World Rum Day is approaching. Two houses. One collaboration.

Cask Series #9: Ten Cane 2008 | Trinidad | 51.2% vol.

Distilled in Trinidad in 2008, this Ten Cane Rum comes from a distillery whose life was brief, but whose ambition was clear.

Established in 2005, Ten Cane Distillery was created to explore a different expression of Trinidadian Rum, using locally sourced, fresh‑pressed sugar cane juice rather than molasses. The name itself reflects the concept: the idea that it takes ten stalks of cane to produce a single bottle.
The project was backed by Moët Hennessy: a purpose‑built distillery was constructed, with first‑pressed cane juice fermented and double‑distilled in an alembic pot still.

While Ten Cane Distillery’s early releases were matured briefly in French oak, the cask presented here followed a different path. This Rum spent seven years ageing in Trinidad, gaining depth while preserving the clarity that defined the distillery’s intent.

The nose opens with immediate sugar cane character, supported by the freshness of lime zest and grapefruit. Notes of green apple and light tropical fruit follow. As the Rum settles, gentle florals appear alongside soft vanilla and restrained oak.

On the palate, the profile is crisp and well defined. Cane juice sweetness is balanced by lively citrus and light stone fruit. Subtle notes of white pepper, fresh herbs and lightly toasted wood provide structure, keeping the profile focused and precise.

The finish is clean and medium in length, slightly drying, with lingering citrus, soft spice and a clear grassy cane note.

Ten Cane closed less than a decade after it was established. What remains today is a limited reminder of the distillery’s clear identity.

Cask Series #8: MFR15 - 2007/03 – Spain - 52,3% vol.

Among the many casks resting in our warehouse, this one tells a quieter story of patience and place. Distilled at Aldea Distillery in Spain in 2007, the Rum spent its first 15 years ageing at origin, shaped by the local climate and steady conditions of maturation. After its arrival in the UK, further ageing under more temperate conditions allowed the spirit to settle and integrate.

On first inspection, the profile is open and clear. Fresh sugar cane leads, followed by banana and pineapple, lifted by a gentle touch of citrus. Give it a moment in the glass and softer notes emerge: vanilla, light oak and a subtle warmth that reflects the long years in wood.

On the palate, the Rum is balanced and steady. Cane sweetness and tropical fruit are joined by caramel and light toffee. Oak provides structure without dominance, while a restrained herbal note keeps the profile focused and precise.

The finish is medium in length and warming, showing vanilla, soft spice and a lingering slightly grassy cane character.

Overall, this is a clear and honest expression, one that shows the influence of extended ageing at origin, complemented by careful time in the UK. Throughout, the character of Aldea remains recognizable and intact.
