How does this rum taste?
- Trinkbar ohne Frage
- la tourbe marche bien
- well made if you like peat
RumX members keep circling back to smoky, peaty notes and a whisky-dominant character with this Caroni Islay Cask Finish. The rum’s aroma and flavour profile leans heavily into malt, tar, and medicinal tones, often overshadowing what’s traditionally expected from Caroni. As Leos notes, “Whisky not rum, like Talisker or Laproigh... too much of peat taste,” while Aussierumfan describes it as, “If I was to have tasted blindly I would have said Laphroaig!” There’s a consensus that the spirit is more for smoky whisky fans than classic rum seekers.

"Drinkable without question. But it no longer has anything to do with a rum, let alone Caroni. Unfortunately, the finish completely overshadows it, so that not much of the origin can be recognized. Perhaps just right for smoky whiskey fans."
"Whisky not rum, like Talisker or Laproigh too much of peat taste."
"Funny, the peat works well because it doesn't take over too much, not necessarily what I prefer but it's well done."
