CDI Boulet de Canon 10
"Du foin brûlé" — burnt hay — is how one member summed up the divide on this Boulet de Canon No One taster gets smoked ham, roasted hazelnuts and fresh herbs from the peated-whisky finish; another poured it straight down the sink. Expect heavy bacon, campfire smoke and peat, with the rum itself almost buried. A polarizing, whisky-leaning oddity more than a sipping rum.
The community says- Intense bacon smoke
- Tastes barely like rum
- Extremely polarizing

The look inside the bottle
How does CDI Boulet de Canon 10 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Smoky bacon-and-peat oddity, very whisky-like "Liquid campfire," as one member put it. People either find the smoked-bacon, peat and roast fascinating or completely undrinkable — very little middle ground, and the rum character mostly vanishes.

Review by Lukas Jäger
Feierabend, wie das duftet; Kräftig, deftig, würzig, gut. Pommersche aus dem Buchenrauch…. Dieser Rum liefert das, was er verspricht. Röstaromen, Rauch, Speck und Torf. Manch einem Whiskyfreund mag das Herz aufgehen, mir ist das eindeutig zu viel. Ein bisschen wie die Kreuzung der BdCs 8&9.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow, I thought the bdc9 already sets the standard in terms of bacon flavor but this is again ne other house number. but no wonder with the combination of islay finish and barrel in the Jura sausage smokehouse😅🥓 where the #9 is still more reminiscent of omitted bbq fat are here rather smoked Black Forest ham, roasted hazelnuts and fresh herbs in the foreground. the islay whiskey finish is perceived here only in the background and brings herbal and medicinal notes, not too dominant and nicely balanced! Definitely a worthy anniversary rum for the Boulet series! very cool!💯🙏

Proposition étonnante que ce rhum à l'odeur de jambon fumé et au goût de viande grasse cuite au barbecue. Content de n'avoir qu'un sample car c'est typiquement le genre de rhum qui se goûté une fois. A tester, sans attendre autre chose qu'une découverte.

Best cannonball tasted to date
Review by Agricoler
Ehrlich gesagt ein weitere Boulet Abfüllung die nicht wirklich toll ist. Vom Rum bleibt durch die Rauch Speck Noten einfach nichts mehr übrig. Auch den Alkohol finde ich wenig eingebunden. Dennoch gab's schon schlechtere Boulets.
Review by Kasper
Level: strong (3 of 5). I cannot believe this is only 6.8 on rum-x. This packs a smokey noise and taste that is especially fine and gives me impression of a pirate ship. Hence the pirate cannons on the etikette. Lovely.
Review by Martin Augustin
Definitiv ein Erlebnis der interessanten Art, wenngleich kein gutes. Extreme Noten von Speck, Lagerfeuer und Rauch. Etwas Whisky kommt erwartungsgemäß auch durch. Kann man machen, muss man aber definitiv nicht.
Review by Johannes
Wer auf flüssiges Lagerfeuer steht, der ist hier richtig aufgehoben. Mein Fall ist er leider nicht.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Ui, too whiskey-heavy for me. Since the parallel tasted No. 11 tasted better to me. However, I like the late decreasing power of the finish better here at No. 10. But the nose reminds me of sour sweat after longer breathing. Unpleasant. Who jumps over this hurdle, however, will be rewarded with probably never before experienced taste perceptions. Have courage! Update 2023-05-16: Tasted this rum again to finally have the sample empty, and can say that my assessment has not changed from tasting it several months ago: This stuff is absolutely not my cup of tea, yet I respect it. I can add today a really interesting, very dominant olfactory note that I couldn't place before, namely that of those green incense cones - and unlit. 😳🤣

Du foin brûlé avec du foin brûlé. Imbuvable (et pourtant j ai beaucoup aimé son predecesseur). Il a fini dans l'évier, bien la première fois que ça m arrive, c est dire...
