Led by fifth-generation members of the Pellas family, the sugarcane used to produce the rum is grown in nutrient-rich volcanic soils in the shadow of the San Cristobal Volcano. The high-sugar molasses thus produced results in a smooth, full-bodied rum. After fermentation, the rum is slow-aged in 180 liter charred white oak barrels previously used to mature Bourbon.
T speeds up the aging process to create aged rums with various flavor profiles. Flor De Cana 130th Anniversary is a 20-year aged rum with an intense copper color and a caramel, Nutmeg, Jamaican pepper and hazelnut aroma. The palate is viscous, dry, and full bodied with dark chocolate, caramel, toasted nuts and dark spices and the finish is long with vanilla, burnt oak and toasted nuts. Try with a subtle, bittersweet chocolate to highlight these delicate notes.
