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
- But: Thin body

How does CDI Secret Florida 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
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.

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.
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.

Les 4 ans passés en New Yarmouth apportent une touche de funk très agréable.
Review by Gregor
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
