“Really great nose with lots of caramel and cocoa.The alcohol is too present on the palate (just under 70%) and prevents a top rating.”

“Aromatically a blast, but the alcohol also remains present. At just under 70%, this is not a real point of criticism, the rum still remains excellent and fun. Definitely counts as one of the outstanding tropical representatives of the 1998 vintage.”

“Caroni essence as it is in the book. Wild bitter vanilla concentrate, car paint, burnt rubber, dark chocolate, fresh mentholated allspice and a hint of salt caramel! Fat!”
