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.

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.
Extremely exciting to be able to drink a Caroni from 1974. Got the sample a few months ago and waited for the right moment. Of course, a little more ABV would be good for him, but I think you can get over that with this rarity. Thanks Rik for the sample 🙏🏼
A Caroni distilled in the year of my birth. Expectations are high...A great nose as if from a single mold. Very dirty, very, very awesome varnish!!! Then fruits and nice wood maturity with lots of spices. Enough power in the 1920s Blenders glass as well. It doesn't need time to breathe either.In the mouth it's a bit too weak then. Long, woody finish. 34 years in the tropics are then but long.Pure Caroni magic, the bouquet.😊 The rest is solala.
This is a great rum that can hurt your wallet if you find one. They're still in a few stores actually from 700 euro and up.
