This one has to be rested for at least 15 minutes to release its full potential. A masterpiece from the now closed Ten Cane Destillery. The wonderful nose is a perfect match to the palate and out of this world. I wonder why this destillery closed because they know how to make rum..... Darn..... I'd say the price is extremely low compared to the quality of this rum.
Große Überraschung! Abseits von Caroni und dem RA TDL vermutlich der beste Rum aus Trinidad, den ich bisher probiert habe! Enorm viel Gewürz und Holz liefern eine spannende Bitternote, zu der sich getrocknete Früchte gesellen. Im Abgang bleibt ein trockener und bitterer, aber angenehmer Eindruck zurück. Kein Easy-Sipper, aber eine klasse Abfüllung aus dem Hause CDI! Einzigartig, das gefällt!
Wow, der Alkohol ist am Anfang ordentlich heftig, dann aber kommt er sehr fruchtig. Traube und rote sowie duftende tropische Früchte, getrocknete Aprikose und Zitrusmarmelade. Veilchen. Herbe Süße von Ahornsirup und karamellisiertem Zucker. Würzig-holzig ist er auch. Die Nase gefällt mir sehr gut. Intensiv fruchtig-würzig am Gaumen. Wieder Traube, deutlich Himbeere und etwas leicht bittere Zitrusschale. Auch wieder herb-süß wie Ahornsirup. Hinzu kommt etwas grünes, grasiges, vielleicht etwas Olive. Tolles Geschmacksprofil. Gefällt.
As expected, it adds a good bit to the drinking strength, but not as much as I would have expected.raspberry, sandalwood, cinnamon, rose, raisin, clove, maple syrup and lots of barrel and wood on the nose.On the palate, the raspberry continues, plus furry mango, lots of barrel, lots of cinnamon, lots of baking spice, some rose and in the finish neat tannins and it becomes discreetly astringent. at the end, the mango and rose comes through again nicely. tasty but not perfect!
