    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex floral notes
    • Unique Caroni character
    • Long warming finish

    The "HTR" is a bottling from Trinidad's Caroni distillery, crafted by The Rum Mercenary & Kintra. Distilled in 1998 from molasses, it matured for 19 years, yielding a robust 55.1% ABV. This rum presents a complex aroma of floral, vegetal, and citrus notes, merging into hints of rose and violet. On the palate, it unfolds a warm, floral, and woody profile, complemented by citrus and synthetic nuances. Users note a distinct character marked by varnish and a lingering warm finish, reminiscent of tar and banana flavors. Though some highlight the unique synthetic quality, its dense and vibrant profile makes it a notable Caroni expression.

    "On a un nez avec moins de notes empyreumatiques que d’accoutumĂ© avec Caroni, c’est dense, c’est fruitĂ© (banane) mais on retrouve par la suite les marqueurs typiques de Caroni avec la ligne de dĂ©part 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 vĂ©gĂ©tales et florales (rose-violette). La finale est chaude et c’est bon. Un vrai rum de pirate comme nous l’annonçait l’étiquette !"

    "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 trÚs particulier "
