Rum Shark Caroni 1991
Highly praised as a lighter, chocolate‑driven Caroni with surprising freshness for 30 years of age, offering warming sweetness and moderate complexity at robust cask strength.
Fans of high‑proof yet rounded rums who enjoy chocolate, caramel and light wood more than heavy tar and rubber, and Caroni curious drinkers wanting a softer entry point.

How does this rum taste?
Light‑style Caroni, big chocolate hit
You’ll enjoy this if you like bold ABV with a softer, chocolatey Trinidad profile and want to approach Caroni without diving straight into the full tar‑and‑rubber intensity.
Those chasing dirty, garage‑style Caroni funk, beginners sensitive to 60%+ ABV, or value‑focused buyers wary of premium single‑cask pricing.

My first Caroni. I expected heavier rum but this one was really gently. Love the chocolate, love the wood and the flavor of the fruit was excatly as should be (just enough). I was one of the lucky ones, who had opportunity to taste it, if the bottle had a better price ot will be a 10 for me.
Very nice light rum by Caroni. Balanced full Flavie with lot of Dark chocolate & burned caramel. Burnt tires and spent kerosene only faintly in the background. Those who love heavy garage Caroni should choose another bottle, those who love good Overproof rum or looking for a way to heavy Caroni, will enjoy it.
Ve vůni očekávám sladký profil caroni. Cítím čokoládu, koření, karamel, skořici ( skořici u caroni snad poprvé). V chuti nemám pocit, že piju HTR, ale piju rozhodně dobré caroni s velmi specifickým profilem, které toho má hodně co nabídnout. Vzhledem ke stáří mě udivuje, jak málo dřeva citím, což přidává příjemným svěžím chutím. Závěr středně dlouhý až dlouhý a krásně hladí.
Definitely a very, very tasty Trinidad Overproof but caroni?! I feel here only to 5-10% maximum. But outstanding that the part has really 30 years on the hump and still tastes so little woody! Really tasty!
