Ten Cane Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 42

Intense mint, dried fruit and wood with smoky undertones.

The nose balances roasted wood, smoke and a burst of mint, while the palate is intense, with fruity, menthol and woody elements supported by notable dryness. Community consensus points to this as a complex, crowd-pleasing release for fans of bold, characterful Trinidad profiles.

    How does this rum taste?

    Fresh mint and menthol highlights
    Complex fruity and smoky layers
    Long, engaging, dry finish

    Mint and menthol notes lead the charge on this bold 15-year-old Ten Cane, backed by waves of dried and yellow fruits, wood, smoke, and a distinct roasted intensity. RumX tasters praise its fresh yet complex profile, layering peach, raisin, and herbal elements over a dry, slightly tannic finish—though a firm cask strength warmth is present. Worth a try if you enjoy vibrant, smoky Trinidad rums with a twist.

     The parallels to TDL are particularly exciting here. Delicious bottling with peach black tea and mint. I wouldn't really have ended up with Ten Cane blind. Very nice bottling from Rum Club Berlin.

     I have The Duchess in my glass alongside the new Rumclub Ten Cane from 2008. My first impression is that the two rums form the poles of the spectrum of the 2008 Vintage's profile. The Duchess is super dark in the glass, bringing a deep berry flavor and dark spices. The Rumclub is much lighter - a few shades lighter in color. Aromatically, this Ten Cane is closer to some TDLs: peach, almond, ginger. There are also similarities, but I find it difficult to describe them - most likely in the woodiness, the spiciness - a rather opposing Trinidad style? The differences outweigh the differences for me. I would always consider the Rumclub to be a TDL - I even find the characteristic mint. But the agricole notes of the Duchess are missing. I'm not sure if I'm completely off the mark here, but this smells like a TDL. I can't get off this horse: Peach mint iced tea in the mouth. The finish is long, smooth and full of peach menthol. Well ok, I think it's clear what I'm trying to say. At the end of this review, I no longer believe that these are two poles of a vintage, but two completely different distilleries. The rum is still very tasty. Roughly on a par with the 2009 TDLs. I poured myself an old sample of an RdL Ten Canes and the new 2008 Swell TDL. The similarities to the TDL are very great here, the differences to the RdL Ten Cane not so pronounced. This calls for a second round, preferably blind.

     Blind Tasting 01.02.2024, 7th rum Nose: first smoky, then minty Palate: menthol, fresh, spreading widely in the mouth, close to bitterness, some cannabis, light bite Finish: very strong, long Conclusion: The last and best rum of the tasting. Yes, I could somehow taste Trinidad, but the rum was not minty enough for a T.D.L. and not dirty enough for a Caroni. I was at a bit of a loss. As the last rum of the blind tasting, it only had a little breathing time in the glass and probably didn't get my full attention. I really must try it again in peace.
