    How does this rum taste?

    The "The Legend Collection HTR" rum from the Caroni distillery in Trinidad is a 21-year-old spirit, selected by Spirits Shop Selection, renowned for its robust profile. Distilled in 1997 from molasses with an ABV of 63.8%, it exhibits intense notes of barrel, rubber, and vanilla on the nose, with roasted and mineral flavors. While many appreciate the strong Caroni character, others note the alcohol's strong presence. The limited release consists of only 220 bottles, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Adequate resting time enhances its complexity, reflecting a mix of whisky-like notes and traditional Caroni elements, making it a unique experience for seasoned rum drinkers.

    Not too bad a release, would have loved a slightly better ABV integration. Needs to rest for a good while before it releases its flavours.

    Klassischer 97 Caroni, deren Profil mir hervorragend gefällt. Dieser hier hat auch den leicht süßen Unterton unter den schweren Teer Noten, den man/ich bei Caroni so liebe.

    Geruch: Man merkt direkt die Caroni DNA. Hier kommt abwechselnd was rostigen und was fruchtiges Kraftvolles in der Nase. Geschmack: Die Noten aus der Nase spiegeln sich auf der Zunge deutlich wider. Lecker! Allerdings könnte der Alkohol besser integriert sein.

    Revisiting. Still a fantastic rum for the price
