Flor de Caña : 130th Anniversary

A delicate rum from Nicaragua with a beautiful aromatic palette

The volcanic essence of Nicaragua: The Flor de Caña distillery

For five generations, the Flor de Caña distillery has stood majestically at the foot of the San Cristobal volcano in Nicaragua. This volcano not only adds a majestic dimension to the landscape, but also nourishes the soil with rich minerals, allowing the sugar cane to grow under optimal conditions. The result? An unparalleled terroir, conducive to the production of a renowned rum. This estate also proudly commits to a responsible approach: certified Fair Trade, it stands out for its 100% renewable energy-based distillation. With over 200 awards to its credit, including the prestigious title of "Best Rum Producer of the Year" in 2017 by the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC), Flor de Caña is synonymous with tradition, innovation, and excellence.

A gem: the 130th Anniversary cuvée from Flor de Caña

The fruit of the genius of Flor de Caña's Maestro Ronero, Tomás Cano, this exceptional cuvée was created to celebrate the distillery's 130th anniversary. With more than three decades of experience, Tomás carefully selected 20-year-old ex-bourbon barrels to give life to this exceptional rum from Nicaragua. A special edition that reflects ancestral know-how and delights the most demanding palates in the world.

A masterful elaboration: from sugar cane to precious nectar

The sugar cane, bathed by the mineral influence of the volcano, is carefully harvested to be transformed into a sweet and concentrated juice. In the sacred heart of the distillery, the stills take over. Each drop is then naturally aged, without the aid of artificial ingredients, in carefully chosen ex-bourbon barrels. Twenty years pass, under the watchful eye of time and master rum makers, for this XO rum to reach its peak.
