Sipped neat or over ice is where most people land with this one — an Old Fashioned base for a few. You get caramel, vanilla, toasted nuts and dry oak, with a peppery, slightly bitter finish. The recurring gripe: at 40% it reads thin and a bit flat for an 18-year rum, more everyday sipper than deep dram. Naturally sweet, not syrupy.

How does Flor de Caña Centenario 18 Años taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Smooth, oaky sipper that drinks light for 18 years Pleasant, smooth and dry-leaning with caramel, oak and nuts, but many feel it's too light and one-dimensional for an 18-year-old at 40%. Reliable rather than exciting.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

Very simple, one-dimensional profile. Good mixture of sweetness and dryness, but in general barrel-dominated. Lacks intensity and the vodka note at the end ruined the experience 😞
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste is a rich entrance to a viscous, dry, full flavor with dark chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, and brown spices. The aftertaste is long with notes of charred oak, vanilla and roasted nuts.
Review by Stefan Persson
OK, but nothing special! The best with it is that it’s not as sweet as many Spanish styled rum.
Review by Rumpalumpa
A classic Latin American rum where nothing particularly stands out, but it just delivers a great overall picture. Toffee, wood and spices with a restrained sweetness. Edit: actually quite plain and also too alcoholic.
Review by Vincent D
Light, easy-drinking rum. Caramel, vanilla, woody. Coffee notes. Roundness typical of rons. Spicy, bitter finish. Not very long, but pleasant to start with. I had fond memories of it and enjoyed trying it again, even if it's not what I'm going for today.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,3:On the nose, similar as its younger brother 12, we find aromas of caramel and vanilla, a sweet impression, next, after airing a bit, woody notes, chocolate, a touch of orange and a hint of walnut come to the fore. It's lively and pretty round, but not deep. 7:On the palate, the attack is less sweet than one might expect and also more woody, roasted. Caramel and vanilla are again present, hint of butterscotch, some nuts, a hint of spices, everything comes a bit dry and it gives first duo a new perspective. 6:The finish is rather short and discreet. There is a slight bitterness and the vanilla/caramel combination, with the influence of wood, dominates this last stage of the tasting...A bit dull..
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Looking at the price tag this is a very good rum. Compared to its older brother this one is a bit lighter in the flavours. The nose is oaky with spices followed by sweet caramel and dried fruit. On top of that there is a hint of tobacco. The palate is also oaky with and sweet with fruit, vanilla and caramel as well as a hint of chocolate. The finish is medium long with and sweet with raisins.
Review by Andy Staines
Makes the most exceptional old fashioned
Review by Rumantisch
Actually the weakest in the series for me, something is missing. Still a nice rum that I would recommend to everyone despite my personal opinion. Even in an Old Fashioned, it personally makes the worst impression for me.
Review by Joachim Guger
Rum Festival Vienna 20.09.2024 Very rounded profile. Vanilla, caramel, dried fruits. Very spicy on the finish. Allegedly unsweetened. Of course nothing special, but a surprisingly good Spanish sipper.
Review by Air-one
Little character on the nose and palate. It doesn't really evoke emotions. Finish too short, in the same vein as the nose and palate. Sweet rum without exuberance but still pleasant and easy to drink.
Review by Goodoboy30
This is the oldest rum I've tried and WOW. It's really, really good! Do not ruin this by mixing it. Only sip. Neat, on the rocks, or just a splash of water. Although not my favorite rum, this one is top 3. I can't pick out all the nuances and flavors. All I can do is say TRY IT. You won't regret it
Review by TheJackDrop
"Not sure about this. Hopefully cost is ok… In summary, my tasting notes: Nose: Caramel, Vanilla Palate: Caramelized, Nuts Finish rather oriented towards: Caramelized" Flor de Cana makes good RON products but I find you shouldn't trust the stated age.
Review by MarcT
Not a favorite, too thin, lacking character. Much more wood influenced than other spanish style rums, or it just was more up front due to other flavors not dominating.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Too bad such an old Nicaragua rum is bottled at only 40%. 3-5% more would have really brought a lot out, I think. As it is, unfortunately, it is relatively thin and flat. Aromatically still tasty and balanced, but there could have been more.. But at least rather dry and not so sweet.
Review by Oscar Fernandez
I start with this bottle in this beautiful world of rums. As a beginner, it was hard for me, I can't rate it much, but it was a great start and I appreciate that. Cheers! 🥃

Not my cup of tea, but still enjoable as an entry point for those who do not drink rum
Review by Mateusz
For me this was very hyped up rum that is very tasty and quite complex, but at the same time it’s very mellow on the palate lacks intensity of flavour. I had an impression as if it was watered down. Happy to have tried but not my favourite despite the fact I wanted it to be :)
Review by Buddudharma
I would like to give a better rating because Nicaragua is really a great, totally underrated travel destination. Unfortunately, this rum is completely one-dimensional and uninteresting, lacking the necessary intensity. Only the seemingly low sugar content is a positive note.
Review by Thomas
Clearly better than the 12. Can be nicely complemented in a cocktail with walnut bitters and honey.
Review by zabo
This rum was too bitter for me in the aftertaste. But all in all, it's okay. But it tends more towards an entry-level rum.
Review by Yannick CULTOT
On the nose, you can smell the vanilla side which is quite upfront with a fairly intense woody note. On the palate, the vanilla is still very present. The very sweet scent quickly gives way to aromas of caramel and spices. (You could say cinnamon) The finish brings very woody notes and you feel more of the alcoholic side. Overall, it's an aged rum, ideal for tastings.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it is very gentle with caramel, spice and oak in a very smooth aroma. Taste reveals a strong spice and oak mixture with a unique sweetness that is brief but distinct. Finish is medium length with the sweetness transition into a stronger oak and slightly bitter trecole. Mixed Pepsi Zero: No Pepsi Zero on hand so super sad.
Review by Portman
Not great, not terrible. Respect for the sustainable production, but for the price and age a bit too rough and woody.

End of tasting at the House of Rum.
Review by ffarside
Delightfully sweet and woody. Nice peppery bite on the finish.
Review by Onkel_Ig
My first Flor de Cana. What can I say, I like it. Great dark, woody notes on the nose, alongside typical caramel tones. If you let it breathe a bit, I get a very subtle bitter orange aroma on the nose and also on the palate – I really like that. In taste, dark, woody, lots of spice and a bit of nut. There’s always an alcoholic sharpness present – give it some air to breathe! My conclusion: A nice classic South American with great cask notes and a subtle orange note. I really enjoy this one, especially for the price ❤️
Review by Kay Meertens
Vanilla sugar, orange, raisin, wood spice, blueberry and caramel. Good balance between juicy and spicy, and not overly sweet. But not very exciting either. This is typically something I pick when the weather's hot. Though I still enjoy it, once this bottle is empty there's not going to be replenishment. Going towards 50 euros a bottle, I think there are better alternatives by now.
Review by Michal Jurka
In Flor, I like that caramelized nuttiness.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Not quite balanced.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Primarily woody/oak on the nose with the typical rummy vanilla notes, combined with some cocoa and a slight nutty hint. On the palate, initially much less wood than the nose suggests, lots of vanilla, cocoa, nuts, mild, slightly creamy, very round. Oak elegantly in the background and finish, no bitter notes (as recently negatively noted in some rums >= 12 years), very pleasant and good even though unsweetened. Drinks: - Neat: 4.5/5
Review by rum_sk
Very pleasant fresh nose with apple or pear on the front suplemented by oak barrels and hints of cocoa. Alcohol is very prominent on the nose. First touch on the palate is so sweet and oily with lots of flavours such as burned sugar, vanilla, dark chocolate, caramel fudge and maple sirup. It somehow reminds me of a mount gay xo meeting pussers. Medium long finish with oaky notes on the tongue. Overall very good sipper that tastes naturally sweet.
Review by Alexandre Rolin
Nice rum with a good mouthfeel. A safe bet in the Flor de Caña range.
Review by DangerSnert
Short to medium length
Review by Daniel Gavilan
Nose: Initially, the aroma opens light, offering notes of roasted nuts, oak, and a subtle touch of vanilla, finishing with a faint, smoky, and leathery whisper. Straight from the bottle, the alcohol punch is strong, requiring about 10 minutes of breathing time to open up. Palate: Dry, smooth, and delivering a low burn on the finish. The wood influence carries over from the nose, though it feels less intense on the palate. Flavors unfold with pepper, unsweetened dark chocolate, a hint of coffee, and unsweetened vanilla. No single flavor overpowers the others, resulting in a well-rounded yet somewhat flat profile. Finish: Spicy, bitter, and lasting slightly longer than short, with the lingering flavors of dark chocolate and coffee staying with you.

Very smooth rum, with a wonderful taste, and it has more body than the cheaper rums I usually drink (apart from sugar bombs, but that's not an equal comparison). Sweetness is also there and is just right. Nose is toffee and tobacco. Taste starts with the usual caramel, oak and some vanilla. Then follow hazelnuts and tobacco. This is very promising as you don't get hazelnuts and tobacco in cheaper rums but for me the combination of these two flavors gets very strange in the mouth and sometime tastes like chicken liver, which is not very nice. It is very very smooth, with no burn at the end at all. Like others have noted, it needs some time in the glass to open up and for the alcohol to give way to other aromas. For the price (45EUR) I expected more in the aftertaste department, it's a pity since the taste is wonderful. But the weird liver aftertaste drives me off and the finish is very short.
Review by Kryštof
A little dissapointing. For a rum at this price point I expected a little more complexity. It's comparable to cheaper rums without much character. The only distinguishable feature is a sourness and a dark chocolate-y aftertaste.
Review by MaddenC11
Caramel and flowers on the nose. Very light flavor, toasty with notes of vanilla, spice, and dried fruit. The finish is short, giving a bit of spice. At the price range there’s better options but still an enjoyable sipper.
Review by Kasper H. Daugaard
Deep golden. Spiced nose with a booze and fruity touch. Caramelly flavour with spicy hints and cedar coming through. Medium finish with cedar being most obvious
Review by PeixeGato
Médium bodied and smooth but not syrupy. Cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, and a touch of coffee or cacao on the finish.

Disappointed
Review by Leonardo Párraga
The aftertaste leaves a slight sharpness in the throat. It is easy to drink and has a good quality structure. It has a slight taste of cinnamon and woody tones.
Review by Solidfunk
Florals and caramel. Sweet and pleasant, but not super complex. It rocks smoothness. Dark amber pour. Had a glass of this at a Cuban restaurant in Frederick.

Read full review ›This offers a half way house - it appeals to my sweet tooth whilst retaining plenty genuine rum character. At a higher ABV say 46% this rum might well be even better. However Flor de Cana have a system in place so I doubt we will see anything too innovative...
