Brown sugar, vanilla and a soft woody backbone lead here, with the black-cane juice giving a distinctive sweet, jammy edge you don't often get in an aged agricole. Cognac-cask time adds cherry and cocoa. Most tasters find it rounded and easy, "facile à boire," and gently sweet. The recurring gripe: it's a touch soft, and some wish it hit harder than its 45% suggests.
The community says- Balanced and rounded
- Black-cane character
- Keep in mind: Short finish

How does Bologne Old Black Cane (100% Canne Noire) taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Rounded, sweet aged agricole from black cane Well-liked as a balanced, gourmand aged agricole with real black-cane character. Most call it rounded and easy; the common catch is a short finish and a slight lack of power.

EDIT: Nice masterclass at the Trou à Rhum in Arras - April 2024. Nose: woody through and through, a little cherry, the ex cognac/raison side comes through. Palate: woody, but above all red fruit, more cherry syrup, Finish: good intensity, good balance Comments: I really missed it at the live whisky, what a mistake! I clearly could have bought this bottle.

Bologne Old Black Cane is like the name says made from black cane. It’s a blend aged between 3 and 6 years in French oak barrels that have previously contained cognac before bottled. Overall a good Agricole as all rum from the Bologne distillery is.
Review by Timo Groeger
La Route des Rhums Advent Calendar 2022 No. 8. great piece, I hadn't expected it to be like this. Nice woody nose, also chocolate and vanilla. The palate also has a nice armchair in the form of cocoa, dark chocolate and vanilla. Strong.
Review by Vincent D
To be re-tested under better conditions, but I really enjoyed it. I found a cane taste rare in aged rums, which blended well with the woody structure in which vanilla and fruit mingle. Very nice.
Review by Louis Zimmermann
A very pleasant tasting: this Bologne reveals a particularly indulgent profile. The notes of vanilla and brown sugar evoke a delicious pastry, while the wood remains present from start to finish. In short, a great success!
Review by Eric Frechin
I really liked the Bologne blanc black canne and was curious to see how the aged one was. You find the taste of that cane, it's rather indulgent with a discreet woodiness. It lacks a bit of exuberance and length, but it remains a good product.

Review by TheRhumhoe
Bologne experiments with aging its famous white made only from black cane, and the result is a nice surprise. The nose shows tropical fruits (pineapple) and citrus (lime, orange), bordered by spices (vanilla, chili) and notes of candied sugarcane and a honeyed sweetness. The vegetal influence is limited here, letting the woodiness blend perfectly into the nose. It's very pleasant and balanced. The attack on the palate relies on the same balance, between the roundness of the profile and the youth's vigor. The fruits are less present, but the sweeter notes of pastries, honey and juicy sugarcane bring exquisite roundness on the palate. In addition to a syrupy and indulgent texture, chocolate, almonds and vanilla add flavors that pair well with the wood and some floral notes present. The alcohol is very well integrated, you feel some vigor despite the reduction. The finish is well made, rather dry compared to the rest of the profile. Spices and vegetal notes are a bit more present, but the fruits haven't said their last word in this lovely final bouquet, where crème brûlée and burnt sugar soften an intense finish. A superb profile, at a good quality/price ratio.

Surprisingly tasty black cane!
Review by alex
Blind tasting of the advent calendar #1. On the nose and taste, I didn't think of this at all. I definitely found the notes of vanilla, fruits, exotic, a little hint of orange and cocoa, a little herbal side. It's well made, and the alcohol is very well integrated.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Model of balance for an aged agricole in this price range under 60€.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
This rum did not impress me much, probably too watered down for me. I prefer its white counterpart!
Review by Nicofr
A very good surprise this agricole rum made from black cane. Which is not common. It pairs well with the barrel aging. The woody taste is well present with a fruity and vanilla hint.
Review by Morgan Garet
To be tasted more calmly but it's very very good!
Review by Fabrice Rouanet
Nice discovery, better on the palate than on the nose with a beautiful softness and medium length.
Review by Djehey
Nice little rum, you can still feel a certain freshness with a well-executed work.

Review by ChristophFFM
Very round and balanced. Light and pleasantly chocolaty. The chocolate is stronger than the green, herbal note of an Agricole, which remains here in the background without disturbing. Could stand a little more percent.
Review by JonasTh
Interesting taste
Review by Solidfunk
Initial smell of apricot and caramel. Cognac and cherry in the mouth but the latter is light. I get a hint of cocoa, raspberry. Has a stronger vibe than you'd expect from the 45%. Pours deep golden. Slight note of burning cigarette at the end. Sample shared by Yaro.
Review by Johann Se
One of the best maturations I've experienced so far. Even the Blanc is really well made: rather elegant and with very clearly worked out tropical fruit notes. All the more amazing how well these aromas are preserved during maturation. At the same time, much more depth, spice, and complexity develop, without the original distillate disappearing under the cask. But at the same time, the recognizable notes are slightly changed. Especially with a rather fine distillate, I find that unusual.
Review by Youn
Rum aged between 3 and 6 years in oak barrels. Made exclusively from black canes and distilled by column. Rum whose length on the palate remains short but whose smells and tastes are of brown sugar, vanilla, and cocoa. The whole is well-rounded and pleasant!
Review by Mc Pirate
Nose not very expressive and alcoholic mouth, short finish, would need to taste it again to appreciate it.
Review by laudhar
I already liked the white well. The old one is also very pleasant. Rather consensus and easy to drink. Maybe a bit lacking in power for my taste.
Review by Clement Mougel
Its sweetness. Harmonious rum.

Tasted blind in the 2022 advent calendar. Classic nose, good Palate: wood, simple, nothing more
