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

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.

Messebewertung Ein kontinentaler 98er Caroni wie viele andere... Alkohol sehr kräftig
Review by Johannes
Alcohol not optimally integrated, but tasty good Caroni!
