    How does this rum taste?

    The "Rum Trinidad" is a distinctive offering from the Caroni distillery, distilled in 1998 and aged 23 years. Bottled by The Whisky Jury at cask strength with an ABV of 58.2%, this limited release has only 275 bottles. Its aroma is noted for strong barrel and cedar wood tones, paired with licorice and caramel. On the palate, users describe an intense profile marked by rubber, tar, and licorice, complemented with hints of menthol and roasted flavors. While appreciated for its bold character and Caroni authenticity, some find the alcohol integration less than ideal and suggest it benefits from resting in the glass before tasting.

    02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 4 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, light workshop, light olive, faint chocolate, light cherry. Palate Oily, light wood, light tannins, faint coffee, light chocolate, faint coffee, faint salt. Finish Medium long, light wood, faint chocolate, light tannins, faint earthy, faint coffee. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to make the ABV settle properly.

    Messebewertung Ein kontinentaler 98er Caroni wie viele andere... Alkohol sehr kräftig

    Die 1998er Caroni Abfüllung von The Whisky Jury weicht jetzt nicht signifikant von den 98er Caronis ab, die ich schon kenne. Die dreckigen Noten sind vorhanden, auch wenn sie nicht so ausgeprägt sind. Leider ist der Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden. Braucht bisschen mehr Zeit im Glas.

    Alcohol not optimally integrated, but tasty good Caroni!
