How does this rum taste?
Dark, smoky Caroni powerbomb
If you enjoy full proof, dirty Caroni like other late‑90s HTR casks, this one doubles down on smoke, tar and workshop notes with serious structure and heat.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike very dark, ashy, mechanical profiles and prefer sweet, easygoing rums.

29.01.2022 The big Caroni tasting with old rum buddies, good food, snacks and a lot of talking about old times. Very similar to RX5133 Notes Dark in colour. Nose Round, wood, light smoke, fruity, banana, workshop, light mint, light leather. Palate Fresh, wood, light smoke, dried fruit, leather, mint, floral, workshop, medium dry. Finish Long, medium dry, wood, citrus, light chocolate.
Beautiful 1998 Caroni with a multi-layered aroma - in addition to the classic dirty HTR notes, tropical fruits, sweetness of caramel and vanilla, as well as tart spicy notes of barrel and allspice are recognizable here. Appealing complexity and balance.
