Flor de Caña Centenario 18yo is aged 18 years in the tropics using 100% natural methods. Premium 135-liter ex-bourbon barrels are used, sealed with dried local plantain leaves to reduce barrel evaporation by 50%, stabilizing at 6% annually. This rum is free of sugar, caramel, artificial ingredients, and accelerants. It is distilled continuously using multi-column stills according to Spanish tradition, up to five times, with 100% renewable energy. All stages of the production process have been overseen by the same family since 1890. This is known for its "5-Star Authenticity."
Production method
The rums are all produced without added sugar, caramel, artificial ingredients, or accelerants. They are distilled using the continuous multi-column method, according to Spanish tradition, up to five times with 100% renewable energy. All stages of the production process have been overseen by the same family since 1890. This is known as "5-Star Authenticity." The aging process takes place strictly in a tropical climate, specifically at the base of the San Cristobal volcano in "Almacen," at approximately 26°-28°C. This is controlled not mechanically, but by lining the roof with heat-insulating material and by trees outside, which provide shade for the bodegas.
