How does this rum taste?
The Caroni HTR 1997 by Cadenhead’s is a potent, characterful rum with a robust 60.6% ABV. Distilled in Trinidad and aged for 20 years, it offers an intense aromatic profile of rubber, smoky wood, and caramel. The palate is a bold mix of woody, peppery, and caramel flavors, with underlying spicy notes. Users appreciate its complex bouquet, featuring tar, leather, and tropical fruit hints. Despite some finding it a bit strong and challenging, many consider it a well-balanced, contemplative rum. Its long, spicy finish and formidable expression make it a standout in the Caroni lineup, aimed at drinkers who enjoy bold, mature rums with a twist of the unexpected.

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.
Very spicy. Has an interesting sweetness that goes well with the rest of the flavors.
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🇹🇹.
Now this is a continentally aged Caroni I absolutely love! Quite alcoholic upon first whiff but those diesel/tar notes are there! The taste is just right up my street... lots of dirty tropical fruits and those typical diesel/tar notes are present but with a nice hint of charred wood and spice. Very peppery on the finish but those dirty notes keep on coming! Love me a 97!
