Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7 Year Rum

Product Description

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7 Year: Volcanic Terroir, Five Generations of Craft

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7 Year Rum comes from one of the most storied rum houses in Central America, produced on a single estate at the base of the San Cristóbal volcano in Nicaragua by the same family for five generations since 1890. The Gran Reserva 7 sits at the heart of the range, the core aged expression that bridges lighter mixing rums and the brand's more complex older bottlings like the 12 and 18 Year.

How Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7 Year Is Made

This rum is distilled five times from sugarcane molasses, a process that contributes to its notably smooth, mellow texture, then slow-aged for a full seven years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, some sealed with plantain leaves in a traditional practice that adds subtle tropical character. The volcanic terroir and tropical climate around the estate accelerate barrel interaction, deepening the rum's flavor during aging. It's bottled at 40% ABV, made using sustainably sourced sugarcane with no added sugar, and produced with 100% renewable energy as a carbon neutral, Fair Trade certified spirit.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Toasted coconuts, vanilla, and figs, with notes of burnt caramel, straw, and peppery spice.

Palate: Honey and dark chocolate, with a round entry leading into dark caramel and toasted nuts.

Finish: Long, smooth, and dry, fading into toasted coconut.

Food Pairings

The honey and dark chocolate character in Gran Reserva 7 pairs beautifully with grilled pork, tropical fruit like grilled pineapple, or a rich flourless chocolate cake. Its toasted coconut and caramel notes also complement a coconut-based dessert or aged Gouda.

Serving Suggestions

Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7 Year is smooth enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks, but it's crafted above all for mixing, especially with soda, sparkling water, or ginger ale for an easy, full-bodied highball. It also holds up well in a rum Manhattan or a batch of Dark 'n' Stormies.
