    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 véritable bombe 💣 gros caroni qui déboîte!! 🤤

    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

    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🏴☠️💰🧉⚓️

    Das zweite Schwergewicht in diesem Vergleich. Und nach etwas Zeit und einigem Sippen bestätigt sich mein Ersteindruck. Das hier ist im Vergleich mit dem fullproof mein Favorit Gleich etwas zugänglicher begleitet die schöne Aprikose das ähnlich dreckige Profil hier bis zum Ende. Der geringere Alkoholgehalt ist hier wirklich eine gute Entscheidung. Toller Rum der wie sein Bruder ein Weilchen verbleibt. Und wieder einmal frag ich mich traurig warum kann man davon keine Flasche mehr kaufen.🙈 Probieren wenn ihr die Chance bekommt!
