How does this rum taste?
The Rum Artesanal Trinidad Rum HTR is a limited edition from the Caroni distillery, known for its tar, minty, and dirty nose. Distilled in 1998 and aged for 26 years, this spirit captures the signature Caroni character with tar and barrel dominance, complemented by subtle fruity undertones. With a robust 63.4% ABV, it offers an intense tasting experience, characterized by dry and smoky nuances. This release boasts only 264 bottles, ensuring rarity. Despite its solid embodiment of Caroni's profile, some reviewers note a lack of complexity and balance. Ideal for connoisseurs seeking a bold rum with a strong tar presence, although it might not satisfy those expecting a multifaceted palate.

Accessible Caroni. Ideal if you want to immerse yourself in the exciting world of Caroni.
And another continental '98 Caroni. Nice piece, contains the typical notes known from this non-tropical vintage. Personally, far too one-dimensional and meaningless for me. Somehow something is missing here. In short, when you swallow it, you can count down from 10 and then the experience is already over. There are better wines from this vintage.
A sample taken at the German Rum Festival 2024. A lovely nose of soft caramel and very ripe tropical fruit. Very little machine shop and a little spicy. The palate is a little unbalanced, dry and not very pleasant. Although it has everything that makes Caroni famous. The finish is rather long, but less than you'd expect from a Caroni. A nice fruity finish comes in at the very end to save this disappointing rum on the palate and in the finish.
Sehr ölige Konsistenz im Glas mit dicken einzelnen Tropfen, die träge ins Glas zurückrinnen. Die Nase gefällt mir schon sehr gut: reichhaltig und intensiv, Caroni-Dreck ist ebenfalls da und der Alkohol scheint gut eingebunden zu sein. Interessanterweise finde ich auch Waldhonig! Am Gaumen viel Süße und fruchtig aber auch ausreichend Gummi und Teer 😉 und wieder Waldhonig. Gleitender Übergang zum langen Nachklang mit mehr Fassnoten und Trockenheit neben dem Caroni-Dreck. Für mich ein sehr stimmiger Caroni. Honig und Minze ergeben eine spannende "medizinische" Mischung. Preis und Genuss stehen m.M.n. bei dieser Lost Distillery aber schon lange in keinem gesunden Verhältnis mehr.
