OVERVIEW
Producer Story
Sustainably Produced Rum, from Field to Bottle
Flor de Caña is sustainably produced, from field to bottle, and the only spirit in the world to be both Carbon Neutral and Fair Trade certified. The rum is distilled with 100% renewable energy and the brand plants 50,000 trees annually since 2005. It’s produced in compliance with over 300 rigorous labor, social and environmental standards.
Naturally Aged, without Sugar or Additives
Flor de Caña is naturally aged in premium bourbon barrels sealed with plantain leaves, producing a distinguished and elegant rum with tropical notes. This undisturbed aging process gives the rum its remarkable amber color and rich flavor without the aid of accelerants, unnatural additives and with zero sugar content.
Category
Rum, distilled from sugar cane or its byproducts, is synonymous with the island life. Sugar cane and rum production spread throughout the Caribbean after 1493, when Christopher Columbus brought sugar cane cuttings to the region. The plant was quick to flourish in the heat and humidity of the Caribbean region.
By the 1600s, island-made rums were in demand in England and its colonies. Part of the drink’s popularity is attributed to the Royal Navy, which gave its sailors daily rations of rum. That tradition lasted more than 300 years, until 1970.
