Introducing the Cave Guildive 2012 Ten Cane Trinidad 9yo Rum, a remarkable spirit distilled at the now-defunct Ten Cane Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. This limited-edition rum, aged for 9 years and bottled in 2021, boasts a robust 60% ABV, ensuring a powerful and unforgettable tasting experience. Cave Guildive, known for its dedication to preserving unique rum profiles, brings you this exceptional 700ml bottle that captures the essence of Caribbean craftsmanship. On the nose, the Cave Guildive 2012 Ten Cane Trinidad 9yo is incredibly complex, presenting a symphony of fruity and floral notes. The initial aroma reveals hints of plum and raspberry, intertwined with delicate rose petals and citrusy grapefruit. These are harmoniously complemented by sandalwood, dark chocolate, and a touch of sweet maple syrup and strong mocha. The palate continues to impress with its layered complexity. A slightly salty and bitter entry of grapefruit and sandalwood gives way to rich flavors of dates, mocha, very dark chocolate, and traces of tangerine and rose water. These dynamic tastes evolve rapidly, creating a rich, woody, and smoky profile reminiscent of armagnac and vanilla with an undercurrent of burnt sugar. The finish is equally intriguing, leaving a lasting impression of creamy toffee, spice, and chocolate, enhanced by smoky and fruity undertones. There are also subtle hints of gingerbread and tangerine, making the conclusion as enjoyable as the journey. Although the fruitiness of the nose doesn't entirely carry through to the taste, the alcohol is well integrated, allowing the diverse flavors to shine without being overpowered. Overall, the Cave Guildive 2012 Ten Cane Trinidad 9yo Rum stands out for its unique and evolving character, skillfully balancing floral, smoky, and sweet notes. It's a testament to the innovative spirit of Ten Cane Distillery, making it a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
