How does this rum taste?
Benchmark heavy Caroni monster
If you’re already into Caroni or high‑ester beasts, this is one of those “must taste once” bottles—brutal on paper, but the balance and depth make the power totally worth it.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV or looking for a soft, sweet sipper; also not ideal for budget‑minded drinkers given its rarity and price.

It's one of the most impressive Caroni I've met. Very pure, the distillery character is in the glass... I am in love 😍! The rum reveals itself after 1hr of breathing. It's heavy, the alcohol is super well integrated, a lot of natural sweetness, oily, some dried fruits and the amazing feeling of being in a gas station in the middle of a jungle... A masterpiece by Caroni ! This bottle is on its own the perfect definition of what Caroni means to rum.
14.03.2020 Had a nice afternoon and evening with friends. Notes. Medium dark to dark. Nose: wood, roasted, mint, fruity, orange, light caramel. Palate: oily, wood, light smoke, orange, rubber, leather. Finish: very long, warm, wood, earthy, citrus.
Un rhum que j’ai eu la chance de déguster à l’aveugle et j’ai parié sur un blend Demerara, Caroni et un peu de Jamaïque pour la vivacité. Et donc un flagon de la marine britannique. Un nez de mélasse avec des fruits et des esters. De la douceur en contraste avec un côté vif, pas mal d’alcool aussi. De la vieille corde, du pruneau, du vieux bois et des fruits jaunes. La bouche attaque tout en douceur, en contraste avec un nez vif. Puis les arômes sombres envahissent la bouche et seulement alors le côté vif réapparaît. Tout s’accorde en finale, comme si ce rhum avait été blendé à la perfection. Une finale extrêmement longue et entêtante, mais aussi élégante et complexe. Ce rhum raconte une histoire d’héritier, noceur et dépravé. Aujourd’hui seul dans son château délabré avec de beaux restes.
Killer nose! Incredibly complex on the palate with great wood influence.
