“Complex Caroni rum with rubber and fruit notes.”

The Ultimatum Rum HTR, a luxurious 1998 bottling from the famed Caroni distillery in Trinidad, aged for 20 years. It's renowned for its bold rubber notes, fruity strawberry highlights, and complex undertones of tobacco and dirty aromas. Despite a high ABV of 64.1%, users appreciate its rounded taste and unique Caroni identity, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts. The rum offers an intriguing fusion of rubber, barrel spice, and vanilla flavors. With a limited release of only 259 bottles, it stands out in the rum world for its intricate balance of sweet and savory elements. RumX users find it accessible yet lacking some refinement in its integration of alcohol.

“Sehr schöner kontinentaler Caroni. Dennoch kein Vergelich zu jeglichen tropischen Veliers. Hiermit kann man auch Rum- und Caroni-Beginner begeistern, da er zwar mit typisch drecking Noten aufwartet, diese jedoch dezent integriert sind.”

“Very pleasant, relaxed Caroni. I could drink it every evening. It was worth it that I was able to buy a bottle on the first market this year at a reasonable price. Update 2023-11-29: Tasted again, this time against RX17793. The Ultimatum is much stronger and dirtier and I like it better. The 89 points awarded at the time still stand.”

“Relatively fruity on the nose but with chocolaty Caroni notes. Much dirtier in the mouth, rubber, slightly cinnamon, tobacco, leather and milk chocolate. The finish is oily and complex if you let it breathe for a long time. Good round 98 Caroni. Very accessible but still present in the profile.”
