RX12518 Very good Column Still Rum Above 250€

Caroni Distillery's 1998 rum, selected by Bristol Classic Rum, offers a unique tasting experience. Distilled from molasses and aged for 23 years, it features a 54.6% ABV. In the nose, it combines intriguing notes of rubber, vanilla, and oak with an alcoholic hint. The palate reveals a spicy and smoky profile, enriched with vanilla and oak nuances. Users appreciate its aromatic complexity, though some find it slightly bitter and alcoholic in the finish. The rum also offers dirty and woody undertones, with a distinctive smoky-bacon note. Despite its robust character, it integrates alcohol reasonably well, providing a balanced yet bold experience. A sophisticated choice for rum connoisseurs seeking depth and individuality.

“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.”
