Flor de Caña, a Nicaraguan rum producer with a multi-generational history, has announced a limited-edition spirit to commemorate its 135th year of operation. This offering consists of a rum aged for thirty-five years, and it represents the longest maturation period the brand has yet commercialized.
Nicaraguan rum producer relied on natural aging in oak barrels within the family's private reserve, situated in "Nicaragua's unique volcanic terroir, nestled between the majestic San Cristóbal volcano and the Pacific Ocean."
Flor de Caña 35 Year Rum is presented as an ultra-premium item, with a severely limited global release of only 350 units contained in specially designed crystal decanters. These vessels incorporate design elements inspired by a local volcano and are accompanied by certificates and custom packaging.
