Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"When picking up my new Plantation Extreme 3 ITP today I was offered this one to sample. Guess that having a large collection does sometimes pay off. This is a very impressive rum from Bristol Classic. There can be no doubt that this is a Port Mourant Rum. Extremely well balanced, complex and it just sets your palate on fire with wonderful expressions. Unfortunately a very rare rum, but none the less a masterpiece. "

"Thank you for the 2nd opportunity to have this rum in a glass. The tropical Veliers are certainly a touch more delicious, but you still have liquid history in your glass. Great stuff."

Top review from Rodolphe:

"Blind tasting tonight. The nose is great. A big salad of exotic fruits in the foreground. A little almond powder behind, some dried fruit, a hint of rubber. A nose that makes you want to drink it, really! I really like it. On the palate, the woodiness is more noticeable, as are certain aromas such as candied prunes. A little less fruity. A wonderful discovery, I found it really very good, but I didn't guess at all, I thought it was a Jamaican-dominated navy blend."

"Für mich ist das ein ausgezeichnet LP aus einer anderen Zeit. Als Mark würde ich ihn auf TECA schätzen. Allerdings kann natürlich auch das Oloroso Finish seinen Teil dazu beigetragen haben."

Top review from Oliver:

"A great harmony of (green) fruit and woody spice on the nose. After standing for an hour, a wonderful complexity develops that you could sniff forever. Elegant, spicy and (despite the reduction) not too thin on the palate. Very dry. There are also a few floral notes. Unfortunately, the finish is relatively unspectacular and cannot quite maintain the high level of the nose. A piece of liquid history! However, the finish is too thin for a top rating and I feel it lacks that certain something."

Bristol Classic Rum • Caroni

Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:

"I love the Carons, I love them so much that I find it hard to be impartial. I won't go into it because it would just be fancy words anyway! Nice Caroni, but surely there will be better. Of the ones I have tasted this one I think is the most distinctive because it remains excellently balanced between the typical tar notes and the peaty/smoky whisky notes. Far superior to the Rum Nation 21y Caroni aged in Scotland. Let's be clear that this is not a classic Caroni! Finish not as long as other Caronis."

Top review from Joachim Guger:

"Es kommt nicht oft vor, dass ich einen Rum aus meinem Geburtsjahr verkosten kann. Heute ist es wieder mal soweit. 😀😀😀 Sehr tiefe, volle Nase, irgendwie alt, ohne dass ich es genau beschreiben kann. Lack, getrocknete Früchte, Vanille. Würzig und nussig. Warm, kräftig und ausgewogen. Wenn man ordentlich schnuppert kommen Weichseln. Ester? Nein, nicht hier. 🤩🤩🤩 Im Mund dann staubig, holzig und würzig. Ganz leicht wässrig, das könnte aber auch am Alter des Samples liegen. Langer, holziger Abgang. Das Highlight ist sicherlich diese alte, ehrwürdige Nase, richtig schön. 30 Jahre Reifung waren hier perfekt. Toller Rum, von dem ich gerne mehr zum gemütlich Trinken hätte."

Top review from Jakob:

"Erstaunlich frische Nase für das hohe Alter. Die Fruchtnoten rücken am Gaumen aber mit zunehmender Länge in den Hintergrund, dafür kommt eine schöne Süsse und etwas mehr Holzeinschlag zum Vorschein - dabei kippt der Rum aber keinesfalls in zu bittere Sphären. Leider fehlt mir insgesamt aber ein wenig die aromatische Raffinesse, weshalb am Ende ein zwar sehr leckerer Rum im Glas bleibt, der sich aber nicht ganz in die absolute Topliga einreihen kann."

"Absolut erstaunlich wie intensiv der ist mit seinen 46% ABV. An der Nase rote Früchte, Tabak, Vanille und Lack / Lösungsmittel. Am Gaumen Kirschbaumholz, Tabak, Mokka und Gummi. So positiv überrascht von einem ‚46er’ war ich das letzte Mal beim CdI Kaiman!"

Top review from cigares :

"End of a bottle, an excellent thing to appreciate a Caroni. The glass perfumes the room even before you put your nose to it. The nose is strong and sweet at the same time, with bitter orange, dark chocolate and a hint of red wine, and of course the distillery's typical perfumes. A lively attack, but soon afterwards fruit and machine shop aromas come to the fore. A long, flavorful finish, with a return of bitter orange and chocolate. A hard, closed rum when the bottle is opened, but tasty with oxidation, and even better with plenty of oxidation and a magnificent finish."

Top review from cigares :

"A rum tasted at Rum Depot in Berlin. The bottle is almost empty. Full Caroni nose, tires, petrol and tar with a surprising but very pleasant freshness. The palate has a clean attack, with notes of machine shop first, then comes the freshness (menthol?) sensed on the nose, fruit last. The finish is a little pale in comparison, with fruit and a woodiness that was barely present before. The empty glass shows a lovely balance between fruit and machine shop. A very fine Caroni, too bad its finish is a little weak."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"This is yet another release of the 1997 Caroni and it has just gotten better with even more aging. A nice Trinidad and Tobago blend that shines beside the other 1997 releases. You may want to add a drop or two of water if you think it bites too much or you just leave it to rest for 15-30 minutes. A wonderful nose transferring into a full bodied complex rum with a long warm finish. "

"Tasted at the GRF in Berlin - positive surprise, because if you expect to taste a dilution in this bottling due to the not too high alcohol content, you will be proven wrong in view of the very compact profile. Very nice Guyana rum, but at a price."

Top review from cigares :

"A fairly dark rum with a very fruity nose of varnish and cedar wood. The palate is smooth, balanced with fruit and cedar, as well as a taste of beeswax. The finish is rather long, ending on fruit and wood. As much as this kind of reduction has "killed" some Bristol Caronis, here it's justified and makes this rum dangerously drinkable 😇."
