How does this rum taste?
Carnival Barbados Rum from West Indies distillery, bottled by Sun Juice, comes across as an easy-going crowd-pleaser with a sweet and fruity profile dominating the experience—think tropical fruit, coconut, and caramel, with banana and brioche on the nose. Multiple reviewers, like Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪, note it is "clairement trop sucré à mon goût," while Morgan Garet describes it as "très (TROP) doux, facile à boire, fruité et patissier." Expect a soft, candy-like sip that leans patisserie and feels very approachable, though some find the sweetness and reduction a step too far, giving it a bonbon-like and almost "arôme artificiel" character.

Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024, Notes rapides et palais un peu lourd, désolé :) On a ici : gourmand, fruité, un peu de coco Un rhum : abordable, plutot axé débutant Finale : gourmande, longueur moyenne Belle découverte
Je découvre Carnival avec ce rhum très abordable à tous les niveaux : degré d'alcool, prix, complexité. C'est facile à boire. Pâtissier, légèrement fruité, un peu de coco, très rond. Trop réduit à mon goût.
