Romdeluxe Ten Cane Limited Batch Series 2008

After tasting the rum at the Romdeluxe booth at the 11th GRF, I had to get myself a bottle. Chocolate and cherry. My favorite combination. 😋

Very good Ten Cane! Spicy, chocolaty, creamy. Clear recommendation!

Another ten Cane this time one of the numerous romdeluxe bottlings from this year. That much sour cherry is recognizable here of course not surprising. The comparison is exciting and here I find the Romdeluxe simply more complex and exciting, is simply a bit dirtier 😊A pity that also this distillery no longer exists but the one or the other barrel will certainly still find the way to us RumFreunden.

Tasted at the 11th GRF. Complex, round and lots of depth. A fantastic rum

Incredibly good ten cane. Very elegant and drinkable, in contrast to my previous benchmark ten canes of duchess less complex and almost unusually sweet for this style but also extremely round and mild.

TenCane is very different from TDL. This one had a very French Oak vibe with a typical acidic not. Not unlike Armagnac/cognac. Wood and dry tannins rule this palate. Some red fruits and cherry pop out. A very chewable dram.

Tasted at the 11th GRF and very enthusiastic. Spicy, full of character and simply fun to have in the glass. Too bad Ten Cane was only available for such a short time... Update 27.06.2024: Still a strong bottling! Alcohol could be a little better integrated, but otherwise an exciting bottling. Nice cherry note, plus nice du kle, woody notes, some orange and somehow also some saltiness. Ten Cane should really have enriched the rum world in the long term...

Typical Ten Cane nose, alcoholic spiciness, and the wonderful aroma of ripe sour cherries and plums.Palate: fruit and sweetness flash briefly and then the cask and cocoa notes take over.The finish is very much on the bitter side.The 2008 Ten Cane bottlings are all very similar after all. This one is one of the most expensive so far - taste-wise there is no reason for it. Very good rum, good Ten Cane but no surprise. Price / performance only moderate.

A lovely Ten Cane, lots of wood and cocoa. I wouldn’t mind a bottle of this one in my stash.

Very well-integrated alcohol. Very gourmet profile: dark chocolate, cherries in brandy, roasted hazelnuts. Logical nose and palate. Very good value for money. Too bad this distillery is closed...

Very intense, absolutely lovely on nose. Rich and complex. Lots of dried fruits and fresh, juicy fruits, red berry’s. Sweet, soft, minerals. Jam of plums, peach and prunes. Little bit bitterness when finish stars. Just a hint. First impression 85-86/100 Come back shortly to this bottle

Relativ Süß, aber das harmoniert ganz gut mit der Waldfrucht und Kirschnote. Leichte Holznote und im Abgang Schokolade. Alkohol ist gut integriert. Schöne Ten Cane Abfüllung.

Very nice Ten Cane. Fruity, chocolaty, woody.

again a very nice 2008 Ten Cane. Very similar to the Duchess Trinidad 13.

Another retasting with a few extra points. The glue is very clear on the profile, especially the nose. ----- Previous tasting ----- This is a lovely rum from Ten Cane and the price tag matches what you get. The nose is fruity with molasses and a mix of chocolate and wood. The palate is lightly dry, lightly bitter but well balanced. Wood, licorice, chocolate and cherries are mixed with nice caramel. The finish is long and lightly dry with wood and chocolate.
