How does this rum taste?
- Alkohol ist super integriert, Abgang sehr lang
- dunkle Frucht und schön wĂŒrzig
- heavy, bold Rum. Very âmeatyâ
Ten Cane's 2008 Trinidad 13 by The Duchess shows a punchy mix of dark wood, sour cherry, spice, and the kind of roasted, almost burnt caramel that RumX members keep highlighting. Cassis, berries, and a core of bitter dark chocolate run thick, with one user calling it "almost verbranntes Karamell, Cassisgelee, Zartbitterschokolade" (@crazyforgoodbooze). The integration of alcohol and tannic oak sits front and centerâ"sehr holzigen und röstiger als sein VorgĂ€nger" says @lukasdrinkinghabitsâyet the red fruit and medicinal notes linger longer in the glass, with patient drinkers rewarded as new aromas unfold. Most agree: itâs heavy, bold, and distinctly different from other Ten Canes.

To Ten Cane
"After a quarter of a bottle it is still a top rum. I'm thrilled. This Duchess is significantly woodier and toastier than its predecessor and much heavier than the RdL bottlings from the Collectors Ed. The cherry and berries only come to the fore behind the glue and burnt spices - more red fruit jelly than fresh fruit. There is also some polish and cardboard. In the mouth, the berries are more present and even riper, like in an old Tempranillo, plus dark chocolate, crumbly tannins, the spices and artichoke and beet? The finish is super relaxed and the alcohol integration, which was previously the weak point of all 10 Canes, is much better in this one! Minimal criticism: Unfortunately, the rum lacks the citrus facet that characterized the other 2008s. Uodate: In crosstasting with the new Trinidad rum club. Could still understand my tasting notes very well. The rum club doesn't want to classify itself so confidently. The Rumclub lacks the sour cherries, the berries, the old Agricole. Instead, it brings the typical TDL peach and mint iced tea. I'm confused and need to do a bigger comparison session."
"In direct comparison to the duchess ten cane 2008/2019, there is less fruit on the nose, fewer floral notes and instead more spice and more wood and cardboard as well as caramel. The taste is again somewhat sweeter than its predecessor, almost burnt caramel, cassis jelly, dark chocolate, artichoke leaves, candied ginger, cinnamon bark and fruit bread. More wood, tannins and dark chocolate and peach iced tea on the finish. Partly reminiscent of good XO Cognac. Definitely at least as enjoyable as its predecessor, albeit very different. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated here and the wood does not dominate at all. Grandiose bottling once again from the house of Duchess! For me so far the benchmark in terms of Ten cane 2008!"
"This is the best Ten Cane I've ever had! A great compmex aroma profile of berries, sour cherries, hokz, burnt sugar, caramelized fruit, chocolate, polish, glue, lots of tannins, warm on the palate,... The color is already fun. This thing is simply wonderful! The alcohol is super integrated, the finish is very long!"
"2nd tasting: remains very interesting, precisely because of its corners and edges.Very intense. On the nose a lot of wood, dark fruit and nicely spicy. Something slightly biting like polish. Then again nicely fruity. The longer it stands, the more intense it smells. Makes fun. Great nose. On the palate first alcoholic, then briefly bitter to burnt (the burnt remains in the finish). Then berries, a slight sweetness, like caramel and again lots of wood, pleasantly spicy. With slight deductions in the taste overall an exciting and great rum."
