Cane Island Venezuela

Opinions here land in the middle, and most tasters agree it could do more. Coffee, toffee and dark chocolate lead, with vanilla and a raisin edge, but the profile stays sweet and a touch out of balance. Several members wanted more complexity, and a few caught a light burn in the finish — one noted the alcohol isn't fully integrated at 43%. A pleasant, unchallenging Venezuelan sipper.

What are these ratings here?? :) Yeah, it's a bit too sweet, but still within limits, vanilla is noticeable, but also dark chocolate, mocha and cocoa. I find it better than the ratings suggest.

#6452 08.03.2026 Time to run through the samples I brought home from Whiskymessen in Kolding yesterday. This is also a sweet rum but out of balance in all elements. Fruity and sweet with some earthy notes and nuts. There is a light smoky touch to the profile.

Solid sipping Venezuelan rum. Could be a bit more complex. Also a bit sharp unfortunately on the finish, meaning the alcohol could definitely be better integrated. There's definitely potential here as well. Fair price though.

Venezuela 

Avg Rating 7.3/10 over 320 Rums

Venezuela is South America's great rum nation, home to Diplomatico and Santa Teresa, and to one of the strictest aging laws in the world: a minimum of two years, matched only by Cuba. Built from molasses and cane honey, distilled on pot stills and batch kettles, then aged long in solera systems, Venezuelan rum is soft, rich and dessert-like, sometimes openly sweetened, and made in a country whose economy has collapsed around it.
