Legendary dirty-fruity Caroni benchmark

Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or bitter notes, and anyone who dislikes dirty, industrial aromas like tar, rubber and diesel in their glass.

A rather sweet nose, mixing diesel and cooked banana, bicycle tire, tar, and tropical fruit. A frosty side, but less present than in the dirtier 1992 Hangar. The attack is rather soft, then the aromas arrive with force. But a certain freshness (menthol) and sweetness (caramel, pastries) complicate this rum. The finish is very long and elegant. A tar different from other Caronis, like an insulating tar for roofs. Powerful yet smooth, that's a good summary for this rum with its deep, varied aromas. An easy-drinking rum with perfectly integrated wood. Very different from 1992 Hangar 55%, yet magnificent!
Auto-translatedDirty, fruity, intense nose - very horny! Complex, creamy and very smooth on the palate. Better than the Full Proof!
Auto-translatedTypical Caroni profile with apple and pear notes which add more complexity and balance. When you taste this one, you can imagine how good the Full Proof version can be 😉
Overal good balance between fruity and dirty side with dirty notes taking the upper hand.
