Cadenhead‘s Caroni TMCG (The Nectar) HTR 1998
Highly praised Caroni: oily, dirty-sweet profile with smoky wood, tar, rubber and fruit, long satisfying finish and surprisingly well-integrated alcohol, especially with a few drops of water.
Seasoned enthusiasts who love dirty Caroni profiles, enjoy cask strength intensity and appreciate oily textures with tar, rubber, smoky wood and a touch of bourbon-style sweetness.

Not my best Caroni, but the result is not bad and the finish, though a little short, is pleasantly sweet.
On the nose, the rum is still quite restrained ... but on the palate it unfolds its potential... the typical dirty Caronino notes and a slight freshness! The alcohol is well integrated! Oily it distributes itself in the mouth! The finish is so medium long ! A good Caroni
Very direct in profile and taste, Caroni. Nice and dirty but not too much. Tastes a little like bourbon fudge to me.
This one has a bit of a bit from the ABV so I added a few drops of water to round it off a bit. The water releases a lot of wonderful flavours. The nose intense and has smoky wood, tar, rubber and fruit trailed by leather. The palate is intense and complex with smoky wood, tar, rubber and fruit trailed by leather. The finish is very long with smoky wood and pineapple and some rubber.
