Produced by the same family estate whose rum-making history dates to 1890, it is naturally matured for a full 25 years in American white oak bourbon barrels at the base of Nicaragua’s San Cristóbal volcano. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eA quarter of a century in oak brings considerably more depth than the younger Flor de Caña expressions, but the house style remains remarkably composed. Vanilla, dark cocoa and mature wood lead into ripe fruit, almonds and toasted nuts, with a long, polished finish rather than an overly sweet or syrupy profile. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eFlor de Caña states that the 25 Year Old is a single-estate rum made without added sugar, artificial flavours or other additives. It is bottled at 40% ABV, allowing the extended maturation and oak character to take centre stage without becoming overly aggressive. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis isn't really the bottle for drowning in Coke.
