Flor De Cana 4-year-old Extra Seco Rum (Nicaragua) / 40% / 0.7l

The history of Flor de Caña dates back to 1890, when the Italian entrepreneur Alfredo Francisco Pellas Canessa from Genoa decided to settle in Nicaragua and establish a rum factory there.

The Flor de Caña distillery grew up at the foot of the highest and most active volcano, San Cristóbal. According to the producer, the fertile volcanic soil and microclimate created near the volcano had - and still have - a significant impact on the quality of the sugar cane grown there, and consequently, the quality of the local rum. Today, Flor de Caña, a distillery that prides itself on its unparalleled care for the environment, is still in the hands of the descendants of its founder. The distillery uses 100% renewable energy, is certified carbon neutral and Fair Trade. No sugar or artificial additives are added to the production of rum. Distillation takes place in an extremely efficient five-column still. The distillate matures in small, 180-litre oak barrels in the tropical climate at the foot of the volcano. Flor de Caña 4 Extra Seco is a carefully composed blend of distillates aged for 4 years in such barrels. The producer recommends it primarily as a base for all kinds of cocktails. Therefore, before bottling, the rum was filtered to remove the color, which could be undesirable in such an application.
