How does this rum taste?
RumX members rate this 1998 Caroni Soca Edition highly for its classic “dirty” Caroni profile: tar, varnish and smoky wood backed by vanilla, cream toffee and dark fruits. On the palate, fruity tar, roasted wood, tobacco, leather, coffee and caramelized notes lead into a long, dry, tannic finish where industrial tones and fruits linger. A powerful 69.3% rum that rewards a good rest in the glass.

This is a another rare bottle and I was really happy that my friend got a full set and I could buy some samples. This is a great Caroni and if you get the chance you should give it a go. Make sure you rest it for a good while so that you get the full experience. The nose is a clear Caroni with tar, varnish and smoky wood trailed by cherries and vanilla. The palate is fruity with tar, wood, tobacco, leather and wonderful vanilla. The finish is long with fruits, tar, wood and light vanilla. What I like is that the flavours stick to your palate for a very long time. Price to quality can be argued but it is a great release.
Erneut ein klassisches 98er Caroni-Profil, durchaus klar im Ausdruck: Holz, Karamell, dunkle Schokolade, dann Teer mit dezenten Gewürzen und Trockenfrüchten. Ein schönes, ausgewogenen Aromenspektrum, allerdings mit leichten Abzügen für den leider nicht ganz rund integriertem Alkohol.
Really good 98!
