Caroni
Caroni Distillery — Trinidad’s legendary heavy rum icon with cult-aged releases
Caroni rum is the cult benchmark from Trinidad, famed for its muscular “HTR” profile—rubber, tar, leather, oak spice and flashes of tropical fruit. Founded in the early 20th century and closed in the 2000s, Caroni lives on through prized casks curated by leading bottlers.
On RumX you’ll find 599 expressions, reviewed 9,013 times with a stellar 8.8/10 median. From accessible Navy Rum 100th Anniversary “Replica” HTR to unicorns like “The Last,” the Caroni distillery story continues to captivate collectors and connoisseurs seeking authentic Trinidad rum character.

Flavour profile of Caroni
Most frequently mentioned flavors
RumX users celebrate Caroni for its unmistakable heavy profile: tar, rubber and diesel notes layered with menthol, dark wood, cocoa, vanilla and bursts of tropical fruit. They praise long, oily finishes, impressive balance at cask strength and how oxidation unlocks complexity. Favorites span approachable “Replica” HTR to powerhouse 1996 vintages and the Employees series—though some find certain releases wood-forward or alcohol-prickly. Overall sentiment: intense, unique, and endlessly rewarding.
