CDI West Indies - Old Blended Rum
Most enjoy its easy, dry vanilla‑oak profile and Spanish/English balance. Critics find it thin, a bit sharp for 40% and not very deep. Consensus: solid value, great transition rum.
Drinkers coming from sweeter Latino rums who want a drier, unsweetened everyday sipper and a versatile mixer, plus fans of both Barbadian woodiness and softer Spanish-style smoothness.

Gefällt mir ziemlich gut und ist zudem auch erschwinglich. Ist reichlich komplex, fruchtig, herb und insgesamt eher trocken. Die Fasslagerung kommt weniger durch, was ihn manchmal etwas dünn erscheinen lässt. Mehr % wären stark. Insgesamt aber top
Schön unaufgeregter Easy Sipper, aber die Nase ist überragend.
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.
