One thing many first time visitors to Nicaragua take home with them, as well as great memories and a suntan, is a taste for the national spirit, Flor de Caña rum and of couple of bottles.
The country’s premier alcoholic product is making a splash in glasses all over the planet as rum sippers from Miami to Manila get a taste for the smoothness that Nicaraguans have long cherished. In fact, many connoisseurs rate the rum superior to many more well-known brands that usually occupy the top shelves of fashionable bars and clubs around the globe.
Perhaps the best known and most loved product is the seven-year-old Gran Reserva dark rum, a mellow and rewarding drink best served neat or on the rocks. But Flor de Caña is not just about Gran Reserva.
