    Really good, complex and at the same time round 97 vintage with slightly dirtier notes on the finish. Great selection!

    Integrated alcohol, round taste, mid strong oil tongue. But - thats all. ... Caroni is a distillery from Trinidad, producing at the time of its greatest glory a rum that was added at a ratio of 1:10 to the Navajo blend. It was too strong and strange to be pleasant on the tongue. In 2000, the distillery ceased production and closed. Only in 2010 did tasters appear who took a liking to the rum because of its special taste. And the interest grew. Caroni belongs to the category of "you need to try before you die" rums. I recommend it, Caroni is a truly unique rum.

    Das gesamte HTR-Aromenspektrum wird komplett bespielt, der Alkohol ist aber leider nicht gut integriert - schade, denn hier wäre wirklich Potenzial vorhanden gewesen.
