CDI Secret Florida 2004
Sipped neat, it opens with a big, likeable nose — vanilla, toffee, cocoa, orange peel and Christmas-cake spice, with a whiff of Jamaican ester funk from a New Yarmouth finish. The palate follows through with honey and peppery spice, but at 44% it thins out fast. One taster wished for a few more points of alcohol to carry it.
The community says- Gorgeous nose
- Christmas-cake spice
- But: Thin, watery palate

The look inside the bottle
How does CDI Secret Florida 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Lovely nose, thin palate — easygoing 17yo sipper Most agree the nose overpromises what the watery palate delivers — pleasant and harmonious, but too thin to be memorable. A nice sipper, not a must-have.

Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Starker Cdi. Ausgezeichnete Nase und im Anfang noch besser.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Gigantische Nase nach New Yarmouth, jamaica funk und in Rum getränktem Weihnachtsstollen. Geschmacklich dann auch Ester-Funk, Honig, Banane, Birne und etwas Ingwer und roter Pfeffer. Erinnert leicht an Ingwerplätzchen. Rosine, Marzipan, Vanillepudding, getrocknete Feige, Zitronenabrieb und Honig und junges Holz gesellen sich im Abgang dazu. Insgesamt echt lecker & spannend aber auch etwas dünn. 4-6% mehr Alkohol würden das ganze deutlich spannender machen. Dafür aber sehr harmonisch, allerdings dominiert das New Yarmouth finish den Rum doch schon sehr! Ohne wäre der mit vermutlich zu langweilig. Aber nun Mal auch kein must have Rum!

barva světle nažloutlá vůně jemné citrusové chuť nasládlá, % slabé a opět jemné citrusové
Review by Jakob
Ausgesprochen gefälliges Profil. In der Nase dominieren Vanille, Toffee, Kakao, Gebäck und Orangennoten. Am Gaumen wird selbige Melange durch etwas Honig und pfeffriger Würzigkeit ergänzt. Insgesamt bleibt das Geschmacksprofil nahe am Versprechen aus der Nase - leider schlägt die Verdünnung aber in eine gut erkennbare Wässrigkeit durch. Schöner Einsteiger-Rum.
