Flor de Caña Extra Seco 4 Year Rum

Product Description

Flor de Caña Extra Seco: The Everyday Essential

Flor de Caña Extra Seco 4 Year Rum is the crisp, versatile workhorse of the Flor de Caña lineup, produced on a single family estate at the base of Nicaragua's San Cristóbal volcano since 1890. Despite its crystal clear appearance, this rum is genuinely aged four years, then carefully filtered to strip away color while preserving the depth built during aging, a process that's earned it real recognition, including 10 international awards, among them the Platinum Award and a Gold Medal at the 2003 International Rum Festival.

How Flor de Caña Extra Seco Is Made

Crafted from sugarcane grown on the family's own estate and aged four years before filtration, Extra Seco is built above all for mixing. It's crystal clear and light-bodied, with a silky texture that blends seamlessly into juices, colas, soda, and tonic water without overpowering the rest of the drink. It's bottled at 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Palate: A soft, round entry leads to a smooth, dryish, medium-bodied palate with vanilla, coconut, and a dash of bourbon barrel spiciness.

Finish: A long fade of dry sugar cane and toasty vanilla.

Food Pairings

Extra Seco's light, clean character pairs well with ceviche, grilled shrimp, or a simple citrus salad. Its subtle coconut and vanilla notes also complement tropical fruit like mango or pineapple.

Serving Suggestions

Flor de Caña Extra Seco is built for mixing, shining in a classic Mojito, Daiquiri, or rum and cola. Its clean, silky character also makes it a reliable base for tiki-style cocktails that call for a light rum foundation.
