Product Description

Flor de Caña 130th Anniversary: A Century of Craft in One Bottle

Flor de Caña 130th Anniversary 20 Year Rum is more than a commemorative bottle, it's a showcase of over a century of rum-making tradition from a single family estate at the base of Nicaragua's San Cristóbal volcano, run by five generations since 1890. First launched in 2020 to mark the distillery's 130th anniversary, this expression proved popular enough to become a permanent offering, standing today as one of the brand's most respected releases.

How Flor de Caña 130th Anniversary Is Made

Aged 20 years in American white oak, this rum is bottled at an elevated 90 proof, giving it additional structure and richness while holding onto the elegant balance Flor de Caña is known for. It leans drier and more oak-forward than many modern sweetened rums, focusing instead on dark chocolate, spice, toasted nuts, and natural barrel character, making it a strong crossover pour for whiskey drinkers exploring aged rum at a higher level.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Nutmeg, pepper, hazelnut, caramel, warm spice, and toasted oak.

Palate: Dark chocolate, caramel, toasted nuts, dried fruit, vanilla, and rich oak spice.

Finish: Long and warming, with burnt oak, cocoa, vanilla, and lingering spice.

Food Pairings

The dark chocolate and toasted nut character in this rum pairs beautifully with a flourless chocolate torte, roasted pecans, or a strong espresso-based dessert. Its dry, spiced finish also complements a good cigar or aged Manchego.

Serving Suggestions

Flor de Caña 130th Anniversary is best enjoyed neat in a snifter, where its elevated proof and layered spice can fully unfold, or with a few drops of water to soften the intensity. It also holds up well shared after dinner or displayed as the centerpiece of a premium spirits collection.
