The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Caroni HTR 1998
Highly praised Caroni with balanced tar, rubber and fruit, lifted by rare floral notes. Powerfully warm, long-finishing and characterful, yet still relatively approachable for the style.
Seasoned rum fans who enjoy oily, industrial Caroni funk and want a slightly softer, more floral take with plenty of warmth and a long, satisfying finish.

Agréablement surpris !!
On a un nez avec moins de notes empyreumatiques que d’accoutumé avec Caroni, c’est dense, c’est fruité (banane) mais on retrouve par la suite les marqueurs typiques de Caroni avec la ligne de départ d’une course de Karting. En bouche, c’est puissant et lourd, on retrouve la banane du nez, du vernis et on retourne dans les pots d’échappements de notre course de karting. Mais ce qui m’interpelle le plus sur ce Caroni, ce sont ses notes végétales et florales (rose-violette). La finale est chaude et c’est bon. Un vrai rum de pirate comme nous l’annonçait l’étiquette !
A very nice expression. In the mouth i get banana and tar. The finish is long and warming.
Premier caroni pour moi.. Assez abordable.. Nez horrible avec ce goût de plastique brûlé.. En bouche c'est mieux.. Mélange de café et de goudron... C'est très particulier
