Finally got to try this, thanks for the recommendation Cuenca.
glad you enjoyed it mate.......it's a "go to" for me...
and at that price, it's hard not to.....
only found it when I was reading an article about cigars, and it would appear that (maybe just for the article) the growers enjoy this Nicaraguan rum with their Nicaraguan cigars. something about the land/earth relating to both the cigar and rum. living here I didn't think I'd see it but kept an eye out and found it. it's normally 19 dollars which is still a good deal, but lots of time the supermarket will have it on sale for about 15 dollars or thereabout.
of course pretty much all central and south American countries have an abundance of sugar cane so they can knock this stuff out pretty cheaply. we have a local one and the 5 year old is about 9 dollars and the 7 about 11. but funnily enough I prefer the 5, but with Flor de Cana the 7 is way better than than the 4.
and it's supposedly certified carbon neutral

aged in bourbon barrels and they do (I haven't seen it here at all, not even in the liquor stores) 12,25 and 30 year old too.
on a US website I found 50 bucks for the 18 year old,
and it being certified carbon neutral the more I drink the more I help the world !!!!!!!!
