Flor De Caña
Flor de Caña is a premium rum from Nicaragua, produced by Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua (CLNSA). Founded in 1890, it is a fifth-generation, family-owned estate rum made at the base of the San Cristóbal volcano in Chichigalpa.
Flor de Caña is produced from a molasses base, distilled in a five-column still through multiple passes for exceptional purity. Aging takes place in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels, under a tropical climate with volcanic soils and water, which imparts a unique character. The rum is “slow-aged,” maturing naturally without artificial accelerants, added sugar, or coloring.
Flor de Caña offers a range of age-designated and premium expressions:
Entry/younger rums: 4 Year, Gold, Extra Seco, Extra Lite, Añejo Oro.
Medium-aged rums: Gran Reserva 7 Year, 12 Year, 18 Year.
Ultra-premium/luxury: 25 Year Old Centenario, V Generaciones 30 Year Single Barrel, and various limited editions.
Tasting profile: vanilla, toffee, dark caramel, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, dried fruits, almonds, soft molasses, occasional cocoa, with smooth oak and warm spice on the finish.
Other distinguishing traits:
Sustainability credentials: 100% renewable energy in production, carbon-neutral, and Fair Trade certified.
Natural aging process with no added sugar or artificial flavoring.
Volcanic terroir: the soil, water, and climate surrounding San Cristóbal volcano are integral to the brand’s identity.
