History:
Flor de Caña, meaning "Flower of the Cane," is one of Central America's leading brands of rum. The brand's history dates back to 1890 when the Pellas family established a distillery at the base of the San Cristóbal volcano in Nicaragua. The volcanic soil, combined with the estate's unique weather conditions, provides an ideal setting for sugar cane cultivation, leading to the production of high-quality rums. The Centenario Gold 18y is one of the brand's premium offerings, showcasing the depth and complexity that Flor de Caña rums are known for.
