    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers love this Caroni’s balance: ripe tropical fruit and caramel meet the distillery’s signature rubber-tar notes, rounded by a cooling menthol thread. At 58.5%, it opens beautifully with a little time, delivering woody, leathery depth and a long finish. Often enjoyed neat, it’s a limited 1997 release aged 22 years 11 months, selected by Corman Collins & Bristol. With 43 RumX reviews, confidence is building for this characterful sipper.

    Wahou! Le nez est chouette, plein de choses variées mais équilibrées. La bouche est juste top! C'est les caroni que j'aime vraiment ou le fruit est bien présent avec tout le reste et ou le vieux boisé mentholé ne vient pas tout emporter. J'ai adoré. Alors merci Roger 😉

    Stärkster 97er Caroni, den Ich bisher im Glas hatte. Sehr ausgewogen. Einfach ein toller Rum. Zweitverkostung: immer noch geil und dreckig. Gegen den Bürgermeister 97er etwas schwächer, aber auch 5% weniger

    Un Caroni gourmand et équilibré. C'est une sélection réussie.

    A very nice Caroni release. Fruity with sweet notes alongside typical Caroni profile makes a perfect match. Cheers to Roger and Corman 👏
