    Dirty, balanced heavy Caroni
    Who is this rum for?

    If you already enjoy late‑90s heavy Caroni, this is a must-try: it keeps the full-on tar and rubber but adds good balance and a long, smoky, chocolaty finish.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike dry, rubbery, industrial-style rums.

    Quite dry Caroni. Typical associations of tar and rubber, a good portion of smoke and accentuated spices join the tart notes from the barrel and dark chocolate. A quite acceptable representative of the 1999 vintage, but clearly not enough for the Caroni top class.

    Auto-translated

    Pleasant Caroni nose with typical, dirty notes. A little menthol. Really fun! Quite dry on the palate and the alcohol could be better integrated. The fruity notes on the nose unfortunately disappear completely on the palate.

    Auto-translated

    This is a very nice release and also a very limited one. The nose is wonderfully Caroni with tar, rubber and smoky wood. Once rested fruit and leather notes appear. The nose is kind of sweet and well balanced. The palate takes off where the nose ends. Tar, rubber and smoky wood trailed by tobacco, caramel and pineapple and a light touch of leather. A nicely balanced rum. The finish is long and with smoky wood and fruits. Would have loved a full bottle instead of a sample :-)

    Geschmacklich erstaunlich intensiv, aber eher auf der dreckigen Seite.
