CDI Boulet de Canon 9
Opinions genite: some call this "flüssiger Schwarzwälder Schinken" and love the audacity, others just find it too much. It's a fat-washed rum that smells and tastes like a smoky BBQ — bacon, grilled ribs, roasted char, a bit of pepper. Underneath there's faint vanilla and a citrus edge if you let it breathe. Not a rum you drink casually.
The community says- Bold BBQ smoke
- But: Salty, overpowering
- But: Not for everyone

Waow quelle bombe! On se croit à côté d’un BBQ grâce à la technique du Fat Wash utilisé avec de la grasse de viande à BBQ. Extrêmement bien équilibré on reste sur des marqueurs rhums. Belle réussite!

Almost harmless after Boulet's 11. On the nose, of course, smoky, toasty, bacony. You can definitely smell the sweet, aromatic fat. But there is also some vanilla and a slight hint of lemon (almost like washing-up liquid). There is also some old tobacco. Also strongly smoky, bacony and roasted on the palate. A little peppery and slightly caraway, but also with a vegetal sweetness of red bell pepper. I also find some tobacco. All in all, something you don't need, but which is definitely appealing to try.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
liquid Black Forest ham to drink, extremely round and palatable and definitely a great thing for all meat lovers. makes a mega bacon old fashioned and is absolutely not suitable for vegans 🤣🤤🥓🐖🔥🍖🥩 definitely one of my favorite boulets so far! 😍 But you really have to be up for it🤣
Review by Vincent D
Extrême, comme on pouvait s'y attendre. L'expérience et la découverte sont sympa mais je me demande ce que je ferais d'une bouteille de ce rhum aromatisé à la viande fumée. C'est salé, très fumé, et forcément écoeurant à la longue.
Review by Tim
Wow, very special rum. Who threw bacon and charred wood into the barrel :-) The smoky aromas mask a lot. Here and there some caramel and vanilla come through, but otherwise it seems like an experiment. Not really my cup of tea.

Krasses Experiment. Mir persönlich aber zu extrem.
Review by Wernie
Wildes Experiment, muss man mögen, meins isses nicht. Läßt man ihn länger atmen,kommen noch ein paar Zitrusaromen durch.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Speck, Speck, Rauch und Speck. Wer auf Schwarzwälder Schinken, Rauchbier oder rauchige Whiskys steht, hat vermutlich seine Freude. Für mich leider gar nichts, auch wenn ich die Idee Und den Mut, Neues auszuprobieren prinzipiell gut finde.
Review by Christian Rudt
braucht es diesen Rum? nein. sollte man ihn Mal probiert haben? ja. die Bandbreite bei Rum bzw. Spirituosen auf Rum-Basis ist einfach riesig. bestes Beispiel hier, auch wenn er mich nicht ganz überzeugen kann.

Review by Jacques etdom
Rhum déconcertant (dans le bon sens du terme). Fumé, viande grillée, voir ribs qui ressort. J ai beaucoup aimé, surtout l audace de proposer un tel produit, qui plus est, très réussi.
