Ron Flor de Cana Rum

The name means 'flower of the sugarcane', a poetic tribute to the plant that has defined Nicaragua's agriculture and rum industry for over a century. The Pellas family founded the distillery in 1890 and has kept ownership within the family for five generations, a rarity in an industry that often changes hands. Today Flor de Caña is as well known for its sustainable production as for its rich, caramel-forward flavor.

  • Bottle of Flor de Caña 18 Year rum
    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.

    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.

  • Bottle of Flor de Caña 7 Year Gran Reserva rum
    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.

  • Bottle of Flor de Caña Centenario 12 Year rum
    Item no.: 22227865416-7207

    Tasting notes

    Nose

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

About Flor de Caña Rum

Flor de Caña is one of Nicaragua's most famous rum producers, its name meaning 'flower of the sugarcane', a reference to the raw material that has shaped the country's agriculture and economy. The rum is distilled from molasses and aged in oak casks using solera-inspired methods in the Nicaraguan climate, giving it a rich, caramel-forward character. For beginners, Flor de Caña is an approachable introduction to Central American rum, while connoisseurs value the house's status as one of the few family-owned rum houses still run by the same family more than a hundred years after founding, with a strong focus on sustainable production.

History & Background

Flor de Caña was founded in 1890 by the Pellas family, who established the distillery in the fertile area around the San Cristóbal volcano in Nicaragua. For over a hundred years, the company has remained in family hands, a rarity in a rum industry where many historic houses have been bought up by international spirits giants. Along the way, Flor de Caña has built a strong reputation for quality and for combining traditional solera aging with a modern focus on sustainability, including goals for carbon-neutral production. Today Flor de Caña is considered one of Central America's most respected rum names, carried forward by the fifth generation of the same family that started it all.
