How does this rum taste?
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.

Well, I'll be damned! What dynamite our alpha has unearthed yet again! The nose is very fruity, with lots of blackberries and a hint of caramel. Peach follows. On the palate, it clicks straight away: blackberry accompanied by red fruit, fairly bitter chocolate and a hint of caramelized brown sugar. A beautiful bitterness that counterbalances the fatness. The sting in the back of the throat reminds me a little of New Grove. But how good it is! The finish is very long and pleasant. This juice could clearly have been included in the exception range.
Encore une belle bouteille chez Ricci ! Je n’avais pas encore goûté de Ten Cane. Ici c’est un profil très sombre, chocolat, épices, fruits secs ainsi qu’un côté pêche de vigne très sympathique. Ça reste globalement assez droit, il n’y a pas forcément de grande surprise mais une longueur folle ! C’est également la cuvée anniversaire de mon fils :)
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.
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.
