    How is this rum rated?

    8.4/10 17 reviews

    Not quite a round 98, not as much bourbon notes, alcohol not top integrated, slightly flat, alcoholic-dirty finish.

    Aromatically appealing and quite complex on the nose, dirty notes meet wood, spices and some tobacco. Quite bitter on the palate, with a pronounced smoky, bacony note. Hints of menthol and some caramel in the finish, good alcohol integration. Unfortunately, it already seems a little overpowering to me.

    The smell is weak, but the taste is no bad. Technical, mild sweet with smoke notes

    A decent Caroni at an indecent price!
