To celebrate its birthday this year, the family-owned rum distillery has released what is said to be its most extraordinary creation and oldest release to date: Flor de Ca\u00f1a 35 Year Rum.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The expression reflects the brand\u2019s dedication to sustainability, excellence and quality, and a legacy nurtured by five generations since 1890 \u2013 three of whom were directly involved in the creation of this rum. The third generation was responsible for its distillation; the fourth for its preservation; and, finally, the fifth and current for its introduction to the world.<\/p>\n<p>The rum was aged naturally and sustainably for 35 years in American white oak barrels in the family\u2019s private reserve, benefiting from Nicaragua\u2019s unique volcanic terroir. The distillery\u2019s base \u2013 resting between the majestic San Crist\u00f3bal volcano and the Pacific Ocean \u2013 is said to bestow a complex flavour profile and an exquisitely smooth finish on the rum.<\/p>\n<p>Only 350 crystal decanters are in existence, each priced at US$4,000, and accompanied by an individually numbered certificate of authenticity. The decanters themselves are works of art, featuring a silhouette and sculpted ridges that replicate the lines of the San Crist\u00f3bal volcano.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum.jpg\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum-480x302.jpg 480w\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-83833 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"    sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-83833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Flor-de-Cana-35-Year-Rum-480x302.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The piece is crowned with a custom-crafted stopper made from obsidian rock of volcanic origin, and adorned with a leather necker, symbolising the brand\u2019s commitment to sustainability.
