A distinguished Caroni rum, exuding a dirty-cum-fruity allure with a dash of salty and mechanical accents. Alike to an aged Trinidad and Tobago blend, it balances robust flavors of tar and burned wood, layered with delightful notes of red fruits and vanilla. Bittersweet, its complexity commands attention, leaving a slightly short but memorable finish. Splendid for those who seek power and nuance in their tipple.

„This is yet another release of the 1997 Caroni and it has just gotten better with even more aging. A nice Trinidad and Tobago blend that shines beside the other 1997 releases. You may want to add a drop or two of water if you think it bites too much or you just leave it to rest for 15-30 minutes. A wonderful nose transferring into a full bodied complex rum with a long warm finish.“

„My dry January lasted four and a half days but I just couldn’t refuse to sample this Caroni 😂 Lovely dirty nose, more fruity taste wise. A very good Caroni!“

„On the nose solvents and cherry, some vanilla. In taste more woody and citrusy than the Replica, only other Caroni I had. Somehow less interesting than the other one, less complex, although I do enjoy a more bitter profile.“

„Always a nice experience to discover a Caroni. This one is at first quite light on the nose, rather sweet. Then we feel that it rises in power with smoked notes. In the mouth, it is first sweet and caramelized then it becomes heavier and thicker. Solvents, tar, burnt arrive to mark the Caroni territory.Sympathetic tasting :)“

„Excellent with its dirty accents, its mechanical, motor-oil side, with wax, camphor, controlled woodiness amidst some red fruit. The only downside is a slightly short finish.“
