Venezuela – The Lone Caner
http://thelonecaner.com/category/rum-reviews/venezuela
A Solo Reviewer's Take on Rums. Ron Cacique Antiguo – Review. Supposedly more premium, but not a whole lot better than the 500. Here’s a poster child of why a rum reviewer has to have the beady-eyed practicality of a jaded streetwalker. Age, style, marketing, pamphlets, labels, word of mouth, all count for nothing, and all is evaluated without recourse to what anyone else says. After reviewing the 35 Cacique 500. As well as the Veroes Añejo. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window). On November 1...

http://thelonecaner.com/category/the-makers
A Solo Reviewer's Take on Rums. La Confrérie du Rhum Millésime 2007 Martinique (HSE) – Review. A lovely, supple rhum from the French island. La Confrérie du Rhum’s Martinique Extra Vieux (as labelled), a 2007 millésime rhum bottled at a forceful 52.2% had darker notes reminding me of the Damoiseau 1989. Es Ti’Arrangé de Céd (March 2015), Longueteau (June 2015), La Favorite (December 2015) and this one. With just the slightest bit of vegetals, lemongrass and sugar cane juice. They were crisp notes tha...

Trinidad & Tobago – The Lone Caner

A Solo Reviewer's Take on Rums. Companie des Indes Caraïbes – Review. Lack of oomph and added sugar make it a good rum for the unadventurous general market. Your appreciation and philosophy of rum can be gauged by your reaction to Compagnie des Indes. I know many makers in the past have done blends of various islands’ rums — Ocean’s Atlantic.

Opinion – The Lone Caner
http://thelonecaner.com/opinion
A Solo Reviewer's Take on Rums. These are my own ideas, and my own thoughts. It’s inevitable that some of these essays will draw occasional fire and criticism, but the idea is simply to air out some issues I feel worth commenting on (much like the NAS imbroglio of the whisky world). NB: As far as possible I have tried and will try to adhere to a personal creed best expressed as follows:. You have no right to an uninformed opinion. The Labelling of Rums. In Defense of Rum Bloggers. Click to share on Googl...

Ron Veroes Añejo – Review – The Lone Caner
http://thelonecaner.com/ron-veroes-anejo-review
A Solo Reviewer's Take on Rums. Ron Veroes Añejo – Review. Frankly, I get more excitement looking for the keys in my pocket. In a 2015 interview with GotRum Magazine. It was stated that there were no inclusions and additions whatsoever in the Añejo, so we were certainly getting a pure rum here. I should mention, that there are some discrepancies in various online materials regarding its true ageing:. Industries Bravo, a distributor in Venezuela, says it’s 4 years old.

Velier Caroni 1996 Heavy Full Proof Rum – Review – The Lone Caner
http://thelonecaner.com/velier-caroni-1996-heavy-full-proof-rum-review
A Solo Reviewer's Take on Rums. Velier Caroni 1996 Heavy Full Proof Rum – Review. A brooding, dark exemplary Caroni with a slightly jagged ending. This rum from Velier. Quite recently). Frankly, I worry this may be the sad case of there being too much of a good thing. They are all very good, you understand, but finding a favourite among so many expressions that are actually quite similar is a job for someone with deeper pockets and a more discerning schnozz than mine.

La Favorite 1990 Rhum Vieux – The Lone Caner
http://thelonecaner.com/rumaniacs-008
A Solo Reviewer's Take on Rums. La Favorite 1990 Rhum Vieux. This gold rhum derives from pot still, issued at 40% in 1990. One wonders why they didn’t keep it longer, if the year was such a good one. And what’s with the cheap tinfoil cap? Colour – Amber-Dark Gold. Finish – Medium short and warm, not dry at all. Some of that saltiness continues, but mostly wax and lemon and some unsweetened caramel. Thoughts – Unusual, in a good way. Really a lot of flavour here. This is one of those times I...Click to sh...
