CoR Caroni Trinidad No. 3

"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."

"The lightest of the heavyweights in the Caroni flight. But it also means that the alcohol is very well integrated. Almost a little boring."

"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)."

"A good Caroni with dark, slightly dirty aromas"

"Despite many similar releases, the continental 1998 profile always produces delicious drops. Nice fruity nose with raisins, a few red fruits, caramel, cola, coffee and toffee. The palate is then beautifully dark with coffee, dark chocolate, dirt and 98 sweetness. Great mouthfeel."

"Heute im kurz Test 3 '98er Caroni. Der 15 Jahre alte von Velier, der Rum Nation und die No.3 von Colours of Rum. Der Verlier mit Abstand die Abfüllung von Rum Nation, der knappe Gewinner ist der CoR. Aber alle drei können meinen bisherigen Favoriten der '98er, den Precious Liquors nicht gefährlich werden."

"Typically strong 98 Caroni. Very strong alcohol on the finish. Not super dirty. Modern and expensive."

"One of the greater bottles from this vintage. Everything one could expect, dirty and with just the right amount of rubber and tar :) It feels sweet and not overly complex in the beginning but opens up really nice. So take your time and enjoy."

"Really good Caroni 🤤Smells slightly sweet burnt sugar.... Beautiful roasted flavors in the mouth . Seems very balanced and round ."

"Sweet, sherry like acidity, a bit too alcoholic."

"WL24"

"... Caroni je destilerie z Trinidadu, produkujici v dobe sve nejvetsi slavy rum, ktery se pridaval v pomeru 1:10 do namornickeho blendu. Byl totiz moc vyrazny a divny nez aby byl prijemny na jazyku. V roce 2000 destilerka skoncila s produkci a byla uzavrena. Az v roce 2010 se objevili degustatori, kteri si rum oblibili prave pro jeho specialni chut. A zajem rostl. Caroni patri do kategorie rumu "you need to try before you die". Doporucuji, Caroni je opravdu unikatni rum."
