Berry Bros & Rudd Caroni Trinidad Rum Charles Hofer S.A.
Distinct smoky, rubber and dark chocolate notes sit alongside oaky, velvety textures. Not the heaviest Caroni, but worth a try if you enjoy subtle earthiness.
Smoky, velvety Caroni—complex, approachable, nuanced, not too heavy.

How does this rum taste?
- Profil Caroni est bien là
- wonderful nose transferred into a perfectly balanced palate
- wunderbare Komplexität, sehr samtiges Mundgefühl
Caroni fans will spot the signature smoky, rubbery edge straight away, with dark chocolate, caramel, and some earthy, oaky undertones swirling through. The nose is "marqué par le bois, un bois carbonisé avec du fumé" (cigares), and many voice appreciation for the velvety texture. Still, several note the dilution affects the body: "Schmeckt recht rauchig... auch verwässert, was dem Profil nicht gut tut" (Leo Krüper). While the complexity and long finish do impress, not everyone is sold on the lighter touch.

"A Berry Caroni bottled for Charles Hofer in Switzerland. A nose marked by wood, charred wood with smokiness and fruitiness too. The palate is open, full-bodied with tropical fruit, wood and an earthy edge. The finish is splendidly long, with aromas that combine and renew themselves. A wonderful surprise! Taste again as soon as possible."
"This is a very nice rum from Berry Bros. & Rudd. It has a wonderful nose transferred into a perfectly balanced palate. Palate wise we have a velvety complex taste that changes a bit in the followup sips. Leave for a while to rest so that all flavours can be released. The price to quality on this bottle is extremely good. "
"Sehr schöne Abfüllung, wäre nur nicht die Verdünnung. Dennoch, von der Nase bis zum Abgang alles sehr passend. Wunderbare Komplexität, sehr samtiges Mundgefühl. Ein wenig Kraft fehlt ihm am Ende, allerdings geht der deshalb wunderbar auch mal so. Caroni für den täglichen Gebrauch…das waren noch Zeiten."
"Unfortunately for me, this Rum really suffers from the reduction. It is allthroughout just too thin..."
