CDI Kaiman 46yr 46%

RX743 Very good 500 bottles Above 250€

“Elegant vintage blend with complex, ever-changing nose; palate lacks intensity.”

Introducing the remarkable "Kaiman" rum, a limited edition blend produced by the independent bottler Compagnie des Indes, with only 500 bottles in existence. This exquisite rum, aged for 46 years, originates from multiple countries and boasts a 46% ABV. Its enchanting aroma is characterized by red fruits, sour cherry, leather, herbal, and nutty notes, while the palate offers a complex blend of barrel, leather, spice, and herbal flavors. Rum enthusiasts from the RumX community appreciated the ever-changing nose, elegant blend, and unique character that reflects its age. However, they noted that it would have benefitted from a higher ABV to add intensity and thickness to the taste. Overall, the "Kaiman" rum is considered a collectible masterpiece with great complexity and intriguing taste.

How does this rum taste?

The Kaiman rum, a limited edition with only 500 bottles, offers a heavenly aroma but falls short on the palate. Its complex, fruity nose promises more than the somewhat watery, delicate taste delivers, leaving collectors more satisfied than sippers.

“Retasting this one I admit that I would really have loved this rum to have a higher ABV because I think it would have greatly benefitted the rum. The nose is very fruity with burnt sugar and some grass to it (lile in a Jamaican rum). The palate is wonderful and has a bite on top of the fruity/spicy note. A lot of nice oak but not too much. The finish is long and slightly bitter with oak and ginger.”

“In view of the blended ingredients, the expectation is high - but unfortunately, the rum can almost never keep up with that. Thus, not only the motive for the marrying remains obscure, but also the dilution in particular. Unfortunately disappointing, even if the rum is of course basically good drinkable.”

“The nose is really nice and ever changing throughout the tasting. Actually I‘m surprised how intense and complex it is given the rum‘s pretty low ABV. Unfortunately, the rest can’t exactly hold up to the very nice nose. My main issue is the rather thin feel/texture. However, the palate is interesting and complex. It has quite a few things to discover and is in no way overwhelmed by wood. This is a very well made, elegant blend”

“an absolute grenades Vintage blend... the nose alone is already the madness. after more than an hour of breathing time he shows what he can. very oily, a light honey sweetness, almost zero woody which is very surprising for the long maturation of the rums, in addition sourly fruity after figs and blackberries, some menthol, baked banana, mango, pineapple and sage. at the very end he reminds full pot of old tawny port and is just extremely tasty and balanced. all 3 shares are well recognizable and make a harmonious blend!”

“Really exciting🤩 Very unusual profile. Good to know what you're drinking here, it solves some taste question marks when tasting blind. I think this one is very awesome. Jamaica on the nose and Guadeloupe come out well. PM also still, Enmore and Diamond I couldn't taste right out of it. The complexity and balance, at 46%, I find hammer. Krass to taste that so much goes, even without high volume percent. It's also amazing how the taste changes over time. After a few minutes, new flavors always come into play.”

“The taste is deep and complex. Toasted bread and coffee, china bark and spicy spices such as ginger and rose pepper.”

“terrific nose! Especially because the aromas change significantly over time in the glass (therefore leave enough time). At first pineapple and cream candy, later the high Guadeloupe content comes through more clearly (reminding me of Gardel RumClub) with prune, red wine, orange peel, anise and nutmeg gingerbread. The palate is a bit watery, but the intense peppery spicy notes and black tea on the finish compensate relatively well.”

“A very good blend, but it wants to be drunk in absolute calm and time.... And then it is a real treat...A delicious fruity nose, varied on the palate with many delicate notes of wood, fruit and spice, which continues in the finish, which is unfortunately too short!Only downer, the rum is too thin! In barrel strength it should probably be a grenade!Very tasty”

“The Cayman CDI is an all-around successful blend in my view. He brings a very own note with it. On the nose, very fruity. But also earthy-meaty aromas and smoke.On the palate spicy, woody and smoked meat notes. Finish rather short.The only criticism is the low ABV, which makes it a bit thin overall.”

“Eher zum sammeln als zum trinken geeignet Über ein Jahr später in der Zweitverkostung: Wirkt immer noch belanglos, verwässert und leicht überlagert. Ich kann keinen klar definierbaren Charakter warnehmen. Allerdings ist der Rum ein easy sipper und keinesfalls schlecht.”

“Very good rum, which you can definitely feel its age. In particular, many dry notes going into the bitter give clues to its age. However, it should be both in the nose and on the palate quite a bit more intense, which is possibly due to the dilution. A truly unique rum, which in my eyes, however, has mainly collector's value, in my eyes it does not justify the enormously high price in terms of taste.”
