How does this rum taste?
RumX reviewers love this 1996 Caroni for its dirty-sweet balance and surprisingly easy 66.1% strength. Expect caramel and toasted wood on the nose, then tar, rubber and leather wrapped in dark chocolate on the palate. The finish is long and woody with hints of burnt sugar and citrus freshness. With 57 reviews and strong buyer confidence, this limited 741-bottle release earns consistent praise.

Wow damn tasty. The palate gives what the nose promises.
Superb Caroni
Beeindruckende Nase einerseits nach Toffee, Karamell, gelben Früchten und Holz, andererseits nach zurückhaltend dreckigen Noten von Klebstoff, Teer und Gummi. Wow, genialer dreckiger Geschmack mit ausgeprägtem Teer und etwas Gummi. Trotzdem süß mit Karamell, braunem Zucker und Fass. Der Abgang ist lang mit teerigen Noten und einer tollen frische von Zitrusfrüchten, sowie warmen Noten von dunkler Schokolade. Tolle Geschmacksexplosion eines sehr guten 96er Caroni.
Ein ganz toller Caroni. Ölige Konsistenz, je länger im Mund desto sirupartiger, viel dunkle Schokolade, im Antritt etwas pfeffrig, Alkohol easy eingebunden. Langer Abgang, viel Fass (positiv). Toll!
