How does this rum taste?
Dirty yet elegant Caroni benchmark
If you already enjoy heavy Caroni or high-ester funk and want something slightly less brutal than full proof but just as characterful, this 1994 HTR hits that sweet middle spot.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike industrial, rubbery and tarry notes and prefer light, sweet, easygoing rums.

Ein großer Rum, perfekt ausbalanciert. Für mich in der richtigen Mitte aus Teer und Süße auf der Caroni-Skala. Hat von allem ein bisschen und trifft genau die perfekte Mitte. Einige Röstaromen und trotz der 55% hier die volle Power.
The surprise of the 1994 lineup! Balanced and complex at the same time. Perfectly integrated alcohol. My reference from 1994.
Ein leichter und doch intensiver Caroni mit genau den typischen Aromen, die ich am Caroni so mag… Das niedrige Alkoholvolumen steht im gut; so lässt er sich relativ entspannt genießen, ohne Einbußen am Geschmackserlebnis hinnehmen zu müssen. Erstklassig
#4445 03.11.2023 got some nice samples from a friend and though small they're still really good. Well rounded with very nice Caroni notes. Light fruit with some chocolate and nuts. The finish is long and warm with an earthy touch.
