How does this rum taste?
Paradise #10 is a rare and limited-release rum distilled in Trinidad at the Caroni distillery in 1998, aged for 24 years, and bottled by Velier at cask strength with an impressive 70.2% ABV. This rum is celebrated for its bold aromas of tar, rubber, and petrol, balanced with woody, fruity nuances and a hint of mint. On the palate, it delivers intense notes of tar and rubber, with wood and tropical fruit, finishing with minty undertones. RumX users appreciate its rich complexity and potent flavor profile, perfect for seasoned rum enthusiasts seeking a unique Caroni experience. However, its distinct intensity and notable price tag can be a consideration for potential buyers.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting - Extra Time 2024: Powerful nose, with the intensity typical of the 1998 vintage. Varnish, petrol, tar on the dirty side, plus wood, dark spices and fruity notes reminiscent of ripe tropical fruit. Very subtle minty notes on the finish. The alcohol is well integrated, but the release remains somewhat scratchy and demanding. A very good representative of the 1998 vintage.
#4932 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Medium intense, wood, faint roasted, light rubber, light tar, light cherry, faint mint, light citrus. Palate Balanced, round, wood, faint smoke, light dried fruit, faint mint, faint chocolate, light tar, light rubber, faint leather. Finish Long, balanced, smooth, wood, faint smoke, light tar, light rubber, faint mint, faint caramel. A very nice Caroni but the price tag is out of this world 😊
Whisky Live Paris 2024 (Messebewertung, nur Gesamtnote und persönliche Kaufempfehlung): Eines meiner persönlichen Highlights der Messe, was aber irgendwie auch zu erwarten war. Würde gerne eine Flasche haben, aber der Preis… Den Preis berücksichtige ich aber bewusst nicht in der Bewertung.
Richtig guter 98er! Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden!
