How does this rum taste?
- Rich and complex flavor profile
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Distinct Caroni characteristics
The Private Garden N°3 (Clos des Spiritueux) is a Trinidad rum from the esteemed Caroni distillery, selected by Swell de Spirits. Distilled in 1998 from molasses, it matured for 25 years and is cask bottled at 61.9% ABV. Featuring intense woody, dark chocolate, and fruity aromas, the rum’s palate offers notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and spices. Reviews praise its well-integrated alcohol, smooth complexity, and distinctive Caroni flavors, enhanced by bourbon cask aging. Though rich in character, some users find it lacks the classic Caroni markers, and at a high price point, opinions on its value vary. A limited release, only 350 bottles available, adds exclusivity to this robust offering.

"Nose is very nice with just the right amount of dirt, smokeyness and some fruits and sweetness - well balanced. Same sensation on the palate. Very good cask out of the 98 vintage - intense yet well balanced. The influence of the bourbon cask is quite pronounced."

"Oh man, was ein geiler Rum, auf jeden Fall noch etwas besser als der andere Caroni von Swell de Spirits. Dafür nochmals danke an Mika. Aber schöne Schokonote, irgendwie einfach fast perfekt dieser Rum. Lecker..."

"Wir kommen im Tasting zu den Schwergewichten. Ja, an der Nase fein angekokelte Autoreifen. Aber am Gaumen hat er mir einen Ticken zu viel Süße, um gegen die parallel verkosteten Schwergewichte zu bestehen."

"#4165 This is a very nice and subtle Caroni that has a very good balance both in the flavours and the ABV. Love the fruity bit and that the Caroni flavours develop while it rests."
