Bristol Caroni HTR 1995
A world‑class, atypical Caroni: intense but well‑integrated heat, roasted wood and rubber, layered with overripe fruit and dark chocolate. Highly praised for depth, balance and distinctive HTR character.
Seasoned Caroni fans who enjoy high‑proof, technical rums mixing dirty rubber/roasted notes with overripe fruits and want a distinctive twist on the classic Caroni profile.

How does this rum taste?
World‑class, fruity HTR Caroni
If you already enjoy heavy Caroni and cask‑strength Demeraras, this is a must-try: same power and depth, but with a fruitier, slightly quirky twist that rewards an experienced palate.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or anyone who dislikes oily rubber/tar notes or quirky off-notes in long-aged, cask‑strength rums.

Very atypical Caroni. Really cool mix of Caroni and Guyana flavors!
This is not your typical Caroni. Very light in the traditional flavours but I do like that they didn't water it down like usual. Fruity with nice roasted notes and wood as well as an overripe fruit basket.
It builds nicely at the start: Typical Caroni notes, plus dark chocolate and perfectly dosed alcohol pushes well. Then in the finish suddenly a significantly disturbing and conspicuous, I have not encountered in any other Caroni, missing note with shaving foam or aftershave and sandalwood. I like this aftershave/shaving cream smell a lot on the skin, but not as a flavor in a rum. Here this note does not fit at all for my taste.
