Kaniché Réserve Rum

Neat: Cane sugar, caramel, vanilla. Some hot alcohols. Good, not heavy like some rum.

Nose of wood, cherry popsicle, spice, soy sauce, vanilla and banana. Sweet taste of butterscotch, caramel, baking spice, pineapple, banana, vanilla and a slight hint of black pepper.

Sweet on the nares with nuts, fruit, sour candy. Flavor of werther and candy corn, very dessert like!

For a person accustomed to the rank harshness of Bacardi rums (and who assumed she didn't like rum based solely on this experience. I am still learning and have recently found rums that are actually delicious) this is nearly a sipping quality rum. Very little harsh alcohol burn on its own. Sweet, but not cloying. Best from the freezer. Vanilla, caramel notes dominate, with a light smokiness. Mixes well (I am currently enjoying it in a rum flip); an excellent rum for the price.

A lot of alcohol flavor. It's lightly flavored otherwise, like someone put vodka through some wood with butterscotch and spices for a short duration. It tastes way too young and doesn't have a ton of complexity. Definitely not a sipper, but it could be a mixer. There are some definite tropical fruits as well. It isn't enjoyable to sip.
