Flor de Caña 7 Años Gran Reserva
Over ice or in a rum and cola is where most people put this Nicaraguan column-still rum. Expect vanilla, hazelnut, dry oak and a spicy, distinctly bourbon-leaning note, with a sharp alcohol edge that keeps it from being a smooth neat pour. Several tasters call it a decent budget mixer that's a bit thin and one-note on its own.

How does Flor de Caña 7 Años Gran Reserva taste?
Aggregated from 116 community reviews.
Dry, bourbon-like everyday mixing rum Most see it as a dry, spicy weeknight mixer — fine in cola or an old fashioned, but too harsh and thin to shine neat. A few prefer the younger 4 and 5 year.

Review by Christian Rudt
My brother had never tried the bottle on the shelf, so please. The nose is still the best here, with a good hint of cognac. On the palate mainly rum raisin and somewhat thin taste. Certainly usable for a rum cola.
Review by HenryL
Pure not so mine, nice nose but too sharp in taste. To mix but a cheap and good rum
Review by LukaŽiga
6:On the nose it is rather well-balanced and fruity, with a light banana note that wafts over ethereal notes. It's relatively consistent, with notes faithful to this category of light molasses rums: vanilla, nuts, caramel.It's not overly full-bodied and holds up well over time. Aeration develops the roasted nuts, and this roasted side opens up to coffee. The rum has gained in darkness and bite. We retain the idea of a light rum, which has drawn all it can from the toastiness of the barrel. 5,9:On the palate, the attack is in tune with the nose, so light, it passes stealthily by, dancing on the taste buds with its ethereal quality. Nuts and wood remain suspended, never settling in. 5,7:The finish is light, with toasty wood and a few roasted spices lingering for a few moments..
Review by zabo
The only rum at the Christmas market that you could get at the Nicaragua stand. I had it in cocoa and grog as an update. It works there. Probably not so good neat.

Notes from 25.04.2018: Travel souvenir from a good friend that was opened directly. Fruit and vanilla on the nose, then sweet in the mouth with some fruit and a clear alcohol note. Pure well in the cola then it goes.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Habe diese Flasche vor einigen Jahren im Ursprungsland Nicaragua gekauft. Dort wurse der Rum nur mit 37% abgefüllt. Damals dort der go-to Rum für Cola Rum, oder der 4 jährige. Recht alkoholisch aber gemischt ganz gut.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Reconstructed from a note:For pure enjoyment only limitedly recommended. In the nose mainly wood, some vanilla, spice and clear alcohol. A lot of power, little depth. In the mouth, the impression is confirmed: not a sweet, rather a strong, spicy rum.In the cocktail, for what I bought it, it remains despite only 40% still present, shows its dark, spicy flavors and is happy about lime or grapefruit, harmonizes well with Cherry Brandy or Falernum, without making the liqueurs invisible.

Budget sipper
Review by Buddudharma
Noch dünner und nichtssagender als seine älteren Brüder. Abgang nicht existent. Selbst für Cocktails nicht zu empfehlen, da viel zu schwachbrüstig und ausdrucksschwach.
Review by Jarrod Smith
Fairly complex column still rum. Good flavors. Spicy nuttiness. Nice finish. Ok nose. From memory not a lot more enjoyable than the four year, but a bit more complex on the flavors.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
A subtle nose. Vanilla and hazelnut are most present with a little wood. Sometimes floral in the background. The palate keeps the hazelnuts from the nose. The vanilla is more subtle on the palate. Alcohol quite sharp. Finish is short. The hazelnuts hang around for at least a few seconds. A little sharp and beyond that somewhat boring. Not one I'd buy.
Review by Steve the Barman
All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

Review by wrighty03
Spice much more prominent than 5yo, not as smooth as 5 too, still perfectly nice and worked well mixed.
Review by Kasper H. Daugaard
Mostly sweet rum with a decent nose. A little above an average rum. Well rounded and short but smooth finish
Review by MaddenC11
A dry rum, not overly sweet with a woodyness and notes of caramel of spice. A tad bit harsh. Not a bad sipper for the price but certainly not my first choice.
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Not to drink neat, only as a mixer.
Review by Solidfunk
I always love Flor de Cana 7 year, even more than the 12 year. Florals and oak. A little honey. Golden amber pour. A touch of tangerine on the finish.
Review by Anthony D3
A little harsh, definitely not a great rum for beginners. Would probably mix well, especially with something that can cut down on the astringency

Read full review →With Flor De Cana 7 you feel you are drinking a "stiff drink" but also one that is refined, well aged and nicely blended. I really like this as a mixer and would definitely recommend it for a more punchy Rum and Cola. It works on quite a few different...
