Cañero Sherry Cream Cask Finish
Sweeter than most people expect from a sherry-finished rum — several tasters compare it to dessert, not a dry sipper. Milk chocolate, vanilla, raisins and a clear cherry note from the sherry cask, all wrapped in a thick, almost syrupy body. Beginners find it soft and easy; more experienced drinkers call it one-note and a touch "perfumed." Fine as an after-dinner pour if sweet is what you want.
The community says- Soft cherry note
- Milk chocolate
- But: Very sweet

Dieser Rum hat eine schöne weiche süße, mit viel Frucht und ein klein wenig Holz im Geschmack. Die Nase war noch sehr süß und etwas undefiniert klar sherry aber mit bei klängen die ich schon eher zuckrieg und leicht lackig zuordnen würde . Der Rum ist sehr weich und gerade für Anfnäger sehr zu empfehlen.

In der casa del habano getastet. Die Zigarre war mega, dieser rum eher durchschnittlich. Wirkt parfümiert, sehr süss. Schöne Geschichte dazu aber insgesamt nicht mein fall. Ich konzentriere mich auf die Zigarre…
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un rhum au profil particulièrement sucré. On a des effluves très douces dès le nez avec des notes mielleuses, de la vanille, de la crème au caramel, du chocolat au lait et quelques fruits confits et fruits secs. On retrouve ce profil très doux en bouche, sans grande surprise. Le rhum est épais, sirupeux et presque visqueux en bouche, ce qui renforce cette impression de rhum liquoreux avec du sucre ajouté. La finition en sherry se manifeste avec une touche subtile de cerise. La finale, très courte et sommaire, renforce cette impression de pâtisserie chocolatée, avec un côté visqueux et épais et une sensation de chaleur qui s’en dégage. Bien que très accessible, ce rhum est peu mémorable et a de quoi provoquer le diabète avec son dosage de sucre.
Review by Azrael1802
Ein weicher fruchtiger leicht holziger rum mit noten in der nase von rosinen getrockneten und kandierten früchten mit einem mittleren abgang, Im geschmach sehr süss fruchtig leicht holzig, sehr gut geignet für Anfänger aber auch für fortgeschrittene ein kleines leckeres dessert.
Review by Mitskai
Guter Rum, ausgeglichener Charakter, allerdings entspricht Qualität nicht ganz dem Preis.
Review by RCR 🇫🇷
Produit agréable si vous aimez la cerise. Mais il est aussi très sucré. La finale tire plus sur la vanille que sur la cerise. C’est un rhum inférieur au Diplomatico sherry.
