    How does this rum taste?

    The Trinidad LWR from Compagnie des Indes is a distinctive offering from the Caroni distillery, distilled in 1996 and aged for 25 years. This limited edition rum, cask-strength at 51.5% ABV, is marked by unique Caroni characteristics: rubber, tar, and caramel. Users note a mix of floral and anise nuances, with a softened "workshop" essence. Its profile reveals hints of wood and caramel sweetness, but lacks the intense ruggedness expected from Caroni. Despite its atypical sweetness, it offers a welcoming introduction for new rum enthusiasts.

    Unusually fruity / floral caroni. I like really well could only have a little more power. But the flavor profile is already very tasty mMn!

    This nose, too, has an agricultural side, with yellow fruit and unripe tropical fruit supported by an aroma of sewing-machine oil. It also has vivacity and a spicy, floral side. The palate is not very harmonious, with clashing aromas. You have to look for the mechanical workshop, present but in the background. The finish is quite long, with charming floral aromas (violets) that lift this rum in my esteem. One of the rare Caronis with flowers! Thanks to Steffen for the sample.

    Rubber but unlike many caronis I know no worn burnt rubber tire but rather reminiscent of a fresh bicycle hose you just get out of its package. Surprisingly mild and pleasant. Nevertheless intense and complex

    Ein eher „leichter“ Vertreter des Caroni-Rums. Die typischen Werkstattnoten sind vorhanden. Gummi, Teer aber auch metallische Noten und Politur. Daneben ein deutlicher, fruchtiger Einschlag sowie süße Noten von gebranntem Zucker und Honig. Im mittellangen Abgang Fass/Holz und Leder. Gelungen, kommt aber nicht ganz an die Spitzenabfüllungen andere 96er Jahrgänge heran.
