Caroni hunters, this one's for you. Burnt rubber, tar and iodine lead the way, with cinnamon, chocolate and ripe fruit filling in behind — all the dirty workshop notes people chase from this closed Trinidad distillery. At 62.5% the alcohol sits surprisingly well integrated. Despite 20 years it stays light on oak, which keeps the funk front and center.

Dirty tar-and-rubber Caroni at full proof Every taster lands in the same place: a classic, well-balanced Caroni with all the dirty rubber-and-tar signatures intact. One found it a touch less deep than his favorites.

Review by cigares
Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar, day 24. An interesting and attractive nose, complex and deep even if the heavy and dark side largely dominates. Beautiful ripe fruits and spices too. The dirty, mechanic workshop side is well present even if I didn’t notice it at first. The mouth maybe reveals a Caroni, both soft and dirty, fruity and woody, round and acidic, bitter and smoky. In short, the complexity I expect from a Caroni. But without quite giving as much pleasure as some other rums from this mythical distillery. As if I was left wanting, as if the depth was missing here. A long and complex finish that reconciles me with this beautiful rum.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Despite the age this rum has very little wood to it, not a bad thing perse because all the dirty Caroni notes are there. The nose is fruity with spices and all the lovely Caroni flavours; rubber and tar. In the back i also get medicinal notes and caramel. The palate takes off where the nose left off. Spicy with fruit, spices and then rubber and tar. After resting there is even more flavours, chocolate, light earthy and medicinal notes. The finish is long with tropical fruits, spices, tobacco and light menthol notes. A lovely Caroni with a twist.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very round and balanced Caroni with a very classic profile. Caramelized banana, milk chocolate, cinnamon, dirty smoky notes, burnt rubber, some menthol and vanilla. Very well integrated alcohol! Surprisingly delicious!
Review by Martin Ekrt
Nice mix of technical notes on the nose, mainly rubber and hospital, combined with a light scent of vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, and fruit. On the palate, you mainly taste spices, pepper, and fruit, followed by a very well-done technical peppery finish.

Review by Hendrik Müller
A great Caroni, spicy, nutty, roasted aromas, slightly sweet on the finish, I really like it. The price-performance ratio is also top, with a good network you can get it for under 300, which is perfectly fine for the quality, at least for me.
