CDI Ten Cane Trinidad (Rum Stylez) 2012
Most people land on "good but not the best Ten Cane" — a lovely fruity, floral nose that gives way to darker, drier notes: sour cherry, dark chocolate, roasted coffee, sandalwood and cinnamon. Reviewers like the vegetal, mineral, distinctly non-molasses character, but several find it a touch hot and the finish shorter than they'd want. Bottled at cask strength, so a drop of water helps.
The community says- Fruity floral nose
- Dark chocolate, coffee

How does CDI Ten Cane Trinidad (Rum Stylez) 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 25 community reviews.
Dry, dark Trinidad pot still, slightly hot Well-liked cask-strength Ten Cane: fruity nose, dark and dry palate of cherry, cocoa and coffee. The common catch is a bit of heat and a short, thin finish.

Review by DosenZorn
Mein erster Ten Cane. Man riecht sofort, dass es sich nicht um einen Melasserum handelt, aber doch anders als Französische Agricoles. Zur pflanzlichen Note kommt ne ordentliche Portion Karamell und Vanille dazu. Am Gaumen rote Früchte, insb. saure Kirschen und Tannine/Holz, dunkle Schokolade, stark gerösteter Kaffee/Espresso, die sehr schön miteinander harmonieren. Größtes und einziges Manko ist der recht kurze, wenig intensive Abgang. Sonst würde es stark Richtung 90/100 gehen.

Nez : fuits confits/floral/épices Bouche liquoreuse : chocolat/épices/mûre Longue finale expressive : pruneaux/chocolat noir J’ai vraiment bien aimé cette bouteille. Encore une belle sélection de RumStylez avec CDI (après le Savanna). Je vais essayer de m’intéresser un peu plus à cette distillerie …
Review by Lukas Jäger
Delicious Ten Cane with dark fruit and toasty notes. Not the best I've tasted from there so far, but good. In addition to the dark, dry notes, I still have a grassy note that shows up only very subtly and that I can hardly grasp. Unfortunately, also a bit spicy and for that taste too much restrained. In another barrel with a little more maturity, this could have been a really strong bottling. So for me to sort rather in the midfield.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solid ten cane at a fair price! Beautiful notes of leather, cocoa, sandalwood, dark chocolate, fruit bread, blackberries.
Review by Alex Kunath
Solider Ten Cane! Fruchtig in der Nase. Im Mund anfänglich angenehme Süße, der das Würzige folgt und der Alkohol angenehm stark im Nachgang verweilt. Lecker!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Nose nice, mouth drops sharply. Too bitter for me for the young age. It gets better with water.
