    How does this rum taste?

    • Bold and smoky profile
    • Distinctive Caroni character
    • Surprising fruit notes

    Experience the complex allure of La Lune Rum, a rare 23-year-old Trinidadian spirit from the renowned Caroni distillery. Bottled at cask strength by Jack Tar, this limited release offers only 225 bottles at 61.3% ABV. Users praise its bold, smoky profile, with prominent notes of tar, wood, and leather seasoned with hints of orange. The nose balances heavy Caroni aromas with surprising fruitiness, while the taste delivers a robust mix of woody and rubbery flavors. Despite its high alcohol content, the rum's character shines through, although some find its complexity and integration less than perfect. La Lune is a captivating exploration for connoisseurs seeking a full-bodied rum with traditional Caroni signatures.

    "#4090 This is a very nice Caroni and a smoky one indeed. In the glas it's a bit cloudy but nothing that matters. All the expected Caroni notes are there once rested, rubber, tar and smoky wood. There is a light orange note in the profile and I like that. Well balanced and good ABV integration. Draws really nice and slow curtains and the empty glass has even more smoke and fruit flavours."

    "Very good Caroni. Sensationally good nose for a Caroni. Properly emphasized rubber. Otherwise chocolate, fruit, leather, menthol, smoky and then some peach and coffee on the finish. Unfortunately, it loses a little of its momentum on the finish and is quickly gone; it is also less complex on the finish. But it is still good fun to drink."

    "I don't find the typical Caroni notes as present as the other tastings suggest. A good Caroni but, as far as I can judge from my experience in this area, not at the top level"

    "Alcohol not optimally integrated, somewhat unround, lacks some complexity and intensity."
