    How does this rum taste?

    • Smooth chocolate and vanilla notes
    • Impressive aging at 30 years
    • Balanced caramel and fruit flavors

    The 1991 Caroni Rum by Rum Shark represents a unique expression from Trinidad, distilled and aged for 30 years before being bottled at cask strength with a robust 62.9% ABV. It delivers prominent aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and dried fruit. On the palate, it's dominated by caramelized notes, vanilla and milk chocolate, balanced with toasted and dried fruit undertones. While it deviates from classic Caroni profiles, favoring a lighter character, it still offers an intriguing tasting journey. Users appreciate its warmth and low woodiness for its age, though some miss the signature heavy Caroni traits.

    "This Caroni is probably a bottling with a very high Light/LTR content. The typical dirty notes are missing almost completely and the remaining profile remains very flat. Has strong Spanish echoes, but there is then eg from Belize in more exciting form."

    "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!"

    "This rum has absolutely nothing to do with Caroni. Blind I would have typed him on a Foursquare. What it has to do with it, I would be interested..."
