FRC Captain Cane
One taster nailed it: gummy bananas and vanilla pudding powder in a glass. This is a very sweet, spiced rum-based spirit — thick, creamy caramel, toffee and coconut up front, with a candy edge most people call artificial. Sweet-tooth drinkers happily reach for it again; anyone chasing real distillery character walks away disappointed.

How does FRC Captain Cane taste?
Aggregated from 44 community reviews.
Very sweet, candy-like dessert sipper Loved by sweet-rum fans, dismissed by everyone else. Nearly all agree it's extremely sweet with an artificial coconut-vanilla note; the catch is there's little actual rum showing through.

Review by Lutz Lungershausen
Beim Flensburg Rum Convent 2023 probiert, jetzt endlich mal das Sample ins Glas gekippt Erster Eindruck: dickflüssig, karamellig, sehr süß, künstlich Nase: Karamell, Toffee, Banane, süß, süß, süß Gaumen: Alkohol, verkohlt, süß, Rum? Abgang: kurz, unbeeindruckend Gesamteindruck: übertrieben süße, karamellige Nase, am Gaumen fragt man sich, welcher Rest Rum dafür Hops gehen musste. Dafür mag ich nur unter 5 vergeben, weil selbst Captain Morgan runder ist. Sorry, da hilft auch das Recyclingglas nix.
Review by MJ72
Vanille dominiert, etwas Frucht, angenehm süß. Leichter Rum auch zum Pur trinken
Review by Frank
I simply picked it up as a sample at HanseSpirit. Clearly: this is not my cup of tea! Flavored, sweetened and reduced to 40%. But I'm not the target group for this rum-based spirit. Let me taste it objectively. Nose: oh yes, sugary sweet and blatantly intense pineapple with coconut. But rather intensely artificial with a hint of passion fruit. Piña colada from the supermarket. Plus lots of vanilla, caramel and a hint of cinnamon. Also reminds me strongly of a caramel pudding, very creamy and creamy. It's more like a liqueur than a round rum. 24 Palate: I haven't had anything this sweet in a glass for a long time. Thick, but also soft and creamy sugar syrup with candied pineapple, coconut chips and vanilla. But again, it all seems very artificial. Unfortunately, there's not much more to it than that. At least it doesn't seem watered down, despite the low ABV. 22 For sweet rum lovers, this is certainly a nice digestif. For those like me, it's more of a horror. But better than DP, even if only minimally 😜.
Review by Thorstein
Sehr süß und weich. Angenehm zu trinken, allerdings nicht zu komplex.

#4572 26-27.01.2024 Hanse Spirit OK, this one was an instant regret. A mixture of sugar and Christmas spices. To me sweet with sweet on it and then add some sugar just because you can. Cheap rum but not a rum in my mind. Got a bit on my fingers and I think you can use it as simple glue ☺️ Brought home a sample to someone I know likes this kind of rum.
Review by Rumpalumpa
in der Nase das, was man von vielen Spiced Rums kennt. Insbesondere Kokos, Ananas, Banane. Weniger chemisch als viele andere. Am Gaumen natürlich süß und Gummibärchen. Für Freunde dieser Art von Rum sicherlich zu empfehlen.
Review by Die Rum entdecker
Zu aromatisiert und süß.
Review by Gregor
Viel süß und das Kokosaroma ist viel zu künstlich. Genauso auch die vanille. Schade habe von Kirsch mehr erwartet. Muss man nicht unbedingt probiert haben. Keine wirklichen destillateigennoten. Schade
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
