Review by Righrum
This is one of the gems hidden in the rum world. A weird one indeed, but really pleasant. On the nose, cherries and chocolate (Mon Chery anyone? Or it is an Italian only treat?), but also varnish and paint, plus a metallic note. Drink side, might be a car repair shop, dust and metal, some woodiness and astringency. Not an easy one, nor a rum you can drink everyday, but wow, a great one
Review by Djehey
Very pleasant: intense yet airy. On tangy red fruits with lovely woody aromas.

Nez : fuits confits/floral/épices/métallique Bouche liquoreuse : chocolat/épices/mûre/vernis Longue finale expressive : pruneaux/chocolat noir/réglisse J’aime vraiment bien ce jus. Encore une belle sélection de L’Esprit. Je vais essayer de m’intéresser un peu plus à cette distillerie …
Review by ilRummista
Naso leggermente alcolico, meglio lasciarlo 15 minuti ad ossigenare nel bicchiere. Finale alla liquirizia maestoso!
Review by Filip Šikula
Z počátku silný alkohol v nose. Po 20ti minutách ustoupí koření a kovové dílně. V chuti potom silné dřevo, kandované ovoce, a teochu technického laku. Co je na rumu opravdu zapamatovatelné je opravdu intenzivní závěr, který až po několika vteřinách pustil do popředí lékořici. Moc příjemné.
Review by kargoles
Un rhum tres plaisant bien que quelque note d’ alcool qui s’estompe avec un peu d’aeration. Un bon gout de fruit confit, raisin sec et mure prene le pas sur le vernis tres plaisant. Une longueur sympatique toujours sur les fruit rouge confir avec un léger goût métallique
Review by Jakob
Viel Tiefe, eine kaum dekomponierbare Melange aus Fassnoten, Tee, Eukalyptus und eingekochten Früchten sowie dunklen Gewürzen. Intensiv, ohne extrem komplex zu werden; langweilig wird es in meinen Augen dennoch nicht. Sehr interessant, Ten Canes werden für mich zunehmend zu kleinen Wundertüten - durchaus im positiven Sinne.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Puhh... Grundsätzlich aromatisch gesehen ein guter ten cane aber der Alkohol ist hier dermaßen schlecht eingebunden das es echt anstrengend ist hier nach Aromen zu suchen. Lange atmen lassen hilft hier leider auch nicht. Es bleibt hauptsächlich der Geschmack von verbranntem Plastik, sorry. Nachtrag: bei 2. Verkostung kommt eine schöne toffee Beeren süße dazu, daher leichte Verbesserung der Bewertung.
