóbal volcano and still family-owned in its fifth generation. The location on the volcanic "Ring of Fire" provides unusually mineral-rich soil and a hot climate that accelerates maturation. The rum is distilled five times from sugarcane molasses and slowly matured for seven years, giving it a depth normally associated with older rum. The distillery also runs on 100% renewable energy.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Toasted oak and warm vanilla, followed by dark caramel, toasted coconut and dried figs.

  Palate

  Smooth and barrel-forward, with honey, vanilla and roasted nuts, supported by dark chocolate and baking spice.

  Finish

  Clean and satisfying, with lingering sweetness and light oak undertones.

  Ron Flor de Cana Centenario 12 years Nicaragua Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865416-7207

  Centenario means centennial, and although the rum is not a hundred years old, the name hints at the ambition behind Flor de Caña's older expressions.

  Expert description

  Ron Flor de Caña Centenario 12 Year is a Rum from Nicaragua, distilled five times and matured for 12 years in American oak casks, bottled at 40%.

  The rum comes from the Flor de Caña distillery in Chichigalpa, at the foot of the San Cristóbal volcano, where the hot, mineral-rich climate accelerates maturation. Centenario 12 Year builds on the house's 7-year Gran Reserva with five extra years of maturation, delivering a deeper, more complex profile with pronounced notes of dried orange peel, apple and baking spice on top of the classic caramel and vanilla base.

  Tasting notes

  Toasted oak, caramel, dried orange peel, apple and light buttery toffee, plus baking spice.

  Palate

  Semi-sweet and stately, with nougat, almond butter, molasses and a hint of sherry.
