How does this rum taste?
Fans love the oily tar, leather and herbal depth with well‑integrated alcohol. Critics find it less typical and slightly rough. Consensus: a highly praised, approachable gateway into Caroni style.
If you’re Caroni‑curious, this is a smart first step: it delivers the trademark tar and leather, but in a cleaner, more approachable format than many heavier Caroni bottlings.
Those new to rum or sensitive to 55% ABV, and drinkers who dislike petrol/tar and smoky, industrial aromas in their glass.

Such a nice floral and fruit taste. Of course tar and oil is still there but not so aggressive. Pretty delicate
aroma sharper, I smell tall grass, maybe sugar cane leaves, maybe a little honey the taste is full, strong, powerful, heavier but terribly honeyed
Colour dark amber Aroma petroleum, leather, dense, heavy, slightly menthol and citrus Taste fruit sweetness in the beginning followed by spices, mint, later petrol leather, taste full complex well integrated alcohol Long finish petrol, leather, mint
Today we had another tasting with a few surprises in store. This one is not your standard Caroni. Probably a good "starter Caroni".
