    How does this rum taste?

    • Komplex, komplett, beinahe überschwänglich
    • gigantische Nase, feines Zusammenspiel von Sauerkirschen
    • schöne aromatische Komplexität

    Rum Artesanal Ten Cane 2008 is defined by persistent notes of sour cherry, marzipan, dark chocolate, and spice, often compared to a "Mon Chéri-Note" (Thunderbird). Cherries and marzipan are everywhere, with menthol and hints of wood weaving through. Complexity is acknowledged, but many remark on the punchy integration of alcohol—"der Alkohol ist nicht so gut eingebunden" (Mentallo)—while some find more "Kirsche-Noten" than other Ten Cane releases. The rum strikes between fruity sweetness and sharper oak and spice, making it a point of discussion among Trinidad enthusiasts.

    "Very interesting and complex. Medium-long finish, but not very punchy. I have to be honest, I cannot distinguish this marked black cherry aroma, in fact I found it well balanced. On the finish lychee/cherry. I sensed fleeting notes of marzipan / pastry. If I drink without thinking too much about the bouquet then I perceive its complexity and taste it really well. A very interesting rum that needs attention."

    "A very nice color (tawny).In the nose cookie dough and milk chocolate, clove, tannins and fruit. The profile is complemented by a slightly rancid note. Reminds me strongly of Bielle 2001.In the mouth very powerful, despite a few drops of water. Powerful, long finish. Very peppery and neat citrus.Very good Ten Cane (is only my second of these)."

    "This bottling somehow completely passed me by. I've finally been able to catch up. Very tasty Ten Cane with an intense sour cherry candy note from the nose to the finish. Which ends dry, woody and unfortunately a little flat. Nevertheless, a very tasty rum!"

    "The nose is very woody, burnt and in addition the typical red fruits and berries, but also a note that irritates me very much and that I find difficult to grasp: fermented milk with cookie dough?The mouth is a bit more fruity, but otherwise very similar to the nose - but without this weirdo. Alcohol integration is ok, but I feel the 58% more than I should.The 2008 batch of Ten Cane, has produced some super rums between quaffable and brute. This one is somewhere in between, not as quaffable as the RdLs, not as brute as the second Duchess - just because of that a typical, but also somewhat boring representative of the patch. Deductions for this strange note in the nose."
