How does this rum taste?
Textbook, approachable dirty Caroni
If you’re ready to understand what “Caroni dirt” means, this is the safest starting point: full-on workshop aromas, but tamed proof and plenty of vanilla and fruit to keep it drinkable.
Beginners expecting sweet, smooth rum, or drinkers who dislike rubber, tar and diesel notes, or who want lush fruitiness instead of dry, woody intensity.
Unfortunately too wise

Très bon caroni! Le plus jeune de la série velier mais il n'a pas à rougir devant c'est 3 frères. Il porte fièrement les couleurs de la distillerie. Si tu n'aime pas ce rum c'est que tu n'aime pas caroni selon moi
An old residual sample, but the nose is promising. Pure Caroni, this rum takes no prisoners despite the 50%. Very fresh, plenty of dirty workshop and fruitiness. Then it cleans up in the mouth! Have I been sucking on the gas can? With plenty of caramel. It becomes tame on the finish. The essence of Caroni. Awesome!
Auto-translatedUn super Caroni. Douceur et fraîcheur. Dommage que les prix aient décollé.
Tohle je caroni dle mého gusta. Guma, dehat, dřevo. Intenzivní technický nos, projdeme se dědovou dílnou. Zastavíme se, napijeme se, a do té dilny se na dlouho vrátíme. Mám tyhle technické caroni moc rád, v tomto případě lahev, která je stále celkem dostupná. Vynikající.
