Flor de Caña 4 Extra Seco: Central American Purity

Noah Williams — Surprisingly dry and crisp

7/10

The 'Extra Seco' name is accurate — this is drier than most white rums. There's a pleasant nuttiness from the barrel ageing, light vanilla, and a clean mineral finish. Works well in cocktails where you don't want too much sweetness.

Ayako Hirano — Good everyday white rum

7/10

Solid and dependable. The four-year ageing gives it more character than your typical mixing white rum — some vanilla, a hint of caramel, a dry clean finish. Not as complex as Probitas or Plantation 3 Stars, but considerably cheaper. Fair trade certified too, which is a nice bonus.

James Okafor — Hidden gem of the rum world

9/10

I can't believe more people don't talk about this rum. Four years aged, volcano-filtered, fair trade certified, and it costs almost nothing. The nose has toasted almond and honey, the palate is clean with vanilla and a touch of white pepper on the finish. Incredible value.
