Good representation of the 97 profile. Well balanced and enjoyable focusing on woody and dirty notes rather than fruits. While the alcohol is very well integrated, complexity could be a bit more intriguing. So it sits compfortably in the middle of the 97 vintage for me.
Alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but tastes nicely complex with light sweet notes on the finish.
07-06-2024 This was a surprise. Had not heard the best about this rum, but I do not agree in the critique. This tastes like how I want my Caroni. Bit over 20 years. Clear wood, tar and leather.
