    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers consistently highlight the bold, Caroni-like profile packed with tar, smoky wood, and industrial notes—an unexpected twist from a Guyana rum. Many praise its equilibrium between rugged character and roundness, noting hidden layers of caramel, burnt citrus, and even ripe fruit emerging after some air. Sipped slowly, it unfolds over time and is especially loved by those seeking complex, intense pours. Limited to just 293 bottles, this release is a hit among Caroni fans and adventurous collectors alike.

    Une grosse claque bien lourde, terreuse et épicée. Là, on n'est pas sur les fruits. On est bien collés au sol. C'est chaud et huileux, fumé, boisé. Le sucre est là pour apporter la touche de gourmandise qui fait du bien. C'est vraiment très bon. Édit : aussi agréable à sentir qu'à boire. Hyper agréable et gourmand.. Nécessite une bonne aération mais aussi une bonne montée en température. Il gagne alors en gourmandise.

    Wow was für eine Granate. Danke danke danke Vincent. Glaube ich habe meinen neuen Favoriten von Diamond gefunden. Da brauch ich definitiv eine Flasche davon. Blind hätte ich auf Caroni getippt. Bin immer noch auf der Suche, aber die wird wohl leider ins leere laufen, wer die Chance hat sollte zugreifen. Eine wahre Erleuchtung

    Im Blind-Tasting 100% Caroni. Wow, richtig geil!

    Okay, wow! I would not have expected that. C'est vraiment Gus'toni. Really Geil. Amazingly sweet, alcohol thereby very well integrated.A true pirate treasure this bottle🏴☠️💰🧉⚓️
