Romdeluxe Ten Cane Limited Batch Series 2008

Incredibly good ten cane. Very elegant and drinkable, in contrast to my previous benchmark ten canes of duchess less complex and almost unusually sweet for this style but also extremely round and mild.

Another retasting with a few extra points. The glue is very clear on the profile, especially the nose. ----- Previous tasting ----- This is a lovely rum from Ten Cane and the price tag matches what you get. The nose is fruity with molasses and a mix of chocolate and wood. The palate is lightly dry, lightly bitter but well balanced. Wood, licorice, chocolate and cherries are mixed with nice caramel. The finish is long and lightly dry with wood and chocolate.

TenCane is very different from TDL. This one had a very French Oak vibe with a typical acidic not. Not unlike Armagnac/cognac. Wood and dry tannins rule this palate. Some red fruits and cherry pop out. A very chewable dram.

Very nice Ten Cane. Fruity, chocolaty, woody.

Quite intense and powerful. Have as first orange and fresh lemon in the nose, followed by spicy wood. Behind that, a soft sweetness of toffee resonates. The fruit is complemented by sour cherry and tart sweet currant. I also find something slightly floral in the direction of rose. A deep draught reveals some vinegar and dry red wine.Also strong and bitter-salty-dry on the palate, which carries through to the finish. Lemon or lime zest up front and sour cherry behind. He does not reveal much more to me at the moment.The nose is interesting and beautiful, but on the palate too bitter and one-dimensional for me....

Tasted at the 11th GRF and very enthusiastic. Spicy, full of character and simply fun to have in the glass. Too bad Ten Cane was only available for such a short time... Update 27.06.2024: Still a strong bottling! Alcohol could be a little better integrated, but otherwise an exciting bottling. Nice cherry note, plus nice du kle, woody notes, some orange and somehow also some saltiness. Ten Cane should really have enriched the rum world in the long term...

After tasting the rum at the Romdeluxe booth at the 11th GRF, I had to get myself a bottle. Chocolate and cherry. My favorite combination. 😋

Very good Ten Cane! Spicy, chocolaty, creamy. Clear recommendation!

Alcohol and the citrusy bitterness are not so dominant here. Nevertheless, drinking it is not much fun for me.

Typical Ten Cane nose, alcoholic spiciness, and the wonderful aroma of ripe sour cherries and plums.Palate: fruit and sweetness flash briefly and then the cask and cocoa notes take over.The finish is very much on the bitter side.The 2008 Ten Cane bottlings are all very similar after all. This one is one of the most expensive so far - taste-wise there is no reason for it. Very good rum, good Ten Cane but no surprise. Price / performance only moderate.

Initially, it is very restrained on the nose and the alcohol dominates , but after some time in the glass appears the sour cherry and chocolate cocoa aromas spread!On the palate first a short heavy caramel sweetness before the rum spreads creamy and sour cherry again takes the helm! Salty cocoa notes then appear, accompanied by allspice. Metallic also mixes something with...In the Abvang dark chocolaty flavors and long drawn black tea predominate!A very good 2008 Ten Cane

again a very nice 2008 Ten Cane. Very similar to the Duchess Trinidad 13.

A lovely Ten Cane, lots of wood and cocoa. I wouldn’t mind a bottle of this one in my stash.

Great nose in the sour cherry and cocoa dominate.In the mouth it arrives exactly as in the nose, but in addition there is a woody bitterness, which, however, does not override the fruit notes. And I don't know if I've ever drunk such a well-infused 64% before. - Edit: I would not have thought of it myself, but after reading the other reviews I can only confirm the kumquat note in the taste!In the finish, an exciting mixture of cocoa and salt that slowly disappears to expose the underlying bitter barrel notes, balanced by a pleasant sweetness still remain long in the mouth.

Neat Ten Cane without quite that certain something. Alcohol excellently integrated.
