"Where to start? First, the bottle is incredible in its detail. Then smoke and peat (or hydrocarbons?) take over. The fruit is clearly present, even if in hindsight it doesn't go through all the states, and we end up with a smell that's impossible to get out of my head. Last glass at 1802, because after that nothing can stand up to me!"
"So I was really looking forward to this bottle, because I had to go directly to the ExcellenceRhum in Paris to get it, and experience tells me that what you choose forbar 1802 is worth it. To smell and taste. After the initial sniff, it's clear to me that it's going to be about smokiness and peat. Dried fruit, leather and mint come out. On the palate, the peatiness is there, tannins, dried fruits, leather, mint, a bit of kerosene. It's a heavier rum, which has to be the right time, but then it puts a smile on your face."
"Nose gives recognizable Caroni scents, smoky with some tar and funnily it's slightly peated. There are also fruits, dark chocolate and Espresso tones. As the glass gradually empties I feel some apple and wax notes. It's a very good nose ! Palate gives many flavours already got on nose. It's dry with iodine, mint and leather. It finishes long and pretty smooth, still smoky and peated, with fruits, dark chocolate and iodine. A very good Caroni !"
