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

Another nice release from Corman Collins. Price to quality can be argued but it is still pretty good. The Caroni notes are there and I like the caramel note on the profile. I got a feeling of mint or eucalyptus on the profile but I'm not a 100% sure.

Nase: sehr alkoholisch, ich gebe ihm noch ein paar Minuten... Nach ca. 30 Minuten ist die alkoholische Schärfe deutlich milder. Und jetzt habe ich auch wieder die Assoziation zu einer alten, geteerten, schweren Eisenbahnschwelle aus Eichenholz im August bei 35°C im Schatten. Daneben Karamellsüße und Trockenfrüchte. Gaumen: sehr kräftig, viel Fass und Röstaromen, dadurch recht bitter und leicht salzig aber ausgesprochen rund und ausgewogen. Der Nachklang wird sehr dominiert von den Röstaromen und vom Fass. Ich bin kein Caroniexperte aber hätte mir mehr Fruchtigkeit gewünscht. Der Rum erinnert mich wegen seiner bitteren Seite sehr an verschiedene Guyana KFM Abfüllungen.

Stärkster 97er Caroni, den Ich bisher im Glas hatte. Sehr ausgewogen. Einfach ein toller Rum.

Für einen 97er zuerst erstaunlich rund, aber im Abgang kommen dann Bitternoten.

Ein Caroni der zurückhaltenden Art! Nicht sehr komplex aber gut zum sippen! Alkohol gut eingebunden!

Sehr schöner Caroni mit dem Flair vollständiger tropischer Reife. Sehr, sehr rund und ausgewogen. „Mittel-dreckig“. Tiefes, öliges Karamell (das erinnert sehr stark an Velier). Nicht sehr komplex. Der Genießer-Caroni.

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 😉

Pas fan de Caroni mais j'ai été étonné du nez qu'il propose. Au goût il reste assez doux par rapport à d'autre Caroni, malgré tout on retrouve toujours les mêmes marqueur.

Schöner Caroni, der neben den bekannten Werkstattnoten auch eine Portion rote und getrocknete Früchte mitbringt. Gut eingebundener Alkohol. Etwas Standzeit tut ihm gut.

It’s always a pleasure tasting a Caroni..this one as all the right distinctive marks..it’s dirty, rubbery, with a fresh note of menthol and a fruity background, that later develops into more earthy flavors (I get slightly bitter licorice roots). The palate adds a spicy flavor, along with some citrus. Finish is long and warm. In comparison with some Caroni from Velier, gotta say that it is less powerful and less dirty, it doesn’t cling to your mouth like tar. Nevertheless, it’s a hell of a dram!

Ein grundsätzlich schöner Caroni mit spannender Tiefe, die angesichts der sehr dominanten Noten von verkohltem Holz aber etwas zu stark ins Hintertreffen geraten. Da hat das ausgebrannte Fass zu stark wirken dürfen. Wem dieser Geschmack zusagt, der wird hier einen interessanten Caroni mit durchaus eigenem Profil finden. Meins war es weniger, dennoch kein schlechter Rum.

Haaa, the nose is coming together. It is rounder than the 98, it smells the almond, the vanilla. In the mouth, there are plum, raisins, tobacco, mango. And in the finish the leather and the Belgian chocolate ....! A real length as we like them. I have a small preference for this 97 compared to the 98 but the agricultural ones will have had my preference during this evening! Here we are at the end of this exceptional tasting. We took pleasure to discover these rums. But especially to discuss, laugh and share. Again a huge thank you to Seb and Quentin for this dinguerie of lineup.

Un rhum qui demande un peu de temps pour s'ouvrir. Un Caroni assez fin, aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, mais assez classique finalement dans son déroulé. Un bon moment et une belle sélection donc !
