Not a bad rum. Amber in color and has a very nice aroma. The flavor is sweet...apparently not as sweet as their XO...and has a vanilla/caramel/toffee mix with a dash of cinnamon to the flavor along with a slight oakiness to it. No real burn but a nice warmth that coats the throat. A nice rum altogether that would qualify as a sipping rum if you like sweet rums and qualifies as a mixing rum as well. Quite versatile. I recommend using this with mixed drinks calling for bitters or even hot sauce (like a rum-based version of a Bloody Mary).

Lemon vanilla flavir, spicy and oak barrel. Modest as expected

You get a big taste of cinnamon and pepper which would attribute to somewhat of a burn plus the alcohol will only elevate the heat. It has a moderate sweetness with vanilla, oak, tobacco and Werther's candies(caramel)!
This could be a decent sipper, though I'd go for the XO instead for about 8 dollars more at Total Wine And more.

After tasting the Barbados XO and the Panama perfecction I though that Kaniche can't fail with anything. But this one I will only use for mixing. Taste of alcohol and black pepper.

Very strong flavor of cinnamon. Actually produces a burning sensation in my mouth. (Capsicum source also added?) Label says "artisan". Seems the opposite of artisan to me- processed food. Might be good in mixed drinks, but I don't drink mixed drinks. So problem is label. If you drink rum for the pleasure of the flavor of rum, avoid this.

This is a really bright and flavorful rum, especially considering the price! Great for mixing, but can honestly be appreciated solo.

This stuff is so cheap, at around $21, and it tastes great with Root Beer. Barqs if you want caffeine, another brand, if you donโ€™t.

Smooth mouth and throat feel followed by a dry finish. Sweetness is too much for me, but similar to their XO and Perfeccion. Light notes of pear and vanilla with slight anise on finish. As long as Doorly's XO or 8 yr. stays around this price point, I won't purchase this one again.

Kaniche is a pretty rough ride. It has some subtle off-flavors reminiscent of gasoline, and burns harshly from beginning to end. It's not the worst thing ever and would serve you better than Malibu, but you definitely get what you pay for with this cheap bottle.

After trying the XO and the Perfeccion, which were good but donโ€™t really stand out, I had fairly low expectations for the much cheaper Reserve. Itโ€™s quite good, and for like $16 at total wine (on sale, I think), that is an unbelievable bargain. Sweet, brown sugar notes on the front end. Way smoother than expected.
