Review by crazyforgoodbooze
the nose is gigantic! Sour cherry, red grapes, raspberry, currant, cinnamon and again this typical rose, mango and sandalwood note in the background🌹🥭in the taste then incredibly harmonious, spicy and complex.Cherry, raspberry, red grape, currant, cocoa, milk chocolate, cinnamon fruit bread with candied grapefruit zesten and ginger, slightly salty notes to it and the rose resonates beautifully in the background without dominating and rounds off the whole wonderfully.... Partly but also a little wet cardboard and a lot of wood the longer my sample is open. all in all a terrific Ten Cane. Who likes old Agricoles a la j bally 2000 will come here fully at his expense!quite great cinema!❤️🇹🇹🤘
Review by David Sharman
I'm quite sensitive to sulphur notes and this one had a lot of it so I couldn't really enjoy it.
Review by RumTaTa
Reassessment compared to other Ten Cane not better: -5 points.Very nice consistency between nose and taste: the sour cherries and black currants are dominant. Then comes the brown sugar, prune, raisins and notes from the barrel. The 63% is noticeable but not distracting and well integrated. Very complex rum with many nuances! Finish is medium long and again in line with the nose and taste.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
This is a rum with which I struggled a long time very hard, now I'm thrilled and the bottle is empty.🤤😭 Now I fell in love with the profile and even recognized my notes from February.It is a very berry rum: in the nose plums, blackberries, cherries, in the mouth red fruit jelly, ripe cherries, in the finish plum jam. The wood brings astringent tannins and the intense spice of roasted garam masala (lots of cinnamon, allspice, some cloves, cumin). The slightly agricultural side, of fresh sugar cane remains perceptible, but in the background. The only downer is the rabid alcohol, which blocked my enjoyment at the beginning.
Review by Oliver
Exceptionally good Ten Cane! Lots of red fruit (especially sour cherry and raspberry). Cinnamon and cookies on the palate. Wonderfully integrated alcohol. An absolute recommendation!
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh yes, it's also quite cool. So a wonderful nose, you can recognize lots of red fruits like sour cherry and red grapes. The palate is also exclusively red fruit, with blackcurrant, sour cherry and grapefruit recognizable. And the red color goes perfectly with it

Nose Full and round, light wood, fruity, light workshop, faint tar, dried fruit, berries, light varnish. Palate Oily, intense, light wood, tar, fruity, vegetal, faint smoke, raisin, faint cherry, faint chocolate. Finish Long and warm, round, light wood, faint smoke, raisin, faint chocolate.
Review by Filip Šikula
Velmi velmi příjemné plnění od duchess. Tězkej komplexní dřevitej rum. Ve vůni cítim sud a chalupu, trochu koření a sušené ovoce. , . V chuti se rozvinou ovocné tóny, hrozny a někdo v pozadí trocha skořice. Perfektně integrovaný alkohol a dlouhý závěr, který přizná další a další chuťe
Review by mto75
class rum! The nose and palate are decidedly complex and delicious! Red fruits, dried fruit, fruit bread, cinnamon, toasty notes, milk chocolate and also a little Caroni workshop. Thanks Lukas for the sample, now I can be really angry not to have bought a bottle 😆
Review by Jakob Mmmmhhh
Great color. Pleasant but also not particularly prominent nose, but overall already very nice. Spicy floral initially on the palate, also with some dirtier tones and a little sweetness in the attack, then clearly bitter. But not in such a great way as a KFM or Port Mourant, but very one-dimensional. Alcohol noticeable on the palate. Full body. Short to medium finish. Does not convince me, but not a bad

Duchess trinidad 11 ans 87 des fruits secs (abricot, prune) avec bcp d'epices (piment, muscade) et le fut de bourbon qui se fait bien sentir
Review by Alexander Rasch
A great Ten Cane with lots of fruit on the nose and nice spice on the palate. All very balanced and the alcohol well integrated. Seems heavy and concentrated. For me, more balanced than the older brother.

"Which just abouts fits with my feelings about this rum. The finish does not disappoint as pretty much everything you have had in the lead up to the finish seems to come back in a long lingering slow burn of flavours. One of the most interesting rums I have reviewed..."Read full review →
