8.1/10

Crosstasting 1997er Caronis aus kontinentaler Lagerung: Knackiges HTR-Profil mit überraschender Feurigkeit. Im Profil mit angenehmer Aromenbreite, bespielt die gesamte Bandbreite der lange gelagerten HTR-Welt und gefällt mit zugänglicher Aromatik, es fehlt aber an Alleinstellungsmerkmalen.

Distillery

Caroni 

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 610 Rums

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.
