Romdeluxe Ten Cane Wild Series Rum No. 48 (Whisky Watcher) BTXCA 2012
Most tasters land around "very good but not floored" — lovely red fruit, blackcurrant, wood and a spicy allspice kick, with a fresh minty streak from the cane-juice base. The recurring gripe: the near-60% alcohol needs air to settle. Give it 20 minutes and it turns creamy, chocolatey and fruity; pour it too soon and the heat hides everything.
The community says- Red fruit, blackcurrant
- Fresh menthol note
- But: ABV needs rest

04.05.2024 Retasting during a nice exclusive tasting at Romdeluxe. I stick to my score and I still love it. -------------------------- 14.12.2023 Retasting and I still love the profile. Luckily I have a backup bottle on the shelf. --------------- #4237 Thinking about the price tag you get a lot for your money in my mind. A very fresh and fruity Ten Cane with well integrated ABV and wood. It does need to rest though or the ABV will hide some of the flavors. Draws nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some mint and very light nutts.
Review by Banana Joe
My first Ten Cane. Red fruit on the nose, lots of blackcurrants, with a subliminal whiff of Hubba Bubba. It remains fruity on the palate too, but there is also a spicy note, mainly allspice. The finish is still fruity, with a hint of nut. Alcohol is well integrated for me and you hardly notice the almost 60%, all in all exciting and makes me want more Ten Canes, even if it hasn't blown me away yet. Edit: I left the glass overnight. But this morning I had the full chocolate drone. And I imagine I can also detect some incense. Exciting, very exciting.
Review by Dr.Django
Very fresh, grassy, woody, light fruity and young on the palate. I find it somehow closed, as if it doesn't really want to reveal itself to me. In addition, the alcohol is not particularly well integrated. I will have to look for other friends.
Review by Rum Watcher
Give the rum some time in the glass, is one of the candidates that develops. I liked the freshness of this barrel from the start. Had some bottlings of the more widespread 2008 Vintages and ultimately decided specifically for this barrel. Certainly subjective, but I find 11-13yo fits Ten Cane best. The alcohol is well integrated, but you should give the "monkey" some time in the glass - especially with freshly opened bottles. The nose tells me dried fruit, melted butter, nuts and freshly polished leather. Flavor-wise, I got hazelnut, some herbs and a fresh note that I find hard to pin down (think the use of sugar cane juice, instead of molasses definitely plays into this..I can see why people like to dub Ten Cane as Caroni light....somewhat dirty, but still fresh). With time it becomes very "creamy", drinkable and complex in the glass. Cheers🥃🇩🇰
Review by Martin G (Denmark)
I have previously tasted sampels of Ten Cane which was not me, since then I have mostly stuck to Jamaica which I love. That said, this bottle surprises me, especially after some time in the glass. The nose is fruit and nuts. The tongue is hit by a round and soft almost fruit juice. You don't taste it at almost 60%, the glass was quickly empty 😉 Maybe my taste has changed, but this is an absolutely fantastic rum from Ten Cane.
Review by Boletus
Den Duft mit seiner betörenden Mischung aus roten Früchten und holziger Würze finde ich wirklich großartig. Dem folgt ein ähnlich schönes Erlebnis im Mund, wobei man sich zunächst durch Holz und schärfliche Gewürze durchbeißen muss, bis man zu den leckeren Früchten durchdringt, welche im Abgang dann für meinen Gaumen ein wenig zu kurz kommen.
Review by Thunderbird
A very good Ten Cane, with lots of freshness, wood, red fruit and a changing interplay of aromas between spices and fruit. It would have deserved a few more points if the alcohol had been a little better integrated, one more note: this rum needs a lot of time in the glass, but it's worth the wait😉
Review by Pavel Spacek
Mild and integrated, but I just dont like the semi-sour taste
Review by Mentalo
Die Abfüllung hat eigentlich Potenzial. Da kommen ein paar angenehme Fruchtnoten durch, Gewürze, leichte Süße. Aber der Alkohol ist leider sehr schlecht eingebunden. Zu Anfang eine unschöne sprittige Note. Mit längerer Standzeit verschwindet die zwar, aber gut ist es trotzdem nicht.
Review by Fuwi
Very nice Ten Cane! Pleasantly round and fresh, light mint/eucalyptus with woody notes that harmonize well with some spices. But it definitely needs time in the glass to develop. But then you have something really fine! Many thanks to @KevinDK for the sample!
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
A bonus tasting of the night at Whisky Watcher the 24th of February 2024, with nice company. Whisky Watchers own Romdeluxe release. A funky and fruity freshness in the nose, and notes of tropical fruits, wood and a lingering aftertaste
Review by Johannes
Very nice fruit. Alcohol could be better integrated. Reminds me somehow of an Australian. I don't really have Ten Cane on my radar!
