    How does this rum taste?

    The Single Cask Rum from Trinidad's Caroni distillery offers a rich mosaic of flavors and aromas. Distilled in 1998 from molasses with a column still and matured for 25 years, its profile reveals leather, earthy barrels, and dried fruit aromas. Tastes of smooth wood and subtle rubber underscore its balanced nature, while being bottled at a robust 61% ABV. This limited release of 194 bottles by the Cane Rum Bottling Company is noted for its smooth yet complex character, capturing both classic Caroni 'dirty' notes and some atypical smoothness. Enthusiasts find it particularly round and enjoyable, though the alcohol presence might be pronounced. A uniquely aged rum, appealing to both new Caroni explorers and seasoned connoisseurs.

    Overall an extremely round, smooth and well balanced Caroni without losing some of the more dirty notes. Tasted this at a special tasting at Rum Cane Society (CRS) in Stockholm, which is the rum bar in Europe with most different rum bottlings. The Cane Bottling Co. is a Swedish IB founded and owned by Lars Renbjer and Niklas Blomquist, the latter co-owner of CRS. The rum is a 25yo column distilled rum from the Caroni distillery. It’s Continental aged first for 8 years in former bourbon casks and thereafter in old rum casks for the rest of the time.

    Quite a big surprise. The aroma is rather less pronounced, but it does not deny the technical notes of the caroni. On the palate, it's classic grandpa's workshop with tar and rubber. Hints of wood and leather and a swirly tongue at higher abv. A round and complex rum.

    My first Caroni and I am not dissapointed. I understand what all the fuzz is about 👍. Very rich Rhum in my book, will search for more Caroni

    Spicy Caroni... Alcohol could be better integrated. Red fruits, plum some mint. Leather and wood ... looks pleasing and harmonious. Finish then slightly bitter.
