How does this rum taste?
- Distinctive Caroni character
- Complex aroma profile
- Limited edition rarity
The Nautilus Rum is a rare Trinidadian spirit from the renowned Caroni distillery, selected by independent bottler The Duchess. Distilled in 1991 and aged 31 years, it is bottled at cask strength with a robust 54.1% ABV. With only 136 bottles released, this rum offers a complex sensory experience. Tasting notes reveal intriguing aromas of apricot, rubber, and a subtle woodiness. On the palate, expect a blend of tar, caramelized notes, and dark chocolate, underscored by a hint of green pepper. Despite its notable Caroni character, some find it lacking in balance, particularly with the integration of alcohol. Available on RumX, this rum holds a unique appeal for collectors.

"Very fruity with the recognizable Caroni notes present but not overpowering. Very well balanced and easy to drink, the 54,1% hits the perfect spot.. Glad to have a couple cl left after the split on the forum. Happy to give my father a taste of it today."
"Dieser Caroni ist mehr auf der würzig dunkleren Seite. Nehme ich an der Nase noch Fruchtnoten von gelben Früchten und Pfirsich wahr, verlieren sich diese am Gaumen vollends.. dort sind nur Gewürze, röstige und chemische Aromen. Diese setzen sich auch im Abgang fort. Das ist kein Caroni, der mir zusagt..da fehlt mir die Fruchtigkeit und Ausgewogenheit."
"Etwas sprittiger, scharfer 1991er. Nur sehr leichte Caroni-Anklänge. Da hat man bei manchen 91er TDL's mehr Caroni-Feeling. Etwas bitter, etwas Teer. Insgesamt überhaupt kein guter Caroni. Der Preis von 1000€ ist eine Zumutung für die Qualität."
"A rather interesting nose with lots of fruit (pear and apricot among others), bitter herbs, minerality and rubber. On the palate, there's a very bumpy start, followed by a dip and the reappearance of a few aromas. Red apple and apricot, bitter herbs, rubber. The finish is short, but some aromas persist, including butterscotch. The empty glass is more balanced, with a woody/smoky edge. Far from uninteresting, but not the Caroni you'd dream of owning. The imbalance on the palate is what disappointed me here. Thanks Tom for the split."
