After Jamaica's funky ester richness, Cane Island turns its attention to Trinidad, home to some of the Caribbean's most refined column-distilled rums.
Expert Description
Cane Island Trinidad Single Island Blends is a Trinidad Rum, a blend from several Trinidadian distilleries assembled by Cane Island, aged 3 to 5 years in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 40%.
As with the house's other "Single Island" releases, Cane Island sources rum exclusively from distilleries on one specific island, here Trinidad, rather than blending across the region. Trinidad's rum tradition is characterised by light, clean column distillates, a style that gives the rum a softer, more elegant character than its sister product from Jamaica.
The result is a round, lightly spiced rum, where the short to medium ageing in ex-bourbon casks adds a touch of vanilla without overpowering the light distillate character.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Light vanilla, toasted almond and a hint of dried citrus peel.
Palate
Soft and round with caramel, a touch of honey and a light vegetal sweetness from the sugar cane.
Finish
Medium length with warm spice and a dry, clean close.
