How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this 1998 Caroni for its classic tarry rubber and leather profile balanced by an unusual touch of sweetness. Expect leather, smoky spice, tobacco and roasted notes over woody oak, with the 64.3% ABV impressively well integrated. Many find it complex yet accessible for Caroni, with occasional vanilla peeking through. A popular, limited release (376 bottles) with 55 community reviews and strong buyer confidence.

My first Caroni bottle, the second is just about to be split and emptied. The alcohol is very well integrated and the typical dirty Caroni aromas are very present. Ideal for (soon-to-be) poor Caroni disciples =D
8,4:On the nose, roasted wood notes with toffee, nutty, oaky, rubber and menthol, dried apricots and raisins, tropical fruits, are the first thing we notice, slightly rigid. On aeration, the rum is dirty, industrial with tar, the fruits citrus and berries, the molasses herbaceous, as new roasted wood notes, slightly smoky like coffee, confectionery, spicy with vanilla, arise. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is tasty, but a bit alcoholic, dry, slightly sweet with roasted wood notes like cream toffee, chocolate, then leather, peppery and smoky, industrial with rubber and tar, fruity with citrus, dried apricots and cherries, as the molasses is herbaceous. 8,5:The finish is long, dry&tannic, roasted wood notes with spice overpower others, the barrel impact is very strong, still we could notice rubber and tar, citrus and berries, herbaceous molasses, dark with black tea..
Very smooth Caroni with rather subtle, dirty aromas. Unusually sweet for a Caroni, but still pleasant. Perfect, accessible Caroni entry.
Quite dirty on the nose. Lacks complexity on the palate. Very dark notes forwards complimented with some dirt.
