Kaniche XO rum is produced in Barbados where it is first aged in bourbon casks. It is one of the few rums that is then double aged for a more mellow finished in Pierre Ferrand ex cognac casks at their location in France.

This is a spiced rum! It tastes like a spiced rum. It tastes like it has so many things added to it to give it flavor, it should be labeled as spiced rum. It's not bad at all (for a spiced rum), but I'll detract a point because of the fraud. This is one time I will agree that the rules and laws for rums should be clarified and standardized. I am disappointed. I feel like I have been duped.
I would recommend it to those who like super sweet spiced rums and flavored rums.

I first encountered this in Arizona at the Total Wine Store. Travis and I were busily looking about for the rum aisle when we heard a voice..."would you like to try a free sample of our new arrival?" YES! The store associate smiled because he knew he just made an easy sale. The double aging process with different barrels seems to be the secret.

Definitely something positively different. Nice flavour that stays with you afterwards.
Great color, definite hints of vanilla and oak, with a tinge of smokiness

Note overly impressed with the nose, but amazingly intense burst of concentrated brown sugar a second after sipping. Not too sweet or spicy, nice to sip.

Now if you enjoys a smooth, slightly sweet rum that has some complexity in the finish and don't want to ration out some high priced exotic, this rum is for you! Straight up is best or on the rocks but don't let the ice melt and water down the wonderful taste.

This rum is a true pleasure to sid down and drink, especially on a nice summerday. I'm a fan!! A lot of tropical fruits, medium sweetness and a light power.
Nose : I find banana, coconut, orange and in general tropical fruits. The rum is really delicious when you stick your nose down into the glass, for just enjoying the lovely notes.
Taste : I find banana, orange, tropical fruits and molasses. The aftertaste is tropical in the beginning, and it get mixed with molasses in the end.

The nose is covered in alcohol. Which leaves me with low expectations.. The taste is free from alcohol, covered in raisins an real mellow. Almost like a light version of the swedish Punch.. And the finish is real long and evolves in many different tones as it slowly leaves you.. Great for a warm evening sip.

A wonderful, sweet rum. Your nose is greeted by molasses and roasted coconut. Give it 10 min in the glass before drinking. The palate has decent body and is fairly smooth and sweet, with caramel, coconut and a nice spicy hint in the end. Slightly unique and surely a crowd pleaser.

Reminds of B13 rum that I tasted so long ago, it has sweetness with traces of anise, not bad at all.

Pro pamětníky: pamatujete ještě na OPRAVDOVÉ Eskymo za padesátník - to malé, dobroučké, bez špejle - z šedesátek a sedmdesátek? Ne ty hnusy, co se dělají pod stejným názvem už čtyřicet let a jsou pořád jen odpornější a odpornější?
Třeba to na tehdy bolševik vozil materiál z Barbadosu...
Kaniché XO (opravdu je to na etiketě s dlouhým É, zatímco na obyčejné Reserve s krátkým) vám tu chuť i vůni připomene. Je lépe nechat ho trochu vydýchat, čímž se rozvoní; v chuti kokos dominuje vždycky. Nesmíte si ovšem představovat nějaký prvoplánovitě ochucený sajrajt typu Malibu - tohle není žádný likérek pro báby, ale poctivá kořalka.
Znáte-li Plantation XO, tak to, co je v něm stran kokosu decentně naznačeno, je zde rozvinuto do astrálních výšin. Bohužel ovšem trochu chybí ta mnohodimensioniální koňakovitost.
Pokud bychom hodnotili rozdíl mezi Plantation Grande Reserve a Plantation XO vs Kaniche Reserve a Kaniche XO, tak je sice velmi podobného charakteru, ale přece jen vyznívá jednoznačně ve prospěch Plantation XO. Nejen pokud jde o daleko důstojnější adjustáž, ale hlavně o poněkud důstojnější obsah.
Přesto si Kaniché XO i za ty peníze určitě ještě někdy zopáknu (protože jsem měl rád to staré Eskymo), navzdory špatně vyrobené a natřené překližkové krabičce, která je jedinou přidanou hodnotou k jinak naprosto stejné láhvi i uzávěru; druh "luxusu", který by si našinec věru s potěšením odpustil. Ovšem Kaniche Reserve nejspíš současně objednám celý karton.
