CDI Caraibes

"Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club some time ago. Compagnie des Indes Caraibes is a blend of rums from Guyana, Barbados and Trinidad. The color is quite pale and I haven’t found anything about aging, but I suppose it’s a quite young rum. I don’t recognize rum from Guyana or Barbados in the blend, so I suppose it’s mostly rum from Trinidad in the blend. Overall it’s too bland for my taste and nothing to write home about."

"5:The nose is light from the outset. The molasses takes off quickly rum is even a little smoky, with accents of metal or petroleum. The toasty woodiness gives way to spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla, clove and pepper. The alcohol that escapes on aeration has something very fruity and a little acidic about it, bringing to mind ripe red fruit. The rum then settles on softer notes of vanilla and buttery caramel... But all very weak and faint! 5,5:On the palate is round, but weak again. Licorice molasses are accompanied by banana and salted butter caramel with some sweet spices of this simple, light palate. 5:The finish we notice molasses with its mild sweetness and a little smoke. Well, a disappointment.."

"A pastry nose with Grand Marnier and alcohol that's present but not overpowering. A discreet entry on the palate, then a beautiful rise in power, but it quickly subsides. Overripe banana. A longer finish than CDI Latino. A rum marked by orange, or rather Grand Marnier."

"Entspannter Einsteiger sipping Rum. Insgesamt harmonisch und lecker zu trinken aber halt auch kein Highlight. 15g dosage helfen dem Rum und machen ihn zugänglicher. Der Latino bringt hier mehr auf die Bank finde ich."

"A light entry-level blend, unfortunately sweetened. Citrus and flowery aromas I attribute to the Trinidad component, the slightly bitter note to Guyana. The Citrus is quite dominant, but not to the level of certain artificially flavored products. "

"Ein süss-fruchtiger Rum, der mir ganz gut gerundet hat. Geht locker die Kehle runter. Ich finde ein relativ kurzer Abgang. Für einen mittelklasse Rum eindeutig in Ordnung. Würde mir keine Flasche holen, aber zum tasten top."

"Rund, ausgewogen, etwas dünn. Die dosage ist nicht störend, nicht zu süß."

"Fruchtig, reif, ausgewogen. Die Nase könnte kein besserer Einstieg in's Thema Rum sein. Etwas Malz, diverse Früchte, ein Hauch Rauch. Süßer Start im Mund, danach ein reifer Obstkorb, ein würziger Mittelteil und ein warmer, Abgang mit Rosinen und Überreife. Unglaublich mild, und kaum zu glauben dass hier nicht gesüßt wurde. Du willst irgendjemandem möglichst verträglich erklären dass Rum mehr ist als Supermarkt? Schenk ihm den hier."

"For me unfortunately too short and too diluted"

"Rhum agréable, flatteur et très facile d’accès. Bel équilibre"

"Nice rum if you want a sipper that is not complex and a little sweet"

"...light drop, you can drink every day, but you do not have to...too expensive for what is offered."

"nett"

"Nose: Raisin, fruity and slightly smoky aromas and sweetness.Palate: Fruity (raisin"

"Pleasant rum, but i prefer my rums a bit more aged. Finish is still quite long. Quite dry on the palate. After having revisited this rum, during a tasting with several CDIs, I found that this rum does hold up quite well despite the low ABV and the added cane syrup. But maybe it is due to that these other CDIs are rather a disappointment."
