Five Generations, One Barrel, 411 Bottles
'V Generaciones' honors the five generations of the Pellas family behind Flor de Caña since 1890 — and the rum inside honors them properly: a single ex-bourbon barrel filled in 1988 and left to age for three full decades in Nicaragua's tropical heat, where the angel's share concentrates flavor relentlessly. Each of the 411 bottles is individually numbered, signed across five generations on a metallic label, sealed under a cap of volcanic rock, and presented in a black leather case with a certificate of authenticity. Browse our aged rums, explore the Flor de Caña range, or see the rarest limited rums we carry.
Tasting Notes
Three decades in one barrel produce extraordinary concentration: deep molasses, dark chocolate, espresso, and black cherry, layered with vanilla, toasted oak, cinnamon, and a whiff of volcanic minerality. The palate is dense and almost chewy, the finish endless — dried fruit, oak spice, and a savory depth that only extreme tropical aging creates.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a nosing glass, with time — this is a contemplative rum, not a mixer. A few drops of water can open it further. Serve it the way the family would: slowly, after dinner, among people who appreciate what 30 years means.
