This Caroni rum impresses with intense tar and smoky notes, balanced by hints of vanilla and wood. Its 23-year aging provides depth, yet some miss the classic 'dirty' Caroni profile.

    Smoky Caroni. I like!

    11.06.2021 A nice evening with some friends at the beach bringing some nice rums. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, spice, faint rubber, workshop, cherry. Palate Balanced, light wood, faint tar, light rubber, faint smoke, raisin, light cherry, spice, faint coffee. Finish Medium to long, light wood, faint smoke, rubber, medium dry, light coffee, faint cherry.

    Round, continental Caroni that doesn't offend anywhere. The dirty notes are missing. However, some smoke does come through, which is unusual. However, it is fun and was affordable at the release price.

    A somewhat unusual Caroni. Lots of alcohol at the beginning, which is not so well integrated, then light wood notes, smoke, few typical Caroni notes, some vanilla. The finish is surprisingly short.
