Opinions genite: some call this "flüssiger Schwarzwälder Schinken" and love the audacity, others just find it too much. It's a fat-washed rum that smells and tastes like a smoky BBQ — bacon, grilled ribs, roasted char, a bit of pepper. Underneath there's faint vanilla and a citrus edge if you let it breathe. Not a rum you drink casually.
The community says- Bold BBQ smoke

How does CDI Boulet de Canon 9 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Smoky bacon-and-BBQ rum experiment A polarizing meat-smoke experiment. Bacon and BBQ fans are delighted; others find it salty, overpowering and eventually cloying. Nearly everyone agrees it's worth trying once.

Wow what a bomb! You feel like you’re next to a BBQ thanks to the Fat Wash technique used with BBQ meat fat. Extremely well balanced, staying true to rum markers. Great success!

Almost harmless after Boulet's 11. On the nose, of course, smoky, toasty, bacony. You can definitely smell the sweet, aromatic fat. But there is also some vanilla and a slight hint of lemon (almost like washing-up liquid). There is also some old tobacco. Also strongly smoky, bacony and roasted on the palate. A little peppery and slightly caraway, but also with a vegetal sweetness of red bell pepper. I also find some tobacco. All in all, something you don't need, but which is definitely appealing to try.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
liquid Black Forest ham to drink, extremely round and palatable and definitely a great thing for all meat lovers. makes a mega bacon old fashioned and is absolutely not suitable for vegans 🤣🤤🥓🐖🔥🍖🥩 definitely one of my favorite boulets so far! 😍 But you really have to be up for it🤣

#7291 13.09.2026 Running a few samples after my bike training to try and loosen up my stiff legs. Watching the TV series The Last Woodsmen. This one wasn't really me, but we can't always win, someone will like it. Intense profile with spice, roasted wood, herbs, nuts, caramel, bacon, medium sweet, smoke, salt and a dry palate.
Review by Vincent D
Extreme, as expected. The experience and discovery are nice but I wonder what I would do with a bottle of this meat-smoked flavored rum. It's salty, very smoky, and inevitably cloying after a while.
Review by Tim
Wow, very special rum. Who threw bacon and charred wood into the barrel :-) The smoky aromas mask a lot. Here and there some caramel and vanilla come through, but otherwise it seems like an experiment. Not really my cup of tea.

Review by Oliver
Crazy experiment. Personally, too extreme for me.
Review by Wernie
Wild experiment, you have to like it, it's not my thing. If you let it breathe longer, a few citrus aromas come through.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Bacon, bacon, smoke and bacon. If you like Black Forest ham, smoked beer or smoky whiskies, you'll probably enjoy this. For me, unfortunately nothing at all, although I basically like the idea and courage to try new things.
Review by Christian Rudt
Is this rum necessary? No. Should you try it at least once? Yes. The range in rum or rum-based spirits is just huge. Best example here, even if it can't fully convince me.

Heavily smoked undefined alcohol
Review by Jacques etdom
Disconcerting rum (in a good way). Smoky, grilled meat, even ribs come through. I really liked it, especially the boldness to offer such a product, which moreover is very successful.
Review by DaMan
A nectar with a somewhat unusual flavor. Peat lovers, this one is made for you.
Review by Elodie Anthony Moriseau Lopez
