Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Flor de Caña rum is an ultra-premium Nicaraguan spirit crafted from local sugarcane molasses at 40% ABV. Distilled five times in modern stills, it matures naturally in small American white oak ex-bourbon barrels without added sugar, colourants, or artificial ingredients. The resulting profile is structured and clean, showing a bright amber hue. Its bouquet focuses on nuts and caramel, developing into intense vanilla and sweet spice, while the palate offers a smooth mouthfeel and long finish with subtle, light smoky touches.
Where it comes from
This spirit originates in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua, where the Pellas family has produced rum on the same estate since 1890. Sourced from local sugarcane molasses, the base provides a naturally rich foundation for oak maturation. Distillation is powered entirely by 100% renewable energy, ensuring a highly sustainable process recognised by Fair Trade certification. The rum’s identity remains rooted in long-standing local expertise, focusing on absolute purity and a transparent, traceable origin.
How it is produced
Production begins with sugarcane molasses undergoing five distillations in modern stills to achieve high purity. The spirit then undergoes a slow, natural maturation for 18 years in small American white oak barrels that previously held bourbon. This process allows for the gradual extraction of vanilla, caramelised notes, and warm spice. Entirely free from added sugar or colourants, the rum maintains a dry, clean, and balanced profile. The result is a full, silky mouthfeel with a firm oak-derived structure and a subtle smoky edge.
