  • Excerpt: The complexity and light rough ad tumble character of the Extra Seco Rum is what makes it such a great cocktail rum. It makes an outstanding Daiquiri, and a fantastic Cuba Libre‘. As well, the standard Mojito made with FDC Extra Seco is a treat to sip on even during my Canadian winter.

  • Excerpt: Flor de Cana Extra Seco 4 works best in mixed drinks. It makes a really nice rum and coke which is similar to one made with the 7 but with a much drier overall profile. It’s quite sharp with some zesty notes. It also mixed really well in things like Daiquiris and Mojito’s. It’s a really good mixing white rum. Pretty inexpensive as well.

Raided Score is a conversion from an external site's score, to our in house uniform scoring system. Please see the FAQ for more.

  • Intro:

    This is a 4 yaer old aged rum, filtered to remove color, "for extreme purity". Their website doesn't give you too awfully much more to go off of. So, with that, let's dive in.

  • Nose:

    Coconut cream, lightly toasted almond. White chocolate and cocoa alike. Sweet vanilla bean and confectioners sugar. Light mango.

  • Taste:

    Thin, light on flavor. There's almost nothing going on here. Faint confectioners sugar, maybe some pepper and light mango. That's it.

  • Finish:

    Short, bitter and heavy on the varnish.

  • Overall:

    This went from a delightful nose to...wait where is the palate. And the finish? No thank you. This will have to stay for cocktail making.

  • Score:

    3
