    le nez : le caramel coulant laisse la place à un boisé très prononcé, genre vieux meuble oublié chez un antiquaire. Le côté empyreumatique est incroyable, avec ces arômes de sucre brûlé, de tabac. Il y a aussi du cuir très âgé. La vanille est extrêmement gourmande tout du long. A chaque inspiration, on sent des effluves qui varient et c'est incroyable de complexité. Le pétrole et les hydrocarbures propres à la distillerie sont là, mais sans être entêtant. Ils s'estompent rapidement pour laisser la place à une corbeille de fruits tropicaux, notamment l'ananas bien mûr. Juste après, on est sur du cacao amer, du chocolat noir à 85%. Quand je pensais en avoir terminé, c'est de la cire à bois, genre Pliz ou O'Cedar, que ma mère mettait sur nos meubles qui me ramène dans mon enfance. Quel truc de dingue ! Rien ne brûle le nez et on voyage dans le temps avec plein de souvenirs d'enfance avec ce rhum. On se prépare psychologiquement au 70,1° d'alcool pour la bouche. Et... Rien ! Aucune brûlure ! C'est chaleureux et aromatique mais j'ai connu des rhums à 50% plus agressifs. Là encore, la complexité est folle. Le tout est dans une rondeur réconfortante. Du caramel à foison, de la vanille aussi. On est sur le côté pâtissier d'un far breton, avec ce rhum très gras en bouche, très puissant en goût. Le tabac et le cuir sont affirmés, et nous rappelle l'âge de la mixture. Le bois brûlé, avec ce fumé, donne de la voix et un raffinement exquis. Étrangement, très peu de marqueurs sales en bouche, à part encore cette cire d'abeille pour les meubles. Les fruits exotiques sont tout doux en arrière fond sur le palais, avec un ananas rôti. Il y a aussi un côté floral qui passe à un moment sans arriver à bien le cerner. La fin de bouche laisse une fraîcheur assez étonnante. La finale est longue et langoureuse, sans être non plus interminable. On sent une pellicule huileuse qui reste sur la langue et le palais. Le boisé du fût nous amène encore dans la cale d'un navire, où sont stockées des épices exotiques.

    For caroni, 1996 was perhaps the year where the best rums came out! And this trespassers is confirmation of that! Notwithstanding its high grade and all integrated to perfection! The typical tar/petrol/caoutch note is present but not excessive and blends with all the other flavors! An amazing rum!

    A Caroni that is second to none.

    Wouaw ! Puissant mais super bien maitrisé, plein de douceur et de gourmandise. Intense concentré profond et délicieux, voici comme je le qualifierais. Un rum exceptionnel !
