The Whisky Jury Caroni Rum Trinidad 1998
Here's the twist: this is a Caroni that plays it gentle. The tar, rubber and licorice markers are all there, but softer and rounder than the heavy 1998s many hunt for. A few tasters found real caramel and a touch of olive, though most agree the alcohol never fully settles — several call it hot and not perfectly integrated. Give it time in the glass.
The community says- Classic Caroni markers
- Caramel and olive
- But: Alcohol not integrated

How does The Whisky Jury Caroni Rum Trinidad 1998 taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Milder, rounder Caroni with hot edge Recognizably Caroni — tar, rubber, licorice — but on the milder, rounder side. Well liked, though many note the ABV feels hot and not fully integrated. A gentler take on the profile.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 4 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, light workshop, light olive, faint chocolate, light cherry. Palate Oily, light wood, light tannins, faint coffee, light chocolate, faint coffee, faint salt. Finish Medium long, light wood, faint chocolate, light tannins, faint earthy, faint coffee. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to make the ABV settle properly.
Review by Mentalo
Die 1998er Caroni Abfüllung von The Whisky Jury weicht jetzt nicht signifikant von den 98er Caronis ab, die ich schon kenne. Die dreckigen Noten sind vorhanden, auch wenn sie nicht so ausgeprägt sind. Leider ist der Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden. Braucht bisschen mehr Zeit im Glas.

Salon Du Rhum 2024 Great Caroni. It's been a long time since I tasted a heavy Caroni. This one stil packs a punch.
