The West Indies - Old Blended Rum by Compagnie des Indes is a masterful blend crafted from molasses, distilled using both pot and column stills. Aged for 8 years, it combines Spanish and English rum styles, offering an aromatic profile with notes of caramelized sugars, vanilla, and woody hints. Tasting reveals a balanced sweetness with flavors of vanilla, almond, and mild woodiness. Despite its 40% ABV, it remains smooth and inviting, though some users found it lacked depth.

"Nothing memorable. However, good value for money. Alcohol is not well integrated. Medium finish."
"Schöne Kombi aus spanisch & englischem Stil. Würzig, fruchtig und trocken zugleich. Überraschend komplex! Macht ein sehr geilen Corn'n'Oil!"
"Quand un assemblage est bien fait pas besoin de sucre! C’est du velours très facile à boire, et une super transition vers des rhums plus secs pour ceux qui veulent sortir des ron de tradition hispanique."
"Neat it is a a easy sipper, those comes along with some spices, wood and fruits from the different distilleries. The alcohol is there but not too bad. But keep in mind this is only 40%. The same on the palate and it feels a bit too sweet (dosage)? Neat there are better options in this price range but still it is with a try. As a mixer I liked it a lot, especially as addition to reduce the ABV when blending different Rums."
