Flor De Cana 25 Year

Flor de Caña 25 Year Rum. Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, Chichigalpa, Nicaragua — the pinnacle expression of the Flor de Caña range, aged a full quarter century at the base of an active volcano without a drop of added sugar, artificial color, or any additive, from Nicaragua's fifth-generation family estate operating since 1890.

The 25 Year is Flor de Caña's most prestigious and rarest expression — a rum that requires nearly two and a half decades of patience at the Ingenio San Antonio estate in Chichigalpa, where the fertile volcanic soil of the San Cristóbal Volcano and the estate's own spring water shape every aspect of the spirit's character. As with all Flor de Caña expressions, there is zero added sugar, no artificial color, and no additives of any kind — every drop of sweetness, color, and complexity comes from the decades in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels.

By 25 years in Nicaragua's tropical climate, the rum has taken on an almost oxidized, wine-like quality on the nose — distinctly sherry-adjacent, deeply nutty, and remarkably integrated. The Angel's Share over 25 tropical years has concentrated the remaining spirit into something extraordinarily luxuriant. The result is a rum that invites the same contemplative attention as a great aged Cognac or long-matured Scotch — complex enough to occupy your senses for an entire evening, smooth enough to reward patience with every returning sip. Carbon Neutral certified. Fair Trade certified.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Deep and elegant amber. Beautifully integrated — hints of vanilla, dark wood, and cocoa. Sherry-like and oxidized with heavy nuttiness, toasted marshmallow, and warm Christmas spices. Exceptionally smooth and complex.
• Palate: Smooth and luxurious. Vanilla, fruit, almond, and caramel with a full, rounded body. Brown sugar and Christmas spice dominate the mid-palate with coconut dipped in dark chocolate. Rich and creamy throughout.
• Finish: Long and layered with a slow, evolving complexity. Sherry-like dried fruit, more Christmas spice, and a final whisper of dark cocoa. Lingers for an exceptionally long time.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does Flor de Caña 25 Year taste like? Deeply integrated vanilla, dark wood, and cocoa on the nose with a sherry-like, oxidized nuttiness. The palate is smooth and luxurious with vanilla, fruit, almond, caramel, and rich Christmas spice. The finish is extraordinarily long with sherry-like dried fruit and dark cocoa.
• How is the 25 Year different from the 18 Year? Seven additional tropical years transform the rum's character significantly.

It is the contemplative sipping expression of the range.
• Is there any added sugar in the 25 Year? No — zero added sugar, zero artificial color, zero additives. Every element of the flavor and color comes from 25 years of natural oak aging at the base of an active Nicaraguan volcano.
• How should I serve Flor de Caña 25 Year? Neat at room temperature in a snifter or neat glass, or with a single large ice cube. This is a rum for quiet contemplation — not for cocktails. Let it sit in the glass for several minutes before drinking to fully open the aromatics.
