"A rum tasted in a bar. Superb nose of mechanical workshop and fresh pineapple. You immediately feel transported to a motorcycle repair shop, with the sun beating down and the tires heating up. You can feel the alcohol on the palate, and then the aromas take over. A certain acidity makes the palate very fresh. Like an acidic but very tasty passion fruit. Vanilla and wood, thick fat. The finish is extremely long, with tropical fruit and machine shop. A fine representative of the '99 vintage. The marked acidity on the palate loses it a few points, but it's still an exceptional rum that makes you want to have more. The empty glass is splendid!" - 9.2/10

"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!" - 9.2/10

"A rather good Caroni that is round and fruity in addition to the typical Caroni notes. I would have liked it to be a touch more dirty." - 8.8/10

"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 😍" - 9.2/10
