    How does this rum taste?

    • Balanced flavor profile
    • Distinctive Caroni notes
    • Complex aroma

    The Weiron Caroni Rum, distilled in 1999 in Trinidad and bottled by Svenska Eldvatten, embodies the distinctive Caroni profile with a balance of caramel, tar, and barrel notes. Aging for 17 years at an ABV of 55.3%, it delivers a complex blend of roasted, mineralistic undertones and a subtle fruity aroma.

    "Dieser Caroni kann mich nicht überzeugen. In der Nase nehme ich in erster Linie Werkstatt und Karamell wahr. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich leicht und weich mit einer karamelligen Anfangssüße, die dann in florale Aromen (Veilchen) abdriftet. Etwas Gewürze und Werkstatt sind auch noch vorhanden. Der Abgang ist relativ kurz und sehr eindimensional (Kaffee/Gewürze)"

    "Relaxed Caroni with classic Caroni notes in the profile - but quite balanced. One of the early releases from 1999, but already showing the potential of the vintage. A nice "drinking Caroni" with a little air."

    "Very well balanced nose. Caroni notes are present and clearly identifiable however acompanied by quite some tropical fruits rather than dried fruits which you can find in other Caronis more often. With some time in the Glas dirty notes become more present. Also very balanced on the palate - some dirt and mineralis notes with notes from the cask and caramel fudge. In contrast to the nose I don‘t get much fruits here."
