Caroni S.B.S The Beast #3 1993

Community loves the wild nose and uniqueness, but heavily criticizes the aggressively bitter, mentholic, woody palate. Overall seen as an interesting Caroni to sample, not something to drink often.

    How does this rum taste?

    Wild Caroni experiment, more shock than pleasure
    Who is this rum for?

    If you already love the harshest, woodiest Caroni and want to test your limits, this is worth a sample; otherwise, treat it as a curiosity, not a daily drinker.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those seeking a pleasant sipper, anyone sensitive to bitterness/menthol or expecting the balanced sweetness of classic Caroni bottlings.

    Aroma

    Rubber Varnish Woody Black tea

    Taste

    Bitter Tar Sour Rubber

    This is the worst of the 3 releases. Kind of like smelling, locking and drinking a chemical factory. Maybe they brewed this at BASF 😂

    Great incredible but at the end very hot and question how much drinkable

    Auto-translated

    This is times full on the face! Bitterness, gasoline, varnish, wood. Phew, it is extreme in any case. But to drink maybe then rather not...

    Auto-translated

    Disappointing for a Caroni, but for those who like to lick fresh tar, it might be okay. Update: I've now tried it again with a little distance. There's something about it, somehow it reminds me of my younger years when I was 14 and took two puffs of a menthol cigarette before I got caught. I just had a taste like that in the finish. It's a very cool piece in any case. The smell is really great, but you can't say the same about the taste.
