“Elegant, lightly woody Caroni with chocolate and caramel notes; smooth.”

Introducing the Caroni 1991 Rum, a 30-year-old treasure from Trinidad's Caroni distillery, selected and bottled by Rum Shark at cask strength with an ABV of 62.9%. This remarkable rum carries a unique blend of aroma and flavor notes, with hints of vanilla, dark chocolate, and dried fruit on the nose, and rich caramelized, toasted vanilla flavors accompanied by dried fruit and black pepper. While some users find similarities to other rums, most agree that its long aging process has masterfully balanced the strong flavors and delivered a smooth, non-woody finish.

How does this rum taste?

The '1991' Caroni from Rum Shark intrigues with a woodsy, fruit-forward nose and a palate of rich chocolate, caramel, and a hint of salt. At 62.9% ABV, its fiery warmth is balanced, yet not overly oaky despite its 30-year aging.

“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!”
