    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the sweet-spot Caroni mix of tar and rubber with roasted chocolate and vanilla. The nose brings raisins, red fruit and a touch of cola/coffee before a long, dark finish. Despite 62.9% cask strength, it’s balanced and opens up with a little time. A 24-year, limited 251-bottle release that’s popular on RumX, highly rated by 69 reviewers and chosen with strong confidence.

    05-12-2024 Colours of Rum Tasting Best rum of the evening. Really good Caroni with age as I like it. Tar and rubber in nose and on plate. Not to much. Just sweet spot

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

    Un sample pris au German Rum Festival 2024. Goûté en parallèle avec le cask #9 de CoR. Le nez est intense avec un mélange de pâtisseries et de fruits tropicaux, presque comme un beau Foursquare. L’impression est ici plus vive que pour le cask #9. Les arômes d’atelier mécanique sont présentes mais en arrière-plan. L’alcool marque la toute première bouche, mais les arômes envahissent la bouche aussitôt après. Une plus belle bouche que pour le cask #9, ample, généreuse. La finale est longue sur les pâtisseries, les fruits et un côté végétal rafraîchissant. Le verre vide est marqué par le végétal. Un très beau rhum, très proche et pourtant bien meilleur que son frère (#9).

    I said it was rounder than expected, but after a few sips it’s clear that this is proper Caroni. Intense fun.
