    How does this rum taste?

    Doris 20th Anniversary Rum, a product of the renowned Caroni distillery, offers a distinctive tasting experience for rum enthusiasts. Distilled in Trinidad in 1997 and aged for 23 years, this limited-release rum is bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 51.1%. Despite its uniqueness, user feedback suggests mixed opinions: though celebrated for its aromatic profile featuring notes such as burnt sugar and rubber, it lacks intensity on the palate. Many describe the taste as thin, with underwhelming woody and dark chocolate flavors that fall short of typical Caroni expectations. With only 60 bottles available, it remains an exclusive choice for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate its subtleties.

    Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden, geschmacklich ein runder, komplexer 97er, der eher in Richtung 98er Jahrgang geht. Gefällt mir sehr gut!

    Caroni wie er nicht sein sollte: Dünn, geschmacksarm, etwas Holz, etwas Frucht. Die offiziellen Tastingnotes sind jedenfalls für mich nicht nachvollziehbar. Das beste an diesem Rum ist mit Abstand das Label auf der Flasche.

    Das ist kein herausragender Caroni, aber durchaus gelungen! Die Nase ist noch am ausgeprägtesten mit den typischen Markern. Der Gaumen fällt dem gegenüber zwar ab, ist aber, wenn auch nicht intensiv, als Caroni durchaus erkennbar. Enttäuschend ist für mich allerdings der Abbang, da viel zu kurz und nicht wirklich aussagekräftig

    In der Nase und im Antrunk ein absolut akzeptabler, wenngleich nicht hervorragender, Caroni. Im Abgang dann definitiv deutlich zu dünn, das schwächt die Bewertung erheblich. Nach den bisherigen Reviews hätte ich Schlechteres erwartet, umgekehrt bekommt man für den aufgerufenen Preis natürlich auch noch weit bessere Rums.
