A 5-year-old blend of rums from Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Panama, and Trinidad. 50% ABV. A: Dark (uncolored) with bits of sediment from the welcome lack of chill-filtering. N: salted caramel, oak. Bananas and mangoes. Hint of funk. P: Same as palate, along with some cola (spices?). This rum's got some bite. The youth shows here, but it's not at all unpleasant. Delicious freshly poured, but responds well to 15+ minutes breathing. Warming. F: medium-long; astringent but lingers for a while.

What a lovely rum. In my opinion, this bottle just about represents the epitome of blended rum. The Platonic ideal "rum." It's got everything you want and expect from a rum: natural dark color, rich caramel yet not sugary, hint of funk and brine, oak, presumably tropical + continental aging, admirable strength, and it's well-suited to mixing or sipping. I do think it's a bit overpriced considering its youth ($50 in the US, when I think it should be closer to $30–35; so I won't be mixing it in more than a Daiquiri or two), but I can't argue with the quality. This may be my new "desert island" rum...

Good blended Caribbean rum from Cadenheads.
Bottled at 50% needs time to open up but full of dark toffee, demarera and tobacco notes. Water brings out some fruit compote and stewed apricot..

Un goût de whisky et et scotch plus que l’égout du rhum. Différent et j aime.

Label says 6 year old blend from five named islands and 50% proof. No CF and the only adidive is water. Strong in flavour and I like some ice to reduce the burn. At £30 from their warehouse its good value.

Though known more for their whisky bottlings (they're one of the oldest independent bottlers in Scotland!), W.M. Cadenhead also bottle delicious rums, too. This is their Classic Rum, made with spirits from the Caribbean. Plenty of rich fruit and tobacco notes, with touches of almond and chewy toffee. Yum yum yum...

This is probably the first overproof Ive liked and it is more than likeable. Sweet smooth buttery with fruity notes. Great blend of rums and no vegetative taste. I just have to remind myself that because its overproof its 20% more fun.

Amazing, everything I had hoped for.. strong abv yet smooth, full bodied, full flavoured and long lingering aftertastes.. delightful. Edit, would have scored higher if it was a tad more viscous and a little less pepper at the end.

Cadenhead’s Classic Rum is bottled at 50% ABV. Fruity and spicy notes dominate this rum (nomadded sugar) and in spote of the higher % ABV this rum is very enjoyable neat. Pleasantly sueprised, will definitely purchase again.
