    Puhh... Grundsätzlich aromatisch gesehen ein guter ten cane aber der Alkohol ist hier dermaßen schlecht eingebunden das es echt anstrengend ist hier nach Aromen zu suchen. Lange atmen lassen hilft hier leider auch nicht. Es bleibt hauptsächlich der Geschmack von verbranntem Plastik, sorry. Nachtrag: bei 2. Verkostung kommt eine schöne toffee Beeren süße dazu, daher leichte Verbesserung der Bewertung.

    This is one of the gems hidden in the rum world. A weird one indeed, but really pleasant. On the nose, cherries and chocolate (Mon Chery anyone? Or it is an Italian only treat?), but also varnish and paint, plus a metallic note. Drink side, might be a car repair shop, dust and metal, some woodiness and astringency. Not an easy one, nor a rum you can drink everyday, but wow, a great one

    Viel Tiefe, eine kaum dekomponierbare Melange aus Fassnoten, Tee, Eukalyptus und eingekochten Früchten sowie dunklen Gewürzen. Intensiv, ohne extrem komplex zu werden; langweilig wird es in meinen Augen dennoch nicht. Sehr interessant, Ten Canes werden für mich zunehmend zu kleinen Wundertüten - durchaus im positiven Sinne.

    Z počátku silný alkohol v nose. Po 20ti minutách ustoupí koření a kovové dílně. V chuti potom silné dřevo, kandované ovoce, a teochu technického laku. Co je na rumu opravdu zapamatovatelné je opravdu intenzivní závěr, který až po několika vteřinách pustil do popředí lékořici. Moc příjemné.
