    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love how this 1996 Caroni balances sweet caramel with classic tar and rubber, plus polished wood, leather and minty hints. Despite 66.7%, the alcohol feels well integrated, giving an oily texture and long caramel‑oak finish. It opens up beautifully with time or a few drops of water. A popular, limited release (738 bottles) highly rated by 69 reviewers—elegant, deep Caroni character with real power.

    Great Caroni and one of the best 96 I've ever had in the glass. Absolutely cool matured, in the nose a dream and in the mouth with the best I've ever had. Outstanding

    2 drops of water, 2 hours in a glencairn glass before the tasting. It's a beautiful Caroni, very elegant and deep. The best bottle of the 5th employees release. Gorgeous!

    Beim zweiten Versuch gefällt er mir viel besser. Sehr intensiv und würzig. Toller Caroni.

    Šestý zaměstnanec večere. Ve vůni jde první lešťenka, později sladké tóny karamelu. V chuti je to komolexní zážitek, dřevo, kůže, leštěnka, espresso, v ústech tvoří olejnatý a hutný dojem. Závěr je dlouhý a člověk opravdu nechce, aby zkončil. Nádhera.
