CDI Caroni Trinidad 1993

    How does CDI Caroni Trinidad 1993 taste?

    Good rum, weak Caroni.
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy Trinidad rums like Angostura but want a relaxed entry into Caroni, this works—just don’t expect the full dirty powerhouse profile collectors rave about.

    Not really suitable for

    Hardcore Caroni fans seeking heavy tar, rubber and industrial notes, or anyone expecting cask-strength intensity and long, powerful finishes for the price.

    Aroma

    Fruity Cookie dough Pineapple Tar

    Taste

    Peppery Dark chocolate Apple Spicy

    Hardly typical Caroni flavors present. Tastes more like an Angostura. Disappointing bottling from Compagnie des Indes.

    Auto-translated

    Unfortunately for me an absolute flop. Tastes more like an Angostura rum with 1% caroni times obliquely viewed. Unfortunately very weak and quickly gone. Since the felicite with only 40% can even more....

    Auto-translated

    This is a very rare bottle and there is a reason why. This rum is a typical Caroni from the nose to the finish. The nose is velvety with tropical fruits and camphor, some barrel with the typical polish and tar as well. The palate is well balanced with plum and cherries in the foreground and smoky barrel and ester to it. The finish is long and persistent with plum and spices. Price to quality is very good.

    not really convincing. There are really clearly better Caroni's
