    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex flavor profile
    • Long and enjoyable finish
    • Caramel and chocolate notes

    The Zodiac Vierge 2023 by Famille Ricci is a 15-year-old cask-strength rum from the Ten Cane distillery in Trinidad, distilled from molasses. It boasts an adventurous profile, predominantly featuring notes of roasted almonds, figs, and dark chocolate. While many users appreciate its robust and bold character, some find it lacking in fruitiness and balance, noting a pronounced woody and spicy edge. Ideal for those seeking a long and complex finish, it offers a unique blending of chocolate bitterness and caramel sweetness. Its high ABV at 63% contributes to an intense sipping experience that may require a mature palate yet offers rich discoveries for rum enthusiasts.

    "Based on the very high ratings, I would have expected more. Overall, somewhat one-sided in the dark and spicy direction. For a higher rating, I miss more fruit, balance and better integrated alcohol. Seems a bit beastly."

    "Encore une belle bouteille chez Ricci ! Je n’avais pas encore goĂ»tĂ© de Ten Cane. Ici c’est un profil trĂšs sombre, chocolat, Ă©pices, fruits secs ainsi qu’un cĂŽtĂ© pĂȘche de vigne trĂšs sympathique. Ça reste globalement assez droit, il n’y a pas forcĂ©ment de grande surprise mais une longueur folle ! C’est Ă©galement la cuvĂ©e anniversaire de mon fils :)"

    "Only picks me up to a limited extent. Rather spice-heavy, with wood, dried fruit and roasted almonds. Similar on the palate, a little too spicy on the finish. Doesn't really get me subjectively."

    "Visite dans les nouveaux locaux de Ricci : on étais les premiers ! Profil Ten cane typique de 2008 mais avec un beau boisé qui lui donne de la complexité."
