Trinidad HTR

A rare complex and well integrated rum that keeps evolving as it aerates and warms up in the mouth. The nose is sweet with a hint of tar. At first itˋs fruity like strawberry then honey and tobacco. Lovely

Coffee, rubber, spices, petrol, smoke, flowers and honey.

Po Samaroli tu je konečně něco voňavého. Příjemný mix technických tónů a tropického ovoce. Hodně zajímavá chuť. Je tam lehce Caroni špinavost, ale nejvíce mě překvapila taková zvláštní pálivost jak u jídla s chilli. Vše tak dobře vyzrálé, že s tím nemám problém. Závěr by ale mohl být delší.

Very balanced and „sweet“ compared to other 98s. Dirty Caroni notes are present, however, not overly dominat. Vanilla, chocolate and fruits make for a nice bottling.

Vyborne lehke caroni, krasna vune hodne pripomina LMDR . Chut je velmi vyvazena , mirne stiplavy, kourovy, ovocny, trosku laku. Zaver bych rekl ze neni uplne dlouhy , spise stredni delka. Pekny kour, cokolada az mi pripomina skoro raselinove whisky.

Rather light Caroni which gets dominated by some leathery / woody notes and dark fruits in the background. Gets a bit stingy/peppery after a while. Not much of the expected heavy industrial notes, but still pleasant. The HTR marque seems a bit misleading?

Very pleasant nose. A bit too peppery on the palate. On balance, however, a nice representative of the 1998 vintage.

I think this is a light Caroni but not in a bad way because it has some other flavours to kind of compensate. The nose is light and has smoky wood, rubber, varnish, vanilla and a good portion of wet tobacco. The palate is complex and well balanced between smoky wood and fruits with rubber, varnish, vanilla and some tobacco. The finish is long, lightly dry and fruity with smoky wood. Very good in its own way.

Nice intrnsive taste and long finish. Alcohol just shows a bit too much for my taste.

I know much better 98 caronis... Unfortunately not my cup of tea... Hardly complexity, overall quite sharp and exhausting...
