10 Cane Rum
by Paul Arthur on Apr.05, 2009, under rum, spirit, white rum
Background: This premium rum is made from first-press sugarcane juice and aged in French oak, making it more akin to rhum agricole or cachaça than to the normal molasses-based rums aged in either ex-bourbon barrels or stainless steel vats.
Nose: Nutmeg and oaky vanilla.
Taste: Vegetal sugar cane and a bit of sweetness. The medium-length finish is oily and has a light oak influence.
Overall: A bit uncomplicated for sipping, but if you’re looking for an alternative to Bacardi Silver for your next mojito you could do worse. Given the nose, this is just crying out to be an ingredient in some rich, creamy eggnog.
