How does this rum taste?
The Caroni 1989 rum, crafted at Trinidad’s renowned Caroni distillery, is a limited release with only 392 bottles. Aged for 30 years and bottled at cask strength with a 52.8% ABV, it was selected by Isla del Ron. This rum features a nose with complex aromas of caramel, phenol, and mint, leading to a flavor profile marked by minty notes, dark chocolate, and raisin. Although lighter and smoother than traditional Caronis, it offers a unique blend with a sherry finish, appreciated for its drinkability but debated for its authenticity to the Caroni name. This rum is ideal for those seeking a rare, sophisticated experience.

#4759 22.06.2024 Nice tasting afternoon and evening with Hannes at the shop in Odense. Nose Light, light wood, faint caramel, spice, dried fruit, floral, light chocolate. Palate Light, oily, light wood, light chocolate, dried fruit, faint mint, light floral, light medicinal. Finish Medium long, light wood, light cherry, dried fruit, light medicinal, faint chocolate. This is a very light Caroni without the traditional Caroni notes. Not bad but not a Ding Ding version either.
Relatively light and relaxed "easy sipping" caroni. Alcohol well integrated and unusually little woody and tasty for the age, sherry finish is definitely very concise but not too dominant.
Strange Caroni. Tastes like aged neutral alcohol with a sherry finish. Somehow it has nothing to do with Caroni. I would be very interested in the story behind this vintage...
... Caroni je destilerie z Trinidadu, produkujici v dobe sve nejvetsi slavy rum, ktery se pridaval v pomeru 1:10 do namornickeho blendu. Byl totiz moc vyrazny a divny nez aby byl prijemny na jazyku. V roce 2000 destilerka skoncila s produkci a byla uzavrena. Az v roce 2010 se objevili degustatori, kteri si rum oblibili prave pro jeho specialni chut. A zajem rostl. Caroni patri do kategorie rumu "you need to try before you die". Doporucuji, Caroni je opravdu unikatni rum.
