How does this rum taste?
- profil un peu différent des autres Single Cask
- angenehm komplex und ausgewogen
- reichhaltig in der Nase
This Caroni from S.B.S. rounds up the distilleryâs classic âtar, woody, leather, barrelâ DNA, but the 193 cask stands out for subtle menthol on the nose and a fresher edge compared to its siblings. Conflicting notes swirl: some find a âprofil un peu diffĂ©rentâ with a menthol lift (TheRhumhoe), while others note it feels less complex but âpropose une expĂ©rience diffĂ©rente.â Firepower is notable: âdefinitely needs a few drops of waterâ (Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°). And if youâre after classic Caroni funk, thereâs âgoudron, caoutchouc, cuir, boisĂ©â in abundance. Not everyone loves the alcohol integration, but for those who do, itâs a punchy, slightly off-beat take on late â90s Trinidad.

"The famous S.B.S. single cask tasting. Cask # 193. The best nose of the four, deep and balanced between fruity aromas and machine shop notes. The palate is disappointing, with clashed aromas and not-so-well-integrated alcohol. The finish is long but a little weak compared with the other 3. Best of the 4 on an empty glass."
"Auch sehr leckerer Rum aus diesem Set ⊠fĂŒr mich ist das ganze Set immer noch erstaunlich gĂŒnstig bzw. Weniger ĂŒberteuert als andere vergleichbare (oder schlechtere) Caronis. Das Fass 193 liegt fĂŒr mich gleich auf oder knapp hinter dem 190. je nach Tagesform."
"The comparison is between 4 Caronis Single Cask 1997 from SBS. This Caroni stands out with a profile that's a little different from the other Single Cask. The nose is fresher, with a subtle hint of menthol to break up the dirty, empyreumatic profile. Spices and tropical fruits are present, accompanied by caramel and burnt sugar for a touch of sweetness. A complete and original nose. The profile changes on the palate. The woodiness is more present, with a tannic edge that dries out the palate, but paradoxically there's quite a bit of sweetness on the caramel and spices (vanilla). Rubber, tar and fruit are much more subdued. The alcohol could be a little better integrated. The finish is rather long and shifting. Salted caramel intrudes through spices (chili, pepper), leather, wood and smoky notes. Tobacco, tar and rubber are also present. If the profile loses complexity and depth compared to neighboring casks, this Caroni has the merit of offering a different experience with its more fanciful aromas and flavors."
"Der Rum ist Teil eines Sets: Fass 53, Fass 190, Fass 193 und Fass 216. Bei diesem ist der Alkohol nicht sonderlich gut eingebunden und ein paar Tröpfchen Wasser tun ihm sehr gut, da er sonst diesen "Push in your Face" Effekt hat. Wobei ich das bei diesem gerade mag. FĂŒr das was das Set kostet bzw. mal frĂŒher gekostet hat, ist es ein absolut Topp PLV. Da können sich manch neuere AbfĂŒllungen mal ĂŒber ihren Preis nachdenken. Werde hier nochmal nachlegen!"
