The Auld Alliance - Corman Collins Caroni 1998
Highly praised Caroni that balances dirty workshop notes with vanilla and fruit. Strong, long and characterful, considered a slightly tamer yet elegant take on the heavy Caroni profile.
Seasoned enthusiasts who enjoy heavy, industrial Caroni notes but appreciate a slightly fruitier, more approachable twist at cask strength.

How does this rum taste?
Elegant but dirty Caroni hitter

Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers expecting sweet, easygoing rum without tar, rubber and leathery bitterness.

Pas mal du tout , superbe surprise. C’est très bon, avec les marqueurs classiques de cette distillerie 🤩😍
Typical Caroni profile is perfectly mixed up with round notes like vanilla or banana leading to a nice balance ! Alcohol is perfectly integrated on both nose and palate. Super elegant profile despite the sharp notes of leather and wood. Definitely a great rum 😋
Don’t be afraid of “bicycle tube” “solvent”... this is a really elegant rum, upsetting tastes but everything at its place,
