CDI Ten Cane Trinidad (Bottled for Denmark) 2012
Glue and solvent hit first, then it settles into yellow fruit — peach, apricot — with berries, clove and a woody, tobacco backbone. This 2012 Ten Cane pot-still from Trinidad throws people off blind (guesses ran from agricole to Guyana PM). Give it 15-20 minutes to open. Splits the room: lovely once it breathes, but the 56.3% can read hot and the finish runs short.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This release bottled for Denmark arrived yesterday and I gave it a run for its money yesterday after work. The nose is lovely and only gets better after 15 - 20 minutes. Fruity and spices from nose to finish. The nose only has a little alcohol to it and the palate is only mildly dry. Lovely rum unfortunately very limited amount of bottles.

5.Tag Rum X Adventskalender Getippt auf Guyana... Mein 1. TenCane überhaupt
Review by Christian Rudt
N: first let set the alcohol lets only glue through. After a few minutes berries come through, and ne light sweetness accompanied by something spicy - cinnamon.On the palate then initially a nice fruit basket come afterwards but rather spicy notes. Clove dominates somewhat. Makes the whole something more floral. Had blindly guessed Agricole, is not far away in taste. Finish intensely complex and at the same time light. Great rum for in between
Review by MarcT
After the Plantation Belize this one was very different, and shows that sometimes you need a different Rum before to taste the difference. This one is full of herbs and an earthy note, that could be tobacco, but as I am a non smoker I do not know. Nice and interesting. The Alcohol is very well integrated, I had no burn here.

RumX Adventskalender 5. Dezember: Blind auf Madeira getippt, doch Trinidad 😅
Review by Jarek
Der allererste Eindruck war recht dünn, aber der Rum gewann mit der Zeit.
Review by Thunderbird
RumX-Kalender Nr. 5 Ein sehr verhaltener Ten Cane! Nicht der Stärkste seiner Art…die klassischen Aromen kommen nicht so präsent daher, alles in allem aber okay 👍🏻 Heute das zweite mal im Glas: Er bekommt zwei Punkte dazu, da er mir heute insgesamt gefälliger und harmonischer erscheint
Review by mto75
An der Nase der typische ‚ruppige’ Stil, aber eher bei gelben (Pfirsich, Aprikose) und weniger bei roten Früchten, wie ich es von anderen, früheren Jahrgängen kenne. Am Gaumen getoastetes Fass, kandiert, Menthol. Für ‚moderate‘ 56,3% leider doch ziemlich präsenter Alkohol.
Review by Tschusikowsky
RumX Advents Kalender 5.12.22 Mega schwierige Geschichte. Ich hatte das Gefühl das Profil zu kennen. Aber ich kam nicht drauf. Obwohl mich die Schokolade zuerst in die richtige Richtung führte. Habe am Schluss auf einen Reimonenq von CG getippt. Hatte erst kürzlich einen Ten Cane Abend. Jene Samples, welche ich hatte gefielen mir aber fast alle gar nicht. Derhier war aber viel besser. Spannende Blind-Degustation 👍🏼
Review by RumTaTa
Die 2012er Ten Cane Abfüllungen unterscheiden sich deutlich von denen aus 2008. Das typische Arome von Sauerkirsche und Mandeln ist zwar auch da aber nicht so intensiv. Außerdem ist der Alkohol nicht besonders gut integriert. Am Gaumen dann viel Würze und recht alkoholisch. Im Nachklang würzig, trocken und leicht bitter. Guter Rum aber ich bevorzuge die Ten Canes aus 2008.
Review by Buddudharma
RumX Adventskalender 05.12.22: Völlig anders als alle Ten Canes, die ich vorher probiert hatte. Profil erinnert eher an Guyana PM oder die Rums aus Ghana. Sehr kurzer Abgang, was Minuspunkte gibt…
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum assez brut de caractère, qui joue à cache-cache avec les narines et dévoile timidement ses arômes de fruits jaunes, de pomme et de baies, ses notes florales et mentholées, ses épices et ses légères notes pâtissières. En bouche, c’est assez agressif et mordant, l’alcool est assez perceptible et les arômes plus effacés, dominés par des notes épicées et du tabac surtout. La finale est chaude, pimentée et relativement courte, avec une pointe de cacao qui arrondit les angles. Tantôt timide au nez, tantôt agressif en bouche, c’est un rhum frustrant, dont le déséquilibre lui donne du tort malgré quelques qualités indéniables.
Review by DomM
Enjoyable in general. For me it loses on the finish, however. Rather short and alcoholic sharp unfortunately.
Review by Serge
Verkostet im RumX Adventskalender. Zuckerrohrsaft habe ich sofort erkannt, mehr nicht 😂 aber ich hatte auch noch keinen Ten Cane. Am Auffallendsten war für mich die Obstlernote mit gelben Früchten.
Review by Joachim Guger
Muss eine Gute Weile atmen. Politur, Holz, Frische durch Zitrus, Würze. Schöne Nase, aber alkoholisch. Im Mund dann kräftig, alkoholisch. Der Abgang schmeckt nicht sehr angenehm.
Review by Sylvain44
Plaisant au nez, en bouche l’Alcool est présent plutôt végétale et épicé avec une pointe de tabac. Bien différent d’un tdl
