How does this rum taste?
The Reserve Rum of Trinidad Sherrywood, crafted at the Caroni Distillery and aged for 10 years, offers a unique profile blending sherry, tar, and raisin flavors with hints of vanilla and caramel. With its 46% ABV, users appreciate its sherry dominance and smooth, smoky finish, though some find the sherry influence overpowering. While the Caroni distillery’s industrial markers are subtly present, this rum appeals more to those who have a penchant for whisky, offering a slightly dry, complex taste. The long finish with a gentle sweetness and the minor acidic or bitter hint adds to its intrigue. However, some feel it lacks intensity and could be better balanced.

Dégustation de quelques Caronis de chez Bristol. De l’alcool et du fût de Sherry au nez avec des raisins passerillés. La bouche est vive mais pas alcoolique comme au nez. La finale est longue, légèrement sucrée avec un petit côté acide/amer du plus bel effet. Tout à la fin comme un goût de nillon (le résidu après le pressage de l’huile de noix). Un rhum très intéressant, hélas trop dilué à mon goût.
The sherry is very dominant on this not so typical Caroni. I'd say that the ABV is a bit unbalanced on the palate. The nose is fruity with sherry a lot os sherry actually, vanilla, tar, caramel and light wood. The palate is again dominated by sherry trailed by fruits, tar, caramel and smoky wood. The finish is medium long with fruits, wood and light tar.
Bristol Caroni Vergleich: Hmm, eher zu Sherry lastig. Mag das Profil bei Whisky, aber bei Rum zu dominant. Das CaronibProil schafft es nur bedingt sich durchzusetzen, dennich sind die industrialellen Marker da. Nicht schlecht, aber nicht mein Fall.
