    How does this rum taste?

    The Trinidad HTR is a 1998-distilled rum from the renowned Caroni distillery, aged for 25 years. Bottled by The Rum Cask, this high-proof rum (62.5% ABV) delivers a unique blend of fruity, oak, and rubber aromas, complemented by caramelized, dark chocolate, and tar notes on the palate. Despite being from a well-known distillery, some reviews highlight its lesser-intensity compared to other 1998 Caroni releases. However, its fruity complexity and balanced sweetness have been appreciated. It offers a milder introduction to Caroni's characteristic profiles, suitable for those seeking less “dirty” or “rubbery” traits and a more harmonious drinking experience.

    First impression: Unfortunately, I didn't really get around to analyzing this one in peace due to all the bottling of samples. But the first one is already very good. I think it will be corrected. Edit: Tasted again in peace after the bottle had quite a lot of air. Developed very well. But still made a small downward adjustment.

    Nice nose with some dirt, smoke and a lot of fruits. Very intense fruity notes on this barrel. On the palate: sweetness, cacoa, some dirt and again a nice touch of fruityness. Very good 98 cask imo.

    Für mich ist das kein typischer Caroni…aber durchaus ein sehr guter Rum. Kommen anfangs neben den fruchtigen Aromen auch leicht Dreckige hinzu, verlieren sich diese bei längerer Standzeit fast vollständig. Am Gaumen zunächst eine Süße, dann etwas Florales (Veilchen) und Fruchtiges, danach ein Wechsel ins leicht Würzige, der Abgang ist unspektakulär und relativ kurz. Im Vergleich zu den mir bekannten Caronis fehlt es ihm deutlich zur Spitze

    Intensely fruity affair. Great nose, heavy sweetness, compote-like fruit combo. In comparison, less workshop aromas than other bottlings. Good overall picture and very tasty. Blind, I don't think I would taste any difference here to a <20-year-old Caroni.
