Sips easy neat or over ice, but most people treat it as an uncomplicated everyday pour. It's light and pale, with tropical fruit, raisin, vanilla and a touch of smoke over a soft, sweetened body. One taster called it a "light entry-level blend," and that's the honest read: pleasant, a little thin, and a good first step for showing someone rum can be more than supermarket bottles.

How does CDI Caraibes taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Light, sweet, easy entry-level sipper Most find it a mild, sweet-fruity sipper that goes down easily, but many call it thin with a short finish. Fine for beginners; enthusiasts want more depth.

Fruity, ripe, balanced. The nose couldn't be a better introduction to rum. Some malt, various fruits, a hint of smoke. Sweet start in the mouth, then a ripe fruit basket, a spicy middle and a warm finish with raisins and overripeness. Incredibly mild, and hard to believe it wasn't sweetened. You want to explain to someone as gently as possible that rum is more than supermarket stuff? Give them this one.

5:The nose is light from the outset. The molasses takes off quickly rum is even a little smoky, with accents of metal or petroleum. The toasty woodiness gives way to spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla, clove and pepper. The alcohol that escapes on aeration has something very fruity and a little acidic about it, bringing to mind ripe red fruit. The rum then settles on softer notes of vanilla and buttery caramel... But all very weak and faint! 5,5:On the palate is round, but weak again. Licorice molasses are accompanied by banana and salted butter caramel with some sweet spices of this simple, light palate. 5:The finish we notice molasses with its mild sweetness and a little smoke. Well, a disappointment..
Review by Stefan Persson
Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club some time ago. Compagnie des Indes Caraibes is a blend of rums from Guyana, Barbados and Trinidad. The color is quite pale and I haven’t found anything about aging, but I suppose it’s a quite young rum. I don’t recognize rum from Guyana or Barbados in the blend, so I suppose it’s mostly rum from Trinidad in the blend. Overall it’s too bland for my taste and nothing to write home about.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Note: Employment at Perola GmbH (spirits industry), partial professional involvement with evaluated bottlings. All reviews are my personal, unpaid opinion. Relaxed beginner sipping rum. Overall harmonious and tasty to drink but also no highlight. 15g dosage helps the rum and makes it more accessible. I think the Latino brings more to the table here.

#6989 04.07.2026 Relaxing with some samples after a tough day both walking and biking for a change. Listening to some nice tracks by Rapid Eye, Markus Schulz, Funk Tribu, Anyma and Amelie Lens on Spotify. This is a very cheap mixer in my mind. Fruity profile with some sugarcane, spices and light roasted wood.
Review by Eugene227
An uncomplicated blend that stands out mainly for tropical fruits, dried fruits, vanilla, and spices. The profile is complemented by some smoke and wood. It's easy to drink but feels quite thin at 40%. A pleasant entry-level rum, but not a particularly sophisticated sipper.
Review by cigares
A pastry nose with Grand Marnier and alcohol that's present but not overpowering. A discreet entry on the palate, then a beautiful rise in power, but it quickly subsides. Overripe banana. A longer finish than CDI Latino. A rum marked by orange, or rather Grand Marnier.
Review by Tim
I would have guessed fruity influences from Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, but everything is very subdued. Actually a blend from Guyana, Barbados, and Trinidad. Especially in the mouth and finish very thin and light. You can rate the rum as pleasant, but it's not good.
Review by MarcT
A light entry-level blend, unfortunately sweetened. Citrus and flowery aromas I attribute to the Trinidad component, the slightly bitter note to Guyana. The Citrus is quite dominant, but not to the level of certain artificially flavored products.
Review by JonasTh
Tastes alcoholic.
Review by Timo Groeger
A sweet-fruity rum that I quite liked. Goes down easily. I find a relatively short finish. For a mid-range rum definitely okay. Wouldn't buy a bottle, but great for tasting.
Review by Johannes
Round, balanced, a bit thin. The dosage is not disturbing, not too sweet.
Review by Gregor
For me unfortunately too short and too diluted
Review by Knie
...light drop, you can drink every day, but you do not have to...too expensive for what is offered.
Review by Claes Nilsson
Nice rum if you want a sipper that is not complex and a little sweet
Review by Daniel
Nose: Raisin, fruity and slightly smoky aromas and sweetness.Palate: Fruity (raisin
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Pleasant rum, but i prefer my rums a bit more aged. Finish is still quite long. Quite dry on the palate. After having revisited this rum, during a tasting with several CDIs, I found that this rum does hold up quite well despite the low ABV and the added cane syrup. But maybe it is due to that these other CDIs are rather a disappointment.
Review by Simon Mathias Kaspersen
Strong taste! Not sweet.
Review by Rosenbech
Light alcohol, light sweetness, lovely round in taste - there are notes of barrel and chocolate. It is a really good rum for beginners and light intermediates in the rum world.
Review by Fayaman971
A rum blend doesn't inspire much confidence in me but I must admit that Compagnie des Indes is strong for this type of rum. So, a rather simple and sweet rum than the Caribbean one and easy to drink. It is slightly fruity and spicy so the bottle doesn't last long lol. But for me, it's a rum to drink in cocktails.
Review by Winetrader
Pleasant rum, flattering and very easy to approach. Nice balance
