CDI Caroni Trinidad 1993
"Is this even a Caroni?" is the question that keeps coming up. Several members expected the usual tar and diesel and got something lighter instead — vanilla, orange peel, tropical fruit, a whisper of varnish and menthol, with oak taking over the finish. One taster loved it for exactly that fruity, easy-drinking side. Others found it thin and short on Caroni character.
The community says- Fruity Caroni nose
- Well-integrated ABV
- But: Untypical Caroni

Review by Galli33
What an amazing rum! Very good balanced rum and alcohol is integrated very well! Pleasant to drink. Caroni untypical fruity notes in the nose. Delicious and mild in the mouth with some notes of different tropical fruits and oak. Finish in medium long with a dominant taste of the barrel. Only minus is the unspectacular finish!
Review by YoukiPassion
The rum is still quite pleasant to taste, but has nothing in common with a classic caroni. Little character.
Review by Johannes
Soll das ein Caroni sein ? Der Rum hat eigentlich nichts mit den typischen Caroni-Noten zu tun. Könnte meines Erachtens eher ein Angostura sein…auf jeden Fall ein LTR.
Review by Alain DARNAN
very disappointing for a pricey rum
Review by Jakob
Ein leichter Rum mit im subjektiven Geschmacksempfinden hohem Anteil an neutralem Alkohol. Leider für mich wenig ansprechend, da weder geschmackliche Komplexität noch besonders harmonische Grundnoten vorhanden sind. Insgesamt noch angenehm, aber ohne Aussagekraft.
