HTR presents an inviting aroma of tobacco, vanilla, and oak, yet its flavor falls short, tending to be watered down. Our RumX community sees it as an interesting, if diluted, example of Caroni style that may intrigue adventurous sippers.

How does this rum taste?
- Intriguing tobacco and oak aromas
- 17-year aged complexity
- Authentic Caroni character hints
HTR, crafted in Trinidad at the iconic Caroni distillery and aged for 17 years, offers an intriguing aromatic profile of tobacco, vanilla, dried fruit, and oak. Our RumX community appreciates the promising initial notes reminiscent of classic Caroni expressions but notes that the overall taste can feel notably diluted, lacking the full-bodied impact expected from such a heritage rum. While a few enthusiasts still find appeal in its subtle spice and tar nuances, most agree that the flavor doesn't quite live up to its aromatic promise. Still, it remains an interesting option for those curious about Caroni’s legacy and aged rums.

"Promising, interesting nose. Caroni notes are present but very much watered down unfortunately."
"A very weak representative of his guild. Completely watered down, hardly any aromas left. The nose is still halfway okay, but otherwise simply weak."
"Similar to the VSOC Caroni from Bristol, a very inviting nose that disappoints on the palate, as it is again too watered down. Minimally better than the VSOC as you are still drinking a good cigar here."
"Very diluted. I think it lost its typical smell and taste. Too bad...."
