One member swears there's Haribo cola bottles in the glass, and once you spot that sweet-cola note next to the tar, you can't unsee it. This is a Caroni that leans elegant for the style: petrol, roasted wood and burnt sugar are all there, but reined in, with honey, orange peel and tropical fruit softening the dirt. Long, dry, tannic finish, and the 61.6% sits well integrated.
The community says- Classic tar markers
- Cola-honey twist
- Keep in mind: Dry tannic finish

How does Distilia Caroni Lion's Whisky (10th Anniversary Edition) Heavy Trinidad Rum 1998 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Elegant, cola-tinged Caroni with tar and honey A widely-liked Caroni that tasters call the tamer, more elegant end of the spectrum — the dirty markers are present but reined in. The alcohol reads well integrated.

Weekend trip with my brother to our old home Oelde in memory of our father. Last rum for today, a really strong Caroni, tar is noticeable, but also slightly caramel and vanilla. Delicious.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very tasty but also tame caroni. Has something of Haribo cola bottles with smoked sandalwood, some tropical fruits and gasoline. Overall, however, very light and elegant. But I especially like this light cola note😀

Review by ilRummista
A powerful, strong and even dirty Caroni but with an elegant side tempered by hints of honey, vanilla and orange peel. An excellent drink, pleasant, complex, powerful and yet elegant! It is also worth buying the bottle
Review by Skyfly
I had to smile at Philipp's note at first, but it's true: Haribo cola on the nose. Alongside that, mainly tar, tropical fruits, and burnt sugar. On the palate, it gets a bit dirtier, but the cola bottles remain; the finish is very similar. Overall, a nice bottling that's definitely worth the money!
Review by alex
Magnificent juice Finds the Caroni markers, The dirty side, With notes of leather Tropical fruits, Vanilla A lot of pleasure in this glass Great length on the palate Alcohol is perfectly integrated Tar but not too much, and reminiscent of the distillery's markers. 😍😍😍
Review by Johannes
I am positively surprised! Nice sweetness, at the same time the typical dirty Caroni notes. Overall nice complexity!
Review by FischeJ
Quite accessible. Still dirty and dark. Rather little fruit. Cola fits pretty well too. Nice sweetness.
