Flor de Caña Extra Dry 4

Un ron que sirve para combinados como su hermano el extra Lite

Tried sipping but a bit to young and alcohol forward, but sterile but solid for mixed drinks

Tasted at Laka Lono on 6/27/21. Pours clear (Secco). Sugary sweet floral aroma. Crisp. Much more flavor than the horrible oro. Finishes with a bit of dryness. A good silver mixing rum.

Not good at all straight, but works with coke. Inexpensive white rum

As with most white rums, I don't really get it. It's clean and alcoholic, like what you remember vodka as being like from high school parties but with the tiniest bit of ester-y funk and without feeling like you just drank rocket fuel. I suppose you could say it's good for what it is, if by "good" we mean "doesn't make you question what you are doing with your life." It would make a very admirable well rum, but that's about it.

Admittedly it's really only being marketed as a mixer, but there are better choices out there. I've tried it in a mai tai along with a high-quality Spanish style column still rum (in my case, Ron del Barrilito 3-Star), and in that context it's pretty good. It doesn't really add anything to the flavor profile, though; it just extends the length of time until you have to buy another bottle of the column still. It's like adding sawdust to hamburger meat.

I suppose at a $20 price point it's decent, but for the same price you could get a fantastic bottle of Plantation 3 Star that fulfills the same purpose as this but with a ton more individuality and character.

este es otro ron fabuloso para mezclar suave y e dulce aroma

Bought a 375 to give this a try definitely not my ideal rum. Will not buy again. Hard to give an adequate review when it doesn't appeal to me in general.

Too strong to sip but will do good on a mojito or a daiquiri...

On a blind tasting in a group of four people, three preferred Havana Club 3-Year over the Flor de Caña Extra Seco.

Nose: What nose? Will say it had less ethanol on the nose compared to the Havana Club.
Palate: Reminiscent of vodka, that is lacking in flavor. Less ethanol bite than the Havana Club.
Finish: short

Tested in daiquiris, similar results noted.

Perfecto para los tragos la piscina. un sabor dinámico y atrevido por conservar la dulzura del ron.
