Cane Island La Cabaña Single Estate

Cane Island La Cabana Single Estate is a column distilled molasses rum from El Salvador, drawn from a single estate and carrying seven years of age. The nose leans sweet and rounded, with vanilla, dried fruit, barrel and chocolate setting an approachable, dessert leaning tone.

Matured in ex bourbon American oak and bottled at 43%, it is listed as sweetened, and that dosage shows in the caramel, vanilla, dried fruit and honey palate before a finish of oak, sweetness, cedar and a drier edge. It is easy, smooth and value friendly, with the sweetness and oak spice doing most of the talking and only delicate hints of more under the surface. It works for dessert pairings, relaxed sipping or casual cocktails. Drinkers who enjoy sweeter Central American rums in the Cihuatan vein will find it familiar, while those after power or more depth should look further up the range.
