Caroni RA Trinidad Rum HTR

Plenty of dirty, leathery character with a touch of unusual sweetness. One to try if you enjoy roasted, rubbery rums and gentle wood influence.

    How does this rum taste?

    • typische Aromatik für den 1998er Jahrgang
    • Sehr sanfter Caroni mit eher dezenten, dreckigen Aromen
    • Nicely balanced and complex

    If you’re chasing classic Caroni style, Rum Artesanal Trinidad Rum HTR has you covered: expect leathery tobacco, smoky rubber, and roasted notes, with an undercurrent of oak. For some, it leans sweeter than expected—"tolle Aromatik nach dem typischen verbrannten Caroni Gummi" (crazyforgoodbooze) and "unusual sweetness" (Oliver) come up—yet the spirit hangs onto those "dreckigen Aromen" (Dr.Django) Caroni heads love. The woodiness is ever-present, and complexity runs from the mechanical and fruity to the gently tarry, as Rowald Sweet Empire calls it, "nicely balanced and complex."

    "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"

    "Quite dirty on the nose. Lacks complexity on the palate. Very dark notes forwards complimented with some dirt."

    "Very smooth Caroni with rather subtle, dirty aromas. Unusually sweet for a Caroni, but still pleasant. Perfect, accessible Caroni entry."

    "Schöner HTR-Caroni, typische Aromatik für den 1998er Jahrgang. Tolle Komplexität, die intensiven dreckigen Noten sind prima eingebettet in Karamellsüsse und Gewürze. Im Abgang kommen auch ein paar frische Beerennoten dazu, die Abwechslung einbringen. Schöne Fassauswahl."
