How does this rum taste?
RumX members enjoy this lighter-style Caroni for its classic dirty notes of tar, rubber, leather and tobacco, rounded by dried fruit and a touch of menthol and eucalyptus. Many describe it as surprisingly smooth and quite round for a 2000 vintage, with a gentler finish that grows in intensity toward the end of the glass. A solid pick if you like the Caroni profile without full-on heaviness.

Eher leichter Caroni, der aber alle typischen Marker wie Teer, Gummi, Leder, Tabak, Holz und etwas getrocknete Früchte mitbringt. In Nase und Gaumen noch etwas Menthol. Wirkt insgesamt aber etwas verdünnt
Amazingly round. Normally the 2000s are much dirtier and less round. This one is bottled a little diluted, but very round overall.
A rather lighter Caroni, the aroma is not extremely pronounced, with tobacco, leather and dried fruit. Quite subtle notes of eucalyptus in the chiti and again leather dominates, tobacco a slight tartiness. The finish is weaker at first, shorter, the closer I get to finishing the glass the more dominant I would say the finish becomes. For me it won't offend, but won't particularly excite heavy caroni lovers.
Unround, watery, interchangeable. Absolutely nothing anyone needs to buy. Interchangeable is the key word here.
