Nicaragua’s Flor de Caña is Central America’s leading rum, dating to 1890, but Texans don’t have to travel south of the border for a sample. Houston bar Reserve 101, in the heart of the EaDo (East Downtown) entertainment district, is offering a complimentary tasting on Tuesday, Aug. 30, at 6:30 p.m., featuring the distiller’s four-, seven-, and 12-year-old offerings.
Produced for five generations by the Pellas family, Flor de Caña means “cane flower.” It’s made from the finest sugarcane molasses grown adjacent to the distillery in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua. Registrations for the complimentary event may be made online at: http://reserve101.com/whiskey-tastings-houston.
“Many Americans may be unfamiliar with Flor de Caña as it was originally available only in Venezuela and Central America,” said Reserve 101 co-owner and whiskey expert Mike Raymond. “The distillery prides itself on slow, natural aging, and it shows in the taste.”
Reserve 101 is located at the corner of Caroline and Dallas in the heart of Houston’s EaDo District, next to Dirt Bar and across the street from House of Blues. The bar stocks the largest whiskey selection in the Southwest, with over 180 premium brands. In addition to the extensive whiskey collection, the neighborhood bar features beer, wine and other liquors. It’s famous for its Signature Cocktails and infusions, organic material steeped in liquor to impart distinctive flavorings.
“Happy Hour,” with dollar-off beers and wines and half-price signature cocktails runs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday with specials just about every day of the week, including Sundays.
