“14.12.2023 Retasting this rum and I still love it. The Caroni notes are more subtle but the overall balance is nice. --------------- Once this rum is rested the Caroni notes just come crawling across the table. I rested it for 15+ minutes before giving it a go. The nose has smoky wood, tar and rubber trailed by caramel, orange and a light earthy note. The palate is kind of in your face with roasted/smoky wood, tar, rubber, mango, caramel and light tobacco and iodine. What I like is the warm pepperyness on the palate. The finish is long and warm with wood and some earthy notes.”

“Great bottling and very different compared to the Kolonne Still Caroni from Cadenheads, which I had in my glass shortly before. Both great, but fundamentally different Profil🇹🇹.”
