Cocktails

Flor de Caña is a key ingredient in the Montini.

Translations

Wouldn't sugar cane be "caña de azúcar" in Spanish? <K F> 00:51, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(And so Flor de Caña would be "flower of the cane"?)

Not really. The word "caña" refers only to the sugar cane. On the other hand, "cane" refers to a wooden stick, or stick. So it is basically necessary to mention the "sugar". The article is correct.Cirilobeto 02:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Product concerns

I'm confused about the different types of Flor de Cana. Is there one that's aged for 21 years, or is Centenario 21 really just 15 years old with Centenario Gold being 18 years old?

Yup, it is 15 years. I don't know why they chose to name it Centenario 21. Would be good to know though. --Cirilobeto 18:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just visited the official site http://www.flordecana.com/ . They say that the 21 is to commemorate the new century: 21. --Cirilobeto 06:19, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Web site does not list any 21 year old rum. The centenario 21 is a blend of 15 year olds. Fixed product listing to reflect that fact R6rome (talk) 04:30, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a 5 year "Black Label" rum that is bottled. The label is similar to that of the 7 year 'Gran Reserva'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.160.204 (talk) 03:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

On March 1 2016 a user deleted the entire criticism section without any reason given. I would be grateful, before undoing those changes, to receive other people's input on if this removal was justifed and the criticism was irrelevant. Thanks! Tlawson74 (talk) 10:59, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this - I suspect brand managers have been a bit too active with edits on this page. I went back and looked at the previous criticism section and the items listed there were valid concerns: there's currently a class action lawsuit against William Grant and Sons over potentially deceptive labeling (the numbers on the labels aren't actually the age of the spirit), there was quite a bit of reportage over the worker treatment and the kidney ailments suffered by those around the cane farms. All of those were deleted in the 1 Mar 2016 edit. I'll try to come back here and restore those to the page with citations. Rjhatl (talk) 08:41, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership

It would be helpful if someone could assist in clarifying the relationship between Flor de Caña and Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, S.A. Did the company that made the plantation develop the original Flor de Caña get bought out by Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, S.A. at a later date, and the latter is who currently produces it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.220.127 (talk) 01:02, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
