Sipped neat, this is classic Caroni: tar and rubber up front, diesel and heavy oak behind, with leather and a dark caramel sweetness underneath. One taster catches banana and a cool menthol edge poking through. At 60.6% it's intense and drying — give it time in the glass. A 24-year-old single cask for people who already love that oily, industrial Trinidad style.
The community says- Deep tar and rubber

How does Wu Dram Clan Caroni Single Cask 1997 taste?
Summarized by AI from 16 community reviews.
Tarry, oily 24yr Caroni for the initiated Well-liked among Caroni fans, though a few rate it just behind its 1998 sibling — one flags a mid-palate dip that feels almost diluted before the finish recovers.

Review by cigares
A nose marked by mechanical workshop flavors with diesel and tar but tropical fruits are not far and the wood, a heavy oak and caramel give a quite fascinating dark side. A fresh side with menthol and vegetal, almost floral complete this beautiful picture. The mouth is lively and aromatic at first, then unfortunately a hollow passage, with an impression of dilution, then the mechanical workshop aromas, the oak and the fruits come back. The finish is long, balanced. Strange this impression of dilution from which this rum does not recover, except at the very end. Compared to its 1998 brother, it is more interesting but with less balance in the mid-palate. A pity!
Review by zabo
The WDC 1997, WDC 1998, and TheRumCask 1997 were tested. The loser, if you can call it that, was the WDC 19
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one needed to rest a bit longer than the other two in order to release all its flavours. The nose has wood, rubber, vanilla and banana with leather and ginger trailing behind. I'm not sure if I get eucalyptus or menthol in there but there is a light note of one of them. The palate is intense, lightly dry and spicy with rubber wood and spices followed closely by banana and lovely caramel. The finish is very long and dry with wood, rubber and spices balanced by caramel.
Review by Jakob
For me, it falls a bit behind the 98 due to the too strong roasted notes.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Wow that's good! I have to say that tar, leather, dried fruit, wood really got me in this one. I didn't expect much, but here I am really satisfied. Beautiful end to the evening.
Review by alex
Really top, I love it and rank it just below the other #2109
Review by Lot-NAS
Nice drop, but for me it still falls a bit short of expectations.
