How does this rum taste?
Most love its intense, dry Caroni profile with leather, rubber and menthol complexity. Critics find it too woody, bitter and ashy. Consensus: a challenging, interesting but polarising “beast”.
If you already enjoy intense, old Caroni and want something drier, woodier and more menthol-ashy, this bottle will fascinate you; otherwise, it’s likely to feel too rough and bitter.
Newcomers, sweetness-seekers and anyone sensitive to bitterness, heavy oak or smoky-ashy notes; also not ideal for drinkers wanting an easy daily sipper or a fruity, friendly Trinidad profile.

Just like the first version, this is truly a beast. However, the second version feels (from memory) rounder and more delicate. There are hints of fruits alongside Caroni notes (which however are pretty much overwhelmed by leather and wood)
Interesting one. I will remember this rum mainly because of the sourness and tech taste combo.
Compared to the previous "Beast" this one is slightly better, but only by margins. I got a good price on this bottle and that convinced me to get it. The nose is woody and smoky with leather, varnish and solvents in almost perfect harmony. The palate is intense, complex and medium bitter with roasted oak, leather varnish and a hint of tobacco and coffee. The finish is long and bitter with roasted oak. Price to quality can be argued, but it is a palate teaser.
