    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this Caroni for nailing the sweet spot between accessibility and intensity. Expect classic tar and rubber wrapped in roasted chocolate, vanilla and dried-fruit tones, with coffee and pastry hints emerging as it opens. Cask strength yet often well-integrated, it finishes long and dark. A popular pick with 66 reviews and strong buyer confidence—and a limited 251-bottle release worth savoring unhurried.

    Very nice and fruity on the nose. Creamy mouthfeel with lots of cacao and vanilla notes.

    Another rekindling at the GRF and I really like this profile. ----- Back on track with a nicely balanced release with all the right flavours. Love the chocolate and raisin that blends well with a light coffee note in between the tar and rubber.

    A pleasant, rather restrained nose. But on the palate comes a wonderful roastiness, chocolate and umami. Very horny 1998 Caroni!

    Strong and edgy - fiery spice, gum and tar notes, wood, coffee, roasted notes and also a little licorice in the finish. There is also a subtle heavy sweetness of dried fruit and caramel. Very solid 98 Caroni.
