“Meanwhile, I am a real Ten Cane fan. The profile is relaxed and yet not too simple. It is dominated by berries (currants and blackberries and spices (cumin, coriander seeds), plus some citrus and a somewhat imposed vanilla note from the oak.In the mouth, this is unfortunately a bit too tame, rather sweet fruits, plus some spices from the nose. In the soft finish, a few tannins are added.Compared to the somewhat stronger sister bottling, it is a bit less complex and intense, but more relaxed to drink. Tie.”

“After resting 15-20 minuttes this becomes a very manageable rum even at the high ABV. The alcohol is very well integrated and barely biting. Oak and fruits from nose to finish with a kind of funk to it. There is a light note of rubber and tar/fuel. Balanced and complex and I like the light smoky feel on the palate. Price to quality is very good.”

“Typical Trinidad aromas, which I have so far attributed less to Ten Cane. Unfortunately, for me the taste cannot keep up with the very exciting nose. Nevertheless, a very good rum.”

“Un rhum qui débute avec des marqueurs typiques de Trinidad, avec de belles notes de menthol, de fumé, de caoutchouc auxquelles s’ajoutent quelques traces de fruits, de vanille et de bois, d’épices ainsi que le goudron en embuscade. On retrouve quelque chose de bien plus épicé en bouche (gingembre, piment) avant de ressentir des notes fumées, boisées, caramélisées. La cerise se fait également sentir, ainsi que le menthol et une pointe de caoutchouc. Le rhum est très épais en bouche. La finale, moyennement longue et moins expressive, est très sèche et chaude, portée par des tannins et des notes boisées et fumées notamment. Un rhum complet, équilibré et exubérant, qui montre qu’il y a autre chose que Caroni en Trinidad.”

“The RA Ten Cane 2008 in comparison with the RDL Ten Cane BTXCA 2008 #6. I like the RDL a little better on the nose, it has more red fruits (strawberries, cranberries) and vanilla, overall a little more intense (which is probably also due to the slightly higher ABV). On the RA, the cherry notes are somewhat masked by a clearly perceptible syrupy sweetness. I also prefer the RDL on the palate. The RA is somewhat more intrusive with its Mon Cherie profile, which is also clearly perceptible on the palate.”

“The lighter Ten Cane: It is very similar to the stronger barrel, but is a little softer overall! I prefer the stronger version, so it gets 2 points less”

“A typical Ten Cane in that the profile is not very complex. Sweetness, some wood, alcohol could be a little better integrated. Definitely interesting for lovers of this profile, otherwise rather insignificant.”

“On the nose I immediately perceive menthol, which immediately drives me to some Caroni, although here is completely missing that typical diesel/car shop/tar-like bouquet. There’s a touch of rubber, slightly Smokey, with dark fruits playing in the background. On the palate I do lose some of that fresh minty flavors, but ginger and other spices emerge. The alcohol is well integrated! That is a really great expression of Trinidadian rum, a clear reminder that the country has something else to offer, beside the long gone (?) Caroni!”

“Nail polish, glue, big bite of tropical fruits. Honey cake, bakery spice, mandarin peal, roasted nuts. Quite good rum, but not super impressed”
