Kaniche XO rum is produced in Barbados where it is first aged in bourbon casks. It is one of the few rums that is then double aged for a more mellow finished in Pierre Ferrand ex cognac casks at their location in France.

En hyggelig rom med kokkos duft og smag. Perfekt til kaffen.
It comes in a wood box.
Doesn't that say it all?
Well at least mine did.
It's called "Double Wood".
It's awesome!

Definitely sweet, but a warm, full, rich and deep sweetness. Very tasty.

Utrolig sød, ikke lige min kop te. Lillebroderen Kaniche Reserve, er langt bedre.

You will love this smooth tasty rum. I used to drink Bourbon and I can taste the sweetness of a hint of oak barrel aged Bourbon in this delicious rum. It is full bodied yet sweet. The sipping rum.
Kaniche XO overrasker med en markant kokosduft. Den er sød uden at være voldsom. Den udfordrer og man kan udforske dufte længe. Virkelig en behagelig oplevelse. Kan på mange måder minde om Plantation 20y anniversary

(Update January 3, 2020: So... after reading through the hydrometer tests, I unfortunately discovered that Kaniche is a company that absolutely loads their "premium rums" with additives like sugars and coloring such. This is something that disappointments me greatly. As noted on my recent review of Zacapa's Edicion Negra, "premium" rums with additives that aren't labeled mean an automatic three points off. That means the highest I can give this now is a 7, but based on my previous rating, I'm giving it a 6.)
This one surprised me. Based on the low price, I expected this to be a mixer. Instead, it's a wonderful sipper. Definitely on the sweet side, but with my sweet tooth, that's perfect. (It's on the sweet side likely because of added sugars.)
It does fascinate me that I love rum so much, because I hate the tropical fruits it can take after... especially, in this case, coconut. Yet again, I find the claims of these fruits being upfront to be exaggerated. Even when I have detected coconut, or banana, or plantain, or something else along those lines, it's been subtle and in a way I actually quite enjoy.
This is definitely a smooth rum, as well... possibly the smoothest I've had so far. I definitely recommend this... straight or over ice. This is definitely a sipper, not a mixer. (Although, given the fact that a lot of that is because of added sugars, this would be just fine as a mixer.)
