Kaniche Perfeccion

Top quality rum with a taste of cognac. If that's how you roll then this is for you. No impurities to cloud the flavor. Previous reviews on the nose, taste and finish have been spot on. This is certainly one I'll buy again!

Very smooth! No bite at all. Not sweet but not bland either. Has the right aromatic smell of rum and cognac. Always looking forward to the next sip!

Right from the bottle, this has a soothing, butterscotch taste. This is leaps and bounds better than some of the other rums I've tried.

This is like a deeper, richer, dryer version of the Kaniche XO, which I already thought was a great rum. Everything seems to have been tweaked just a bit in all the right ways leaving you with this absolutely masterful tropical cocktail-in-a-bottle!
Nose- That typical Kaniche core of tropical fruit (pineapple, dried mango), christmas spice and coconut. The usual molasses is replaced with a burnt toffee, giving off a darker vibe that plays nicely with the over all medicinal-ness of the nose. Definitely dryer than other Kaniche's, but still with an underlying sweetness.
Palette- This rum has all kinds of wonderful things that you never thought would go together! Coconut, orange zest, olive brine and aloe, with huge hits of christmas spice and molasses! There is a definite sweetness here, so if you think added sugars are the work of the devil, you may be upset. Then again, if you're that much of a purist, hopefully you can appreciate the rest of the quality in this work of art enough that you can look past that. The flavors all play together seamlessly and then just seem to go on and on, making it difficult to tell where the palette ends and the finish begins!
Finish- All of those great flavors from before slowly morph into even more tropical, rummy goodness, bringing out mango (tommy) peel, more baking spice, and a nice, sweet campfire smoke. The finish then sticks around for minutes, carrying a nice thick texture.
To top it all off, this rum is smooth as, without even a hint of a burn as it goes down. Though that said, it does bring that delightful warming sensation to your entire upper body.
This is just EXCELLENT rum!! I honestly cannot think of a single thing I would change. Thank you, and good on you Maison Ferrand. Good on you.

I love rum, hands down. I have tried low rated, low price rums to over priced and high rated rums. No less than 3 bottles in the house at any given moment. I have been loving the XO version for awhile now and just came accross this at Total Wine. The aroma and finish are amazing and much better than the XO. The tastes are different so I won't compare those as I like both. Well worth the $39.99.

Sweet, double wooded european style, love it!my friend gets it from panama, we have been drinking it in Hungary :)

This one is a highlight of my collection. The Rum itself is dry, but very smooth. Not to sweet, some wood-flavour with it. I enjoy every zip of it. Its the kind of Rum you want to drink after a beautiful day in the sunset to just enjoy life.This is nothing to bind down or to mix. This is a top-quality end-of-the-line Premium Rum. Price is ok, for what you get. Very comparable to the Plantation 20 XO.

Absolutely brilliant presentation with a red wooden box.

Very nice. Great after taste. Stays quite mellow but flavorful.

Lovely presentation in a red box. Smooth with a bit of a kick. Top of my list.

As many have mentioned, this is better than Kaniche XO. The nose is pretty typical of a tropical fruit/honey nose that many others have.

Flavor is Toffee, honey, allspice/cinnamon, maybe a little vanilla or butterscotch. The best part of this rum is its incredible staying power on the palate. The flavors really linger and give the most novice taster enough time to "get it".

Very little alcohol bite, if any.
