For the price, this is a very good caroni. Not so heavy and tarry. Nice fruits and chocolate note. A more delicate side of caroni. Hard to say its a Buy. But considering the price maybe it is. טעימה עולמית הבקבוק הפתיע אותי לטובה. נראה שקארוני גם ביישון לא טרופי וגם בפרופיל הפחות מלוכלך שלהם סך הכל מצליחים לספק חוויה מאוד חיובית ומעניינת. פירות בשלים. שוקולד מריר. קצת גומי וסרחון קל דיי מעניין. לדעתי במחיריל שלפעמים יש אותו במסטר אוף מלט מדובר בקנייה טובה סך הכל. במיוחד מי שנפש חפצה בקארוני מבלי לשבור את קופת החיסכון.

No closed distillery is chased harder than Caroni. The Trinidad distillery shut down around 2002 and not a drop has been made since, but its heavy, oily, almost diesel-like rum became a collector obsession, carried to the world by Velier. Every bottle now comes from a finite, shrinking stock, which is exactly why the prices keep climbing.
