“Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club some time ago. Compagnie des Indes Caraibes is a blend of rums from Guyana, Barbados and Trinidad. The color is quite pale and I haven’t found anything about aging, but I suppose it’s a quite young rum. I don’t recognize rum from Guyana or Barbados in the blend, so I suppose it’s mostly rum from Trinidad in the blend. Overall it’s too bland for my taste and nothing to write home about.”

“A pastry nose with Grand Marnier and alcohol that's present but not overpowering. A discreet entry on the palate, then a beautiful rise in power, but it quickly subsides. Overripe banana. A longer finish than CDI Latino. A rum marked by orange, or rather Grand Marnier.”

“5:The nose is light from the outset. The molasses takes off quickly rum is even a little smoky, with accents of metal or petroleum. The toasty woodiness gives way to spicy notes of cinnamon, vanilla, clove and pepper. The alcohol that escapes on aeration has something very fruity and a little acidic about it, bringing to mind ripe red fruit. The rum then settles on softer notes of vanilla and buttery caramel... But all very weak and faint! 5,5:On the palate is round, but weak again. Licorice molasses are accompanied by banana and salted butter caramel with some sweet spices of this simple, light palate. 5:The finish we notice molasses with its mild sweetness and a little smoke. Well, a disappointment.”
