Sansibar Caroni Selection Sansibar HTR 1997 18yr 53,3%
The Selection Sansibar HTR is an 18-year-old limited edition rum distilled at Trinidad's Caroni distillery in 1997. Bottled by Sansibar with an ABV of 53.3%, this rum features bold aromas of rubber, tar, and smoky undertones. Tasting notes highlight a compelling mix of rubber, tar, with woody and spicy accents. Users describe a gentle balance of traditional Caroni earthy notes and fruity elements, accompanied by a long-lasting, woody licorice finish. While the flavors appeal to many, some find the intensity less robust than other Caroni expressions.

“Un nez assez violent avec du piquant en premier, puis des fruits, de l’atelier mécanique, du boisé et du rôti. La bouche est étonnamment douce, presque acqueuse au tout début. Moins de fruits qu’au nez. Puis de la mélasse, du bois de cèdre, du goudron et du caoutchouc et des fruits. Les arômes sont marqués mais l’ensemble est plutôt doux. La finale est superbe avec de la réglisse qui amène encore plus de complexité. Un boisé profond avec de l’atelier mécanique dans le verre vide. Un HTR 1997 avec de la puissance maîtrisée. Très bon !”

“Great nose with the typical Caroni aromas. The palate lacks dirtiness and tar. More on the fruity-sweet side. Medium-long finish that highlights the beautiful aromas once again. Good PLV”

“The poured glass from my freshly opened bottle smelled as if I just stepped into a workshop where someone fooled around with rubber, plastic, oil and dirt. Delicious! The rum settled down a little after 30 minutes in the glass to reveal the classic Caroni taste profile. I loved the woody licorice finish.”
