Reviewers keep landing on the same picture: heavy red wine, cognac, burnt honey and dark spice, with a distinct "technical" edge that builds toward the finish. Aged 16 years and bottled at 62%, it's woody and full, with cherries and red fruit up front before oak, black pepper and a bit of bitterness take over. From a now-closed Trinidad distillery, so it won't come around again.

Most helpful positive review
An interesting technical rum from the closed TenCane distillery formerly owned by LVMH (Moet Hennessy). Right after smelling it, the aroma evokes heavy red wine, cognac, spices, burnt honey. On the palate, burnt honey, red fruits, heavy spices, harsh red wine come out again. All rounded off with technical notes that come out more on the finish.

Very strong rum with a wild aura. On the nose fermented fruits, dark spices and a slightly dirty note appear. On the palate powerful and bitter, accompanied by distinct bitterness that makes the profile seem somewhat unbalanced. The finish is long, dry and spicy, but remains marked by the bitterness. A rum with strong character, but for me not completely harmonious.
Review by Filip Kalinovský
Highly pleasant and beautiful rum, technically loaded scent, lots of wood I would say even burnt with a big dose of spices. And that color ❤️ Taste of burnt oak, cognac, herbs – that surprised me quite a bit, slight sharpness like freshly bitten pepper. Definitely will come back to it later for a re-taste.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2008. With 8.3 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
Review by Tomas Hajlich
Colour beautiful mahogany. Aroma technical, very pleasant for me. Lovely heavy flavour, the colour suggests wood and there is a pleasant smell. This is a rum to my taste, heavy and woody with a long finish. Someone said it transitions to agricole easily and maybe it does but only in a positive way. It's my first Ten Cane so I can't compare but the success in flavor for me is like RS Appleton 2007. SUPER!
Review by Miloš Gruškovský St
Very pleasant rum, darker to mahogany color, with a nose of gentle sweetness complemented by cherries and cognac. On the palate again initial sweetness of cane, cherries alternate with a gradual transition to technical notes followed by stronger woodiness with spiciness up to peppery sharpness.
