The Rom De Luxe 2008 Ten Cane Trinidad, part of the esteemed Collectors Series No.6, is a distinguished rum hailing from the renowned Ten Cane distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 2008 from molasses and matured for 13 years before being bottled in 2021, this expression is a testament to the expertise of the independent bottler Rom De Luxe. Limited to just 248 bottles, this rum boasts a potent cask strength ABV of 62.3%, appealing to enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. On the nose, this rum presents an intriguing bouquet of spicy prune, sour cherry, and dried currant, complemented by underlying notes of tobacco and raspberry. The palate reveals a rich tapestry of flavors, including dried fruit, toasted oak, chocolate, and a distinct spiciness, with a touch of alcohol that makes its presence known. The finish is long and complex, with roasted, woody flavors, a hint of bitterness, dried currants, and lingering chocolate and brown sugar. This Ten Cane expression is often compared to the Duchess label for its robust character and harmonious blend of flavors. Despite some comments about the alcohol integration, it remains a beloved rum for its unique and versatile profile that delights both the nose and palate.
