On the nose, I would have thought more of a TDL than a Caroni. Wood, soft fruits like well-ripened apricot, menthol. It’s engaging. On the palate, the alcohol is well present. Woody framework and surprisingly sweet. A discreet fruit. Pepper. A sensation of burnt sugar and maybe a slightly dirty touch like tar, but discreet. Rather pleasant in the end. I like this profile. Edit: Discreet Caroni but not without interest. Nice.

Quite light and without much complexity, very fruity like Caroni.

Light Caroni, quite good but lacks complexity and intensity.

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.
