    How does this rum taste?

    Rich tar and vanilla lead the way on this 25-year-old Caroni single cask, offering layers of cream toffee, toasted barrel, and subtle tropical notes. RumX tasters highlight its impressive balance of classic '98 Caroni tarry intensity with an elegant, approachable sweetness—think caramel, bourbon vanilla, and a hint of mango. Limited to just 230 bottles, it's a refined experience for fans of mature Trinidad rum. Worth a try if you enjoy depth and character in your pour.
