Aroma visualization from community tastings
CDI Secret Florida 2004
Seventeen years in the barrel, and the recurring surprise is how light it lands. The nose is the good part — green apple, apricot, a white-wine tang, a little wood and vanilla over the top. Then the palate thins out: sweetish, fruity, a bit of herbal spice, but the body doesn't back it up. Several tasters wished it had been bottled at a higher strength.
The community says- Bright fruity nose
- Green apple, apricot
- Keep in mind: Thin body

How does CDI Secret Florida 2004 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, pretty nose but thin for its age Nicely made and pretty on the nose, but most agree the cask gave it little depth — a thin, short finish for a 17-year-old. Better in cola than analysed neat.

The 4 years spent in New Yarmouth bring a very pleasant touch of funk.

Beautiful flavors. Many different fruits from. Apricot to coconut. Very complex. Unfortunately a little thin. This distillate in particular would have benefited from a higher alcohol content. You have to try it
Review by Jakob
Solid rum with a not uninteresting flavor mix of yellow and green fruits, some wood and green spice and herbal notes. Despite the seventeen years in the barrel, however, it lacks depth for me, the rum seems relatively light and also in the finish hardly anything sticks except light spice. The bottom line costs the classification in higher realms, because the profile remains unfortunately too unspecific.

#7083 26.07.2026 Relaxing with a few samples while watching the Da Vinci Code. Decent rum that does well in a cola and it had a decent price tag at release. Fruity profile with natural sweetness, spice light roasted wood and herbs.
Review by Frank
In fact, my first Florida rum.Nose: fruity-spicy and slightly woody. Reminds me of white wine. Initially green apple, which is replaced by apricot, then also seems quite fragrant-floral with a distinct syrupy sweetness. In addition, sweet-sour lemon peel. A woody, slightly smoky note with vanilla lies over everything. It's not all that bad on the nose...On the palate, it's different. Sweet and tart, with sugar dissolved in water. Unfortunately, very thin. Some apricot comes through. It seems quite green, slightly woody, with old vanilla powder.The finish is very short and thin, some wood remains.The dilution ruins much of the palate at the end. Too bad about the 17 years of storage.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Seriously with the Florida Compagnie des Indes, they are really well produced spirits. But somehow it seems like they manage to source the most worn out bourbon cask in the world. It is shockingly uninteresting in The sense that I don't get any cask I fluences that suggest some sort of character. They could be great I am sure!
