New Orleans Rum

[Ed Hamilton]

New Orleans Rum labeled simply Cane, is coming of age. It's been about five years since New Orleans Rum began making their own rum and their producsts are beginning to show the maturity that can only come from age.

The amber color is quite translucent. The aoma opens with hints of butterscotch, vanilla and florals lead to a body laced with spice and hints of honey. At 40% alcohol by volume, this is a very drinkable rum. Congratulations to the guys in New Orleans.

This is one I continue to reach for on my bar shelf. I like it neat with just a few small ice cubes --- but in New Orleans they are pushing Cane and Coke, which they claim tastes just like Dr. Pepper. I bought quite a few bottles of this on my last trip and have gifted them to friends, all who love it, including some Scotch bigots.

The New Orleans Amber product, which is the entry level aged rum that they sell, is also nice, and I prefer it for mixers to Cane.

I'm not going to say that you're going to fall in love, but you owe it to yourself to try it and see what how the taste of this rum is maturing.

Not sure when you last tried them, but certainly the stuff I have had in the last year has been good.
