CDI Boulet de Canon 12
Smoke, peat and ash hit first — this is a Compagnie des Indes rum built for whisky drinkers, with reviewers naming Lagavulin-style casks behind the honey, hazelnut, herbs and cigar. Fans call it the "most balanced" peated BdC yet; others find the peat swallows everything ("pure ashtray, not for me"). At 46%, more experiment than easy sipper.

How does CDI Boulet de Canon 12 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Heavily peated, whisky-cask rum for Islay fans Divides drinkers cleanly: peated-whisky fans love the smoke, ash and honey balance, while anyone cool on peat finds it too much. Best if you already like Islay malts.

Review by BlackTotDay
Interessantes Experiment; wer Single Malts wie Laphroaig, Caol Ila oder Lagavulin mag, sollte probieren. Im Mund kalter Rauch, Torf, Asche, Kräuter, feuchte Erde. Wo das Whiksyfass endet und der Rumblend beginnt vermag ich nicht zu sagen.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Very intense. Pure ashtray. Not for me.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Als Whiskytrinker freue ich mich immer einen rauchigen BdC im Glas zu haben. Aus der Erinnerjng heraus würde ich sogar sagen, dass die Nr. 12 mir bisher am besten gefällt. Schöner Rauch, Speck, Birne, Holz, Vanille, Honig und Kräutern. Ein paar Prozentchen mehr und hätte sogar den Sprung in die 8er geschafft.
Review by Benjamin Perez
Très agréable, étonnant de par son côté tourbé qui est bien équilibré dans l’ensemble et pas écœurant!
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Extrem rauchig, ein bisschen Honig. Ziemlich gelungener Cdi

Le BdC le plus équilibré jamais sorti 🔥
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolutely great for whisky fans. Beautiful peat, cigar and herbal/nutty notes with a slight spiciness and acidity like pink pepper and balsamic. The rum adds nice honey and hazelnut/vanilla notes. Overall quite harmonious but you have to like whisky. I still find it a little lacking in complexity, perhaps an older or stronger rum would have been more exciting as a base. In this case, Lagavulin casks were used.
Review by TheJackDrop
"A re tester En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Tourbe, Whisky En bouche : Fumé La finale plutot orientee vers : Cigare" Clairement une belle gamme chez compagnie des indes et souvent sans sucre ajoutés ca me plait globalement.
Review by Johannes
Even though I am not a fan of smoky rum, this one is quite ok.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
The peat takes over too much, making it hard to appreciate these peated rums overall.
Review by Gregor
In the smell even like stool. Taste of smoky, watered-down peat whisky
