What it tastes like.

The Ten Cane distillery was created by LVMH to produce pure cane juice pot still rum for the US market. The brand never really found its audience, the multinational decided to tear down the distillery only a few years after its grand opening. Its name, Ten Cane, comes from the idea that it takes 10 sugar canes to make a bottle of rum. You will have understood that the distillery is now closed and thus its rums are very rare pot still rums 100% pure cane juice (Agricole style). 80% tropical ageing. Sugar =0G/L; ex-Bourbon cask.

About Compagnie des Indes.

Bottled in France; rum sourced globally ·Est. 2014

Compagnie des Indes is an independent rum bottler founded in 2014 by Florent Beuchet, a young Burgundian with deep family ties to French distillation — his father owns Les Fils d'Émile Pernot (the Pontarlier absinthe house already covered in this collection). Florent worked in New York selling rum for two years before returning to Europe in 2007, where he saw the European rum market opening and founded Compagnie des Indes to source single-cask, single-distillery rum from across the producing countries — Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, the Indian Ocean — and bottle each separately.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Compagnie des Indes

Bottled in France; rum sourced globally (Caribbean, Latin America, Indian Ocean, Asia)

Compagnie des Indes is the youngest house on the shelf and the only one that doesn't distil. Florent Beuchet - a French spirits man trained on Citadelle gin and Cognac Ferrand - founded it in 2014 with a working brief: travel the Caribbean, walk distilleries from Jamaica to Guyana to Belize, and select single casks personally. The casks ship to France, age out in Beuchet's cellars, and bottle under the Compagnie des Indes label. No additives, no sugar, no chill-filtration. What's in the cask is what's in the bottle.

The name is direct: the original Compagnie francaise des Indes occidentales was the French West India Company, founded in 1664 to handle the colonial trade in sugar, rum and spice. Beuchet borrowed both the name and the trade route - the same Caribbean origins, three and a half centuries later, curated rather than industrially produced. Single-cask releases identify the distillery, age, vintage and outturn; blended bottlings (West Indies, Caraibes, Latino) layer multiple origins for a designed flavour rather than a single-house signature. The range covers Jamaica (Hampden, Worthy Park, Long Pond), Trinidad (Caroni, T.D.L.), Barbados (Foursquare, West Indies), Guyana (Diamond, Port Mourant), Belize, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and the multi-island blends.

Drink the single-cask releases neat to read the distillery signature directly - this is rum at its most unfiltered. Start with a Jamaican Hampden or Worthy Park for high-ester character, or a Guyana Port Mourant for the dark, treacly Demerara profile. The blended bottlings (West Indies, Caraibes) work as more accessible introductions or for cocktails where you want Caribbean breadth rather than a single-distillery voice.
