How does this rum taste?
The Caroni 1974 HTR from Bristol Classic Rum is a distinguished bottling, crafted in Trinidad and aged for 34 years. Appreciated for its complex aroma of dried fruit, rubber, oak, and smokiness, it offers a robust flavor profile with woody, fruity, and anise notes. Despite its 46% ABV, users note its full-bodied presence and nuanced sweetness. While some wish for a higher proof, it remains a collectible gem from the famed Caroni distillery, embodying a rare taste of rum history. Limited to 1500 bottles, it's both a trove for collectors and a nod to Caroni's storied past, often available at premium prices at platforms like RumX.

Sehr geiler Caroni, der am Gaumen wesentlich mehr holt wie an der Nase. Die Verdünnung stört am Gaumen überhaupt nicht.
Wunderbarer Caroni mit einem feinen Spiel zwischen Alkohol und Aromen. Trotz oder gerade wegen seinem etwas geringerem Alkoholgehalt ist er wunderbar zu trinken und intensiv im Geschmack. Die Nase ist wunderbar intensiv und typisch für den 1974 Jahrgang. Für Caroni Liebhaber ein absolutes muss.
At first very dominant on wood and petroleum on the nose, but after letting it air for 30 minutes more subtle flowery and spicy notes appeared. The taste is sugary sweet, with again petrol, wood and spices. An unmistakeable top note of fleur d’oranger and geranium that ends in menthol. It punches above its ABV because of the menthol, making it more full-bodied than you would expect.
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.
