How does this rum taste?
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.

Angenehme Nase nach Schokobohne, Zitrusfrüchte (Orange, Grapefruit), leicht Gummi, etwas Rauch und Walnuss Gaumen: wie die Nase, Gummi/Pneu kommt etwas mehr durch, Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden, Abgang nach süsse Mango, Papaya
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.
Thanks to Tom for this beautiful split. Well, we're in Caroni territory on the nose, no doubt about it. The oily, rubbery notes are there. But the nose is a little closed, next to it is essentially wood. Then, with time, rather pleasant yellow fruit aromas develop, even if the nose remains relatively closed. On the palate, spices, yellow fruit and more "garage" notes. In the end, it's pretty good, the oil/rubber flavors not being my favorite. But on such an old rum and at such a price, one might expect a stronger, more expressive profile.
A fairly light profile, the nose took a good 30 minutes to finally express itself. Rather pleasant on the whole, without being overpowering, we're far from a heavy rum, but age has done it good.
