    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Caroni’s bold, classic profile—tar, leather and wood—lifted by a subtle menthol note. The palate turns oakier and spicy with caramel/vanilla touches, drifting into a long, smoky-tobacco finish. Several reviewers suggest a few drops of water to tame the 62.3% heat. Highly rated by 55 RumX enthusiasts and praised for value, it offers a distinctive angle on the 1997 S.B.S selection.

    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 … für mich ist das ganze Set immer noch erstaunlich günstig bzw. Weniger überteuert als andere vergleichbare (oder schlechtere) Caronis. Das Fass 193 liegt für 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. Für das was das Set kostet bzw. mal früher gekostet hat, ist es ein absolut Topp PLV. Da können sich manch neuere Abfüllungen mal über ihren Preis nachdenken. Werde hier nochmal nachlegen!
