    How is this rum rated?

    8.0/10 12 reviews

    Light, continental Caroni at a low price. Doesn't tear up trees. Nor should it. Has all the markers that a large Caroni would have. Tar, honey, workshop. Nice aftertaste in an empty glass. On more % the rating would have been significantly higher.

    A Caroni that is rather easy to drink due to its low alcohol content. Nevertheless, it has rather dirty Caroni notes.

    This is a very disappointing Caroni and some of the traditional Caroni flavours are missing. A nutty medicinal nose with some added polish on top and black tea. The palate is alcoholic with wood and the medicinal note is back again as well as a lot of black tea. The finish is medium long, dry and bitter with a pinch of oak. Price does not match the quality.

    Politur, Karamellbonbons, Desinfektionsmittel, Petrolnoten wie in älteren, gereiften Weine und leicht vergorene Früchte in der Nase. Mokka, holzbetont, etwas scharf, sehr röstig/würzig, weniger medizinisch als noch in der Nase dann am Gaumen. Klingt durchaus bitter mittellang nach. Vor allem im Geruch spannend, der Geschmack steht etwas hinten an.
