Cane Island Nicaragua

"Really impressively delicious, complex Nicaragua rum. Nice daily sipper. I like it surprisingly well. Especially this combination of caramelized coconut, tangerine and dark chocolate with vanilla and light tannins is really fun! A positive surprise."

"31.07.2021 A nice tasting held by a bygone spirits shop. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Round, wood, fruity, light varnish, light roasted, coconut. Palate Light, complex, wood, roasted, orange, coconut, raisin, faint chocolate, light mint. Finish Medium long, fresh, wood, tannins, orange, faint nougat. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to release all of its flavours."

"Have been lacking behind with the 1423 calendar from 2023, but here we go! In the nose it has a sweetness and oak scent, and in the notes I got vanilla, tobacco and oak. Lingering and medium aftertaste"

"Wow, ein sehr erwachsener Rum. Kraftvolle, intensiv fruchtige Nase mit leider schnell verfliegenden Ester- und Lösemitteleindrücken. Am Gaumen reich und kräftig mit allem, was 12 Jahre Fassreifung mitbringen. Entwickelt sich auch noch mal im Abgang von kurz bis mittel. Sehr solider Sonntags-Sipper, zu schade zum Mixen. Ich freue mich, den probiert zu haben – gerne wieder."

"We know Nicaragua can make good juice. Lots of american oak in this one thus very bourbonny. Yes good Am. Oak ripened Spanish style rum. Seriously nothing wrong with this. Nothing surprising but well made. The classic flavours are here. Some orange. One of the best fron the calendar so far."

"Pleasantly surprised, nice balance."

"Reminds me of Venezuela/Guatemalan rum on the both nose and palate. Mostly woody and chocolate with sweet tones of vanilla all over the palate with a drop of raisins. It states full 12 years in the barrel, no solera but it surely does remind me of Zacapa. Nonetheless a nice sweet spanish type rum with surprisingly medium to long finish."

"Schöne Nase zum Start! Viel Karamell, reifes Obst, ölige Orange, ein Hauch Rauch gegenüber deutlich Kleber/Lösungsmittel. Am Gaumen süß vs. chemisch in gut. Pfeffer und Tannine im Mittelpart, gefolgt von würziger Bittere. Insgesamt recht ausgewogen."

"Very good value for money."

"Very interesting distilat. It is different in nose, taste and finish. I was surprised how it changed its taste within the tasting. You can feel so many things but it would definitely change your thoughts with every new sip. Really recommmend for trying and meet Nicaragua rums."

"Fruit and sweetness quickly disappear. Later, wood and smoke dominate. Finishes like whisky."

"Nice snipper and starter for the tastebuds."

"Fruchtig, röstiger Rum. In der Nase Holz, Klebstoff und Röstaromen. Am Gaumen funky Mix aus gerösteter Ananas, Vanille und Holz. Kein Überflieger."

"Pleasant, quite dry. Spices, vanilla, citrus peel. Drinkable"

"This is a delightful drop for the age ... Not amazing which is why it only scores an 8. Woody , smoky lovely flavour ... A touch wetter than a dry Cuban rum but still full of depth ...couldn't distinguish this between the 12 flor de Cana de Cana (I know the flor de Cana only has a drop of 12 in it ) ... This might explain the smokiness and woodyness"
