“A real Caroni from the first nose, mechanical workshop and tropical fruits. Much better after a few months of opening the bottle, as Caronis like oxidation. The mouth is not left out with a long finish. Very nice rum ! Tasted again and even better.”

“I really like this well balanced 22 year old caroni, which was finished for 3 years in used Oloroso casks. The nose is intense and stats with tannins and tar, but then descends into and oaky, herbal and medicinal bliss. The palate is dark and intense with a load of flavours. The medicinal note is still there with coffee, orange peel and the sherry cask notes. The finish is long with oak, sherry and a touch of licorice. The medicinal touch is also there. Very well balanced Caroni and I'm going to enjoy having this one on my shelf. A bit expensive but also rare with less than 1000 bottles.”

“Sage tea and tar and medicine on the nose, as well as in the taste. very mild and long not as dirty as other caronis but still not my cup of tea. I don't like sage and I just don't think I'm going to be a caroni fan, the sherry finish here tries to make some smooth and supple but for me it's just still too metallic and dirty. who's into it, go for it.”
