An incredibly good Caroni that also benefits from a few drops of water. Then it offers everything a Caroni can offer.

Ultra expressive rum with typical 1996 profile. Perfect balance between round and dirty notes with some candied tropical fruits. Alcohol integration is perfect. An absolute monster and my favorite rum of all time together with its brother 1992 FP 💘

In the glass it takes times an eternity, two hours of ventilation is not wrong there.A wonderful nose, beautiful dried fruit. The classic Caroni vibe (burnt tar, rubber) is not quite as pronounced and unexpectedly (70%) the nose is somewhat restrained.In the mouth then brutally the fist, but very, very good. In the finish then still spoils the full load of spices.Beautiful Caroni to enjoy and then freshen up.

This is a very, very good Caroni. As soon as the bottle is opened you know this is a Caroni. Heavy on wood and fruity at the same time and the of course the rubber and tar with spices. Mouthwatering just nosing it. The palate is complex and well balanced. The ABV is very well integrated on top of that. Again heavy on the wood with fruit, spice and again the lovely rubber and tar with light burnt sugar and a hint of leather. The finish is VERY long with wood, rubber, tar, spices and raisins. The cost of this bottle tody is just out of bounds, none the less a super good Caroni.

Jour 11 du calendrier Samples de luxe. Un rhum dont la bouteille a été ouverte et aussitôt mise en mignonnettes. Donc aucune oxygénation ce qui explique la quasi non présence des marqueurs Caroni. Au-delà de la piqûre de l’alcool, un nez très doux avec du sucre candi, du cuir et du bois. En bouche on retrouve la même sensation. L’alcool est très bien intégré (impossible d’imaginer 70,1 %) et les arômes arrivent tout de suite après. Encens, fumé, vieux cuir et vieux bois. J’imagine une église séculaire avec des bancs en bois, des coussins en cuir usés par le temps. Dehors c’est la ville avec sa circulation et ses relents de goudron. La finale est splendide et longue. Arômes profonds et larges. J’avais parié sur un très vieux Demerara. A regoûter impérativement avec de l’oxydation !

20 jahre tropisch, 70%, 96er Velier Caroni... Tja. Sehr, sehr gut. Keine Weltklasse. Aber dennoch auf höchstem Level. Abgang ist vergleichsweise kurz für so viele %.

Ein echtes Brett! Aber der Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein.

Un caroni étonnant de gourmandise, surtout vu le degré d'alcool. La finale est longue et colle aux dents. Une grande réussite.

mmmh…somehow a well balanced rum but the abv level doesn’t help, To much alcohol that’s suppressing the flavors. Despite it appears well balanced it is not a very complex rum. Finish is very long but again it’s the adstringent feeling as a result of the alcohol but no flavors dominate the finish. Is there too much hype around Caroni? And we start tasting things that we believe we have to taste?
