CDI Ten Cane Trinidad (Ping 15) 2009
One reviewer called it the best Trinidad rum he'd had outside Caroni, and you can taste why: raspberry and dried fruit run into toasted cask, cinnamon, baking spice and a dry, slightly bitter tannic finish. At 61.7% the alcohol hits hard up front, then settles. Most agree it needs water and 15 minutes of rest to really open. Spicy, woody and properly complex.
- Raspberry and dried fruit
- Spice and oak depth
- Evolves in the glass

How does CDI Ten Cane Trinidad (Ping 15) 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Spicy, woody cask-strength with red fruit A real surprise from a closed distillery — heaps of spice, wood and red fruit with a dry, bitter edge. Not an easy sipper, and that bitterness puts some people off.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one has to be rested for at least 15 minutes to release its full potential. A masterpiece from the now closed Ten Cane Destillery. The wonderful nose is a perfect match to the palate and out of this world. I wonder why this destillery closed because they know how to make rum..... Darn..... I'd say the price is extremely low compared to the quality of this rum.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Große Überraschung! Abseits von Caroni und dem RA TDL vermutlich der beste Rum aus Trinidad, den ich bisher probiert habe! Enorm viel Gewürz und Holz liefern eine spannende Bitternote, zu der sich getrocknete Früchte gesellen. Im Abgang bleibt ein trockener und bitterer, aber angenehmer Eindruck zurück. Kein Easy-Sipper, aber eine klasse Abfüllung aus dem Hause CDI! Einzigartig, das gefällt!
Review by Frank
Wow, der Alkohol ist am Anfang ordentlich heftig, dann aber kommt er sehr fruchtig. Traube und rote sowie duftende tropische Früchte, getrocknete Aprikose und Zitrusmarmelade. Veilchen. Herbe Süße von Ahornsirup und karamellisiertem Zucker. Würzig-holzig ist er auch. Die Nase gefällt mir sehr gut. Intensiv fruchtig-würzig am Gaumen. Wieder Traube, deutlich Himbeere und etwas leicht bittere Zitrusschale. Auch wieder herb-süß wie Ahornsirup. Hinzu kommt etwas grünes, grasiges, vielleicht etwas Olive. Tolles Geschmacksprofil. Gefällt.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
As expected, it adds a good bit to the drinking strength, but not as much as I would have expected.raspberry, sandalwood, cinnamon, rose, raisin, clove, maple syrup and lots of barrel and wood on the nose.On the palate, the raspberry continues, plus furry mango, lots of barrel, lots of cinnamon, lots of baking spice, some rose and in the finish neat tannins and it becomes discreetly astringent. at the end, the mango and rose comes through again nicely. tasty but not perfect!
Review by Werni
Leckerer Tropfen mit langem würzigen Abgang.👍🏻
Review by Snorre Brouer
Exceptional rum, which is a much try, if you like other Ten Cane bottlings - this one is by far the best there is, and considering the secondary market price for the Wild Series Ten Cane bottling, this is a steal. Very complex and well integrated alcohol with a mild burning on the tongue. When I pour a dram of this, I can use hours to consume it, because it's such an interesting rum to "explore" and see how it evolves. There is slightly bitternes over it, which I dislike and therefore it isn't a 90+ rum for me.
Review by mto75
finally the highly praised Ping 15 in the glass (many thanks to Eugen!). The red fruits are there, but not as intense as in the 2008s, but very round and rather sweet towards raspberries / blackberries and cream candy. After some standing time, I also imagine Fanta / orange soda. Toasted barrel, caramel and mocha on the palate. The Ping 15 knows how to please, just by its balance!
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good Ten Cane! Nice complexity with mint, strawberry, wood.
