    05.01.2019 A very nice tasting event where I met new local rum nerds. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose: wood, roasted, orange, earthy, light rubber and tar, caramel. Palate: oily, wood, roasted, cherry, tar, rubber, chocolate, light mint. Finish: very long, warm, wood, roasted, orange, light rubber and tar, citrus.

    Quite unremarkable nose. On the palate also rather average for the 2000 vintage.

    A very deep and dirty Caroni... lots of oak, rubber, tar and citrus going on here. The mulchy fruits are there but this is a very dirty, woody and spicy Caroni. Interesting and I love it!
