Flor de Cana V Generaciones is one of the most collectible and prestigious rums in the world, a 30 year old single barrel expression drawn entirely from one white oak barrel filled in 1988. Flor de Cana is a fifth generation, family owned Nicaraguan distillery founded in 1890 at the base of the active San Cristobal volcano, and this ultra luxury release celebrates those five generations of the Pellas family along with the distillery's 130th anniversary. Remarkably, the entire worldwide production comes from a single barrel, making it exceptionally rare even for a producer with some of the largest aged rum reserves on earth. The rum is naturally aged for three full decades in the tropical heat and humidity of Nicaragua, with no added sugar, developing extraordinary depth, structure and refinement. Every bottle is individually numbered and beautifully presented, featuring the signatures of all five family generations, a bottle cap hand crafted from volcanic rock, a replica of the iconic 1902 Nicaraguan volcano postal stamp, a metallic label and a certificate of authenticity, all housed in a premium presentation case. Bottled at 45 percent alcohol by volume, it pours a deep mahogany and opens with an elegant nose of ripe fruit, orange, mint, caramel and vanilla over oak. The palate is rich and complex, layering prune, burnt muscovado sugar, cooked orange, maraschino cherry, spice and dark chocolate, and the finish is long, dry and sophisticated with lingering oak and coffee. A genuine trophy for the serious collector and rum connoisseur, it is best savored neat to fully appreciate three decades of patient, single barrel aging.
