8.8/10

A much sweeter nose than its 1997 sibling, with oak, caramel and tropical fruit to the fore and machine shop flavors a little in the background, but once you've analyzed them, they seem quite present. A fresh, vegetal side is also present, but much less pronounced than in the 1997. The palate is smooth, full, aromatic and complex. The finish is long, with woody, bitter and caramel aromas gently taking over. A much more consensual rum than the 1997, better in a way but also less interesting.

The test included the WDC 1997, WDC 1998 and TheRumCask 1997. The loser, if you can call it that, was the WDC 1997 for me personally. The TRC 1997 and the WDC 1998 were for me personally equally strong in their own way.

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 620 Rums

No closed distillery is chased harder than Caroni. The Trinidad distillery shut down around 2002 and not a drop has been made since, but its heavy, oily, almost diesel-like rum became a collector obsession, carried to the world by Velier. Every bottle now comes from a finite, shrinking stock, which is exactly why the prices keep climbing.
