“Elegant and well-balanced, with subtle Caroni notes and smooth finish.”

Felicite Gold Trinidad Rum by Bristol Classic Rum, sourced from Caroni distillery, is a 14-year-old treasure distilled from molasses. Notable for its light, tar-infused vanilla aroma, complemented by hints of oak and coconut, this rum captures the essence of classic Caroni in a subtle manner. Its flavor profile is delicate yet intriguing, with notes of vanilla, light tar, licorice, and a touch of oak. The rum offers a smooth, soft sipping experience, though some find it slightly diluted. Ideal for those seeking a gentle introduction to Caroni rums, it evokes the historic pre-Velier Caroni profile, perfect for casual sipping or enhancing gourmet desserts. Overall, Felicite Gold is a refined rum with a storied background, uniquely showcasing traditional Caroni characteristics.

How does this rum taste?

Felicite Gold Trinidad Rum offers a light but enjoyable Caroni experience. Expect tropical fruit, faint wood, and mechanic notes. Some find it too diluted and short but still a balanced, pleasant sipper. Great history, yet not a standout.

“Un Caroni historique conservé à la distillerie dans des cuves inox et dilué à l’alcool neutre (de chez Caroni). C’est exactement à ça que pouvait ressembler le Caroni d’avant Luca. Le “Caroni FELICITE” était un embouteillage officiel de Caroni. Le nez est léger avec des fruits tropicaux, du beurre et de l’atelier mécanique. L’attaque en bouche est légère, puis les arômes montent en puissance, mais rien de spectaculaire. La finale est trop courte, hélas. Le verre vide est beau avec un bel atelier mécanique. Un Caroni décevant pour l’amateur mais très buvable et parfait pour ajouter à ma crème glacée. Nettement en dessous du Bristol VSOC 2003.”
