10 Cane
Rum’s redemption: 10 Cane

Where is the next opportunity for the rum category? For the answer, Moët Hennessy looked to the 5 million North American rum drinkers who already pay for super-premium spirits. To appeal to these target consumers, the company has crafted 10 Cane from the first pressing of Trinidadian sugar cane – as opposed to run-of-the-mill molasses. The result is purer, better-tasting rum.

Aged in French oak barrels for six months, 10 Cane is light gold in color with aromas of pear and vanilla. The texture is velvety; the finish, extraordinarily long, with notes of sugar cane and oak. Developed for the trendsetting, on-premise market, 10 Cane elevates any cocktail, especially one made with fresh ingredients. These ingredients perfectly complement its light, smooth taste. Moët Hennessy expects to revolutionize the rum category by creating a luxury tier with 10 Cane, hence its moniker “rum's redemption.”
