Cane Island DDL Guyana Single Estate XO
A mellow Guyana rum with soft woody, caramel and vanilla notes. Not the most complex, but as @epicsune 🇸🇪 put it, a "very nice sipper." Worth a pour if you like gentle, sweet-leaning rums.
Soft, woody and caramelly—easy sipping with gentle sweetness.

How does this rum taste?
- Warm, mild, round on the palate
- Smooth as silk with caramel, banana, vanilla and oak
- Very caramelly/roasted in the nose
Cane Island's Guyana Single Estate XO brings an easy-going profile, centering on woody tones, caramel, and vanilla—joined by subtle Demerara sugar and honey. Several RumX members highlight its gentle approach, with aromas described as "mild in Geruch und Geschmack" (@Matthias Freynik) and “fairly sweet with typical guyanese tones such as dark chocolate, nougat" (@rum_sk). Most tasters noted the 43% ABV is present, sometimes as a mild heat, but rarely overwhelming. The finish is short, and while some found it neutral, others appreciated the smooth sippability, especially for those newer to Guyanese spirits.

"Doch ganz okay dieser Rum. Der erste Eindruck war relativ schlecht, aber der zweite und dritte Schluck haben meinen Eindruck klar verbessert. Dieser Rum hat eine leichte Schokoladen- und Karamellnote. Ganz ok."
"Time to finish up the 1423 Christmas calendar "24 days of rum". This one had some oak and spicyness in the nose to me, and some spice hints of dried fruit and an oily mouthfeel. I find the alcohol could have been better integrated"
"Despite the low percentage, the alcohol is not well integrated."
"Very caramelly/roasted in the nose (Diamond SV?). In taste a bit more fruityness and florality. A bit middle of the road demerara but still tasty enough."
