10 Cane

Rum: 10 Cane
Maker: Moet Hennessy
Country of Origin: Trinidad
Website: www.10cane.com
Suggested Cocktail: The Daiquiri (10 Cane Style)

Packaging & Such-
The Bottle is sleek with a very catchy logo. This would be hard to miss on the shelf next to other well known Rums. This Rum is created from Fresh Cane Juice opposed to Molasses that most Rum is made from.

Appearance-
The Rum isn’t what I would call Golden, Silver or Dark. It has a light Ginger Ale Hugh that you do not see often in commercial Rums.

Nose-
The aroma is sweet and light. You differently get a hint of Lime & Oak in your nose.

First Impression-
The first impression is “Smooth”. The Rum has a light body and a citrus undertone. It has a quality to the crisp after taste that it leaves in your mouth.

Character & Body-
It is Sweet with a Hint of Wood and Citrus on your palate. The Rum shows its cards right off the back. You do not have to dive to deep to get the flavor. The body is lighter than most Golden Rums.

Overall & Finish-
Two thumbs up. This is a premium bottle of Rum. I enjoyed it straight up. I also tried it on the rocks. I would recommend using this Rum mixed in to your favorite cocktail. I feel this is special lighter Rum that benefits from a being married with Juices and freshly muddled Fruit.

Cocktail of Choice-
Perfect 10, Equal Parts 7up & 10 Cane Rum with a Healthy Squeeze of Fresh Lime Juice over Crushed Ice
