Cheramie Cask Select Cane and Table

Review by: The Auditor

 Review #1188; Rum #503

Folks, here we have a bottle of age cane juice rum from Cheramie, who distills their rum at Porchjam distillery in New Orleans. This is a single cask of rum made from fresh pressed cane juice, aged for a number of years, then bottled at a high proof with no additives. This was bottled for Cane and Table, a New Orleans restaurant.

Distillery: Porchjam

Bottler: Porchjam

Region: Louisana, USA

ABV: 55.4%

Nose: Vanilla, Brine, Nutmeg, Caramel, banana

Palate:  Medium mouthfeel, Green apple, Vanilla, touch of brine, caramel, banana bread

Finish:   Medium length finish, Chocolate, Green Apple, Vanilla, Brine, Caramel, banana bread

Conclusion: I did not expect this aged cane juice rum to be this good, but it is very tasty. It is bright with citrus, a touch of brine, tropical fruits and spices. This is really quite exceptional and shows that a deft hand has guided the ageing process. Im gonna have to get me a bottle of this somehow.

Final Score: 85

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.

  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.

  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.
  • 0-49: Blech.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
