    How does this rum taste?

    Smooth, herbal twist on classic Caroni dirt

    Most love its smooth yet intense Caroni dirt, herbal tea/tobacco twist and good balance. Critics find nose a bit muted and finish shorter or bitter. Consensus: a very good, quieter 1998 Caroni.

    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy Caroni dirt but don’t want to be steamrolled, this is a great pick: classic notes are there, wrapped in smoother fruit, tea and tobacco at cask strength.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, anyone sensitive to 62% ABV, or drinkers expecting ultra-dirty, in-your-face Caroni intensity and a very long, sweet finish.

    Aroma

    Chamomile Rubber Tar Dark chocolate

    Taste

    Rubber Tobacco Tar Full bodied

    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
