When tasting this Caroni, I immediately feel transported to the disused locomotive depot of an often visited Caribbean sugar factory, where the typical smell of various oily, tarry substances is in the air (the steam locomotives parked there were fired with heavy oils, the old wooden sleepers could still have been impregnated with tar creosote).Rums that remind me of beloved places, I like especially. So this one is definitely one of them. Big thanks to Distilia for the great sample at the 11th GRF in Berlin!

1st SC caroni for me and I was not disappointed at all. The notes of tar, glue, oil are there but very well balanced and fruity notes appear with aeration. The finish is long and magical 😍

This is a very nice Caroni and I'd put it in the medium heavy to heavy category. Typical Caroni flavours complimented by some fruits and a mint touch. Love the roasted wood notes on the palate.

Nice nose, but finish is way too bitter and unbalanced to my taste. I had to dilute to about 48% to make it drinkable. Otherwise it was too hot, pungent and bitter. Apart from these downsides, it’s quite nice.
