    "Why do you have to put a '98 caroni in a whisky barrel for 70 months? Everything that could have been great here was ruined. Wasted potential. 250€ for a 98 caroni is still too much as the finish devalues it enormously... You can drink it, but here rum nation has once again "improved" what is certainly a great rum... Too bad!"

    "Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Lacks a good nose, but has a strong Caroni profile in taste. Great taster!"

    "02-03-2024 Tasted at Whiskymessen.dk Second rum was this Caroni. The entire group was fond of this. Liked the hint of whisky. Not a bottle I would buy, but glad to have a extra sample on the shelf 😉"

    "15/03/25: tasted @ Brussels Rhum Festival. Note: I was experiencing severe palate fatigue. Another rare gem pulled from under the desk. You can never say no when you get the opportunity to taste a Caroni. Very nice nose and palate, I liked it. Nice dram to end the festival with!"
