How does this rum taste?
The 1998 Trinidad rum from Caroni distillery, aged 23 years and bottled by The Colours of Rum, delivers a robust and captivating experience at 62.2% ABV. Garnering consistent praise for its unique blend of chamomile, rubber, and brown sugar aromas, this full-bodied rum offers intriguing flavors including spicy tobacco and earthy rubber notes. The rum expertly balances its 'dirty' Caroni character with lighter, unexpected hints of tea and flowery undertones, making it a distinctive choice among aged Caroni expressions. Ideal for both enthusiasts and collectors, users find it smoother and more approachable compared to other high-proof offerings, while still maintaining the traditional Caroni intensity.

12th GRF, Colours of Rum Tasting. Quick and short... Nose: rubber glove, plastic, some bacon too, toasty. Yes, Caroni. Vanilla. But a bit restrained... Palate: strong here, nice and sweet, bacon, singed plastic, little mint, very round and pleasant, I like very much.
Tasted at the 12th GRF Bonus and highlight at the Colours of Rum Tasting. Very smooth, much Caroni but of course there's such a bottle not free.
Das Überraschungssample im colours of Rum Tasting danke Steffen 😀 Ist ein schöner caroni aus 98 intensiv nicht überfordernd. Die dreckigen Noten sind da aber leicht versteckt.Mir gefällt er sehr gut.
Probiert auf dem 12. GRF, in der Masterclass bei Colours of Rum und präsentiert von Special-Guest Steffen „Caroni“ Mayer: In der Nase das klassische Caroni-Profil, wie viele 98er eher auf der süßen Seite. Am Gaumen dann auch ordentlich Dreck, das was wir an Caroni so lieben, aber auch nicht zu stark. Dazu etwas Tabak und grüner Tee, was diesen Caroni durchaus etwas speziell macht. Insgesamt reicht es nicht für die Spitzengruppe, aber trotzdem eine sehr schöne Abfüllung aus unserer verlorenen Lieblingsdistille
