Might as well make it official: GearCrave’s favorite export of Trinidad next to Carnival is 10 Cane Rum.  We’ve been working on a bottle over the long weekend, testing it with different mixers and pulling back a few shots straight.  After carefully tossing it around in our mouth, we can give no less than a glowing review.  Granted, we should explain that we’re not a pro when it comes to Rum.  Beyond the top shelf regulars, we haven’t reached far beyond the staples of light and dark rums alike.  To the scent, 10 Cane Rum is warm, sweet and fruity.  To the taste, its flavors of sugar, cinnamon and spice are strong– yet surprisingly drinkable.  Of all the tests we did, neat, on the rocks and over cola, one stood out.  We got ourselves a can of Blue Sky organic cola (no corn syrup, only real sugar) and mixed it with 10 Cane.  The result was a refreshing cola taste with strong essence of cinnamon and very little liquor bite.  While we might be a bit biased, next time you see a bottle of 10 Cane, you must try this for yourself…
