CDI Ten Cane Trinidad (Bottled for Denmark) 2008
Most tasters land in the "good, not great" zone, and that fits. This is the dark, heavy side of Trinidad — wood, dark chocolate, coffee and mocha up front, with a run of sour cherry and dried plum keeping it interesting. A few members catch a Caroni-ish dirty edge and even a rye-whisky twang. At 60.7% the heat isn't always tucked away neatly; most say a drop of water helps.

How does CDI Ten Cane Trinidad (Bottled for Denmark) 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Heavy, woody Trinidad sipper with a dirty edge A well-liked but uneven Ten Cane: most enjoy the heavy wood-and-chocolate profile, though several note the alcohol isn't perfectly integrated and a couple find it flat or bitter.

Really nice 2008 Ten Cane! The alcohol is well integrated, and both the nose and the taste remind me strongly of really good rye whisky, spicy, fresh and intense. It has something of freshly baked rye and sourdough bread with sour cherry jam and roasted salty walnuts. Lots of tannins and bitter leather on the finish. I like it, but it could have a little less roasted pumpernickel flavors. The alcohol could also be better integrated.

Good finish. Chocolate palpable. However, alcohol sharpness in the mouth palpable.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting:After some time in the glass, the alcohol is no longer so disturbing. I relativize my rating but still (-4).This Ten Cane goes strongly in the direction of Caroni, in the nose still the familiar profile of Ten Cane with the almond and sour cherry aromas. But on the palate it really takes off: a lot of wood, nuts in between, the alcohol is very present, a lot of dark chocolate and lots of coffee and machine oil. The finish becomes more differentiated again with walnut, almonds and red fruits.Not the best, but a very good Ten Cane with a dirty side. And I am again intrigued by the sour cherry notes!
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein ganz guter CdI. Etwas zu alkohlisch in der Nase. Ansonsten hat man noch leichte Noten von Karamell und Tabak in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann Holz, Fass, Kaffee und dunkle Schokolade. Insgesamt ganz okay.
Review by Joachim Guger
Beautiful nose. Very light Caroni touch, fruity. The 61% is well integrated. In the mind then massive tannins and furry, then the pleasure decreases a bit. Finish rather short.
Review by Galli33
Till today Ten Cane was more like an underdog for me, due to the samples i‘ve tried so far! But this one is a bomb and by far the best one i‘ve tried so far. I enjoyed this a lot, due all the wonderfull notes and complexity. The alcohol is well noted, but i think at the it has a big influence on the outcome 🥃
Review by Thunderbird
A TDL that comes more from the dark heavy side. In the nose initially still some fruit (sour cherry), he then changes with something fresh in the spicy leathery corner.creamy he spreads on the palate and comes strongly with wood, dark chocolate, mocha, nut and spicy notes therefore! Something prune I also taste out!The finish is medium long with almost identical flavors!I like very much!
Review by Lukas Jäger
When opening the sample, I was really excited about what awaits me here. The very first impression, even before pouring went for me in the direction of Jamaica, perhaps a good EMB, plus some dirt, which is so typical of some distilleries in Trinidad. After tasting, I must unfortunately conclude: This is times nix! Alcoholic, very woody-bitter, here my impression of the fluctuating quality of Ten Cane is unfortunately confirmed. From really tasty to really not to use I had now already everything. Very sad, but so seen a small consolation, since I otherwise actually regret that Ten Cane was open only so briefly!
Review by mto75
Intensive Nase, mit roten Früchten, Fass, Karamell. Auch schöne würzige Noten. Am Gaumen Kaffee, getoastetes Fass, komplettiert durch eine schöne Karamell-Süße. Guter Vertreter des 2008er Jahrgangs (auch wenn noch etwas Luft nach oben ist).
Review by TheRhumhoe
Ten Cane reste sur sa trame riche et opulente avec cet embouteillage, notamment avec son nez lourd sur les fruits (raisin sec et cerise et griotte) et le boisé épicé, puis des notes de cuir et de café avant de s’ouvrir avec des feuilles de tabac frais. Le profil est agréable mais manque un peu de profondeur, on reste sur une lourdeur gourmande en surface. En bouche, le profil est ultra lourd et crémeux avec beaucoup de fruits rouges et secs, des épices, du bois, du cuir, du café, du moka, du chocolat noir bien cacaoté et du caramel. Le profil est à la fois amer et très gourmand, on a des saveurs riches et un côté huileux et concentré très agréable au palais. L’alcool est bien intégré, même s’il est un peu noyé au global. La finale n’est pas très vive mais laisse l’amertume du cacao et du caramel en fond, toujours accompagnée par les fruits rouges et secs. Le profil s’assombrit avec les épices, le cuir, le café et les tanins. Une bonne mise en bouteille qui ravira les amateurs de gourmandise avec un peu de punch, souvenir d’une distillerie éphémère.

Review by Buddudharma
Neat Ten Cane, but alcohol integration is not optimal here either.
Review by Johannes
Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden, geschmacklich relativ flach.
Review by Casper Jensen
Destilleriet findes åbenbart ikke mere. Kunne måske tåle en dråbe vand.
