Most tasters land in the "good, not great" zone, and that fits. This is the dark, heavy side of Trinidad — wood, dark chocolate, coffee and mocha up front, with a run of sour cherry and dried plum keeping it interesting. A few members catch a Caroni-ish dirty edge and even a rye-whisky twang. At 60.7% the heat isn't always tucked away neatly; most say a drop of water helps.

Summarized by AI from 26 community reviews.
Heavy, woody Trinidad sipper with a dirty edge A well-liked but uneven Ten Cane: most enjoy the heavy wood-and-chocolate profile, though several note the alcohol isn't perfectly integrated and a couple find it flat or bitter.

Really nice 2008 Ten Cane! The alcohol is well integrated, and both the nose and the taste remind me strongly of really good rye whisky, spicy, fresh and intense. It has something of freshly baked rye and sourdough bread with sour cherry jam and roasted salty walnuts. Lots of tannins and bitter leather on the finish. I like it, but it could have a little less roasted pumpernickel flavors. The alcohol could also be better integrated.

Good finish. Chocolate palpable. However, alcohol sharpness in the mouth palpable.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting:After some time in the glass, the alcohol is no longer so disturbing. I relativize my rating but still (-4).This Ten Cane goes strongly in the direction of Caroni, in the nose still the familiar profile of Ten Cane with the almond and sour cherry aromas. But on the palate it really takes off: a lot of wood, nuts in between, the alcohol is very present, a lot of dark chocolate and lots of coffee and machine oil. The finish becomes more differentiated again with walnut, almonds and red fruits.Not the best, but a very good Ten Cane with a dirty side. And I am again intrigued by the sour cherry notes!
Review by Timo Groeger
A pretty good CdI. A bit too alcoholic on the nose. Otherwise you still have slight notes of caramel and tobacco on the nose. On the palate then wood, barrel, coffee and dark chocolate. Overall quite okay.
Review by Joachim Guger
Beautiful nose. Very light Caroni touch, fruity. The 61% is well integrated. In the mind then massive tannins and furry, then the pleasure decreases a bit. Finish rather short.
Review by Galli33
Till today Ten Cane was more like an underdog for me, due to the samples i‘ve tried so far! But this one is a bomb and by far the best one i‘ve tried so far. I enjoyed this a lot, due all the wonderfull notes and complexity. The alcohol is well noted, but i think at the it has a big influence on the outcome 🥃
Review by Thunderbird
A TDL that comes more from the dark heavy side. In the nose initially still some fruit (sour cherry), he then changes with something fresh in the spicy leathery corner.creamy he spreads on the palate and comes strongly with wood, dark chocolate, mocha, nut and spicy notes therefore! Something prune I also taste out!The finish is medium long with almost identical flavors!I like very much!
Review by Lukas Jäger
When opening the sample, I was really excited about what awaits me here. The very first impression, even before pouring went for me in the direction of Jamaica, perhaps a good EMB, plus some dirt, which is so typical of some distilleries in Trinidad. After tasting, I must unfortunately conclude: This is times nix! Alcoholic, very woody-bitter, here my impression of the fluctuating quality of Ten Cane is unfortunately confirmed. From really tasty to really not to use I had now already everything. Very sad, but so seen a small consolation, since I otherwise actually regret that Ten Cane was open only so briefly!
Review by mto75
Intense nose, with red fruits, barrel, caramel. Also nice spicy notes. On the palate coffee, toasted barrel, completed by a nice caramel sweetness. Good representative of the 2008 vintage (although there is still some room for improvement).
Review by TheRhumhoe
Ten Cane stays on its rich and opulent framework with this bottling, especially with its heavy nose on fruits (raisins, cherry, and morello cherry) and spicy wood, then notes of leather and coffee before opening up with fresh tobacco leaves. The profile is pleasant but lacks a bit of depth, we remain on a gourmand heaviness on the surface. On the palate, the profile is ultra heavy and creamy with lots of red and dried fruits, spices, wood, leather, coffee, mocha, dark chocolate with lots of cocoa, and caramel. The profile is both bitter and very indulgent, with rich flavors and a very pleasant oily and concentrated side on the palate. The alcohol is well integrated, even if it is a bit drowned overall. The finish is not very lively but leaves the bitterness of cocoa and caramel in the background, always accompanied by red and dried fruits. The profile darkens with spices, leather, coffee, and tannins. A good bottling that will delight lovers of indulgence with a bit of punch, a memory of a fleeting distillery.

Review by Buddudharma
Neat Ten Cane, but alcohol integration is not optimal here either.
Review by Johannes
Alcohol not well integrated, relatively flat in taste.
Review by Casper Jensen
The distillery apparently no longer exists. Could maybe use a drop of water.
