Sip it neat and give it air: the classic Caroni markers are here — burnt plastic, rubber, tar and smoky oak — with tobacco and a warm, pepper-spiced body at 55%. What sets this one apart is a real sweetness, almost sherried, that rounds off the edges. Several tasters call it a softer, more flattering Caroni; a few purists wish it stayed drier.
The community says- Classic tar and rubber
- Long smoky finish
- Keep in mind: Too sweet for purists

How does Rum Nation Caroni 1999 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Softer, sweeter Caroni with rubber and smoke A rounded, sweeter take on Caroni — rubber, tar and smoke are all there, softened by vanilla and sherry. Most enjoy it; hardcore petrol-heads find it too gentle.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is definitely a heavy Caroni, but in a totally different way than the regular one. The nose has the tupivmcsl rubber and fuel and tar to it. There is also a heavy note with alcohol and tobacco and spice with a tad of sherry if you leave it to rest. The palate has some natural sweetness to it with sherry and wine. Rubber and smoky oak and tobacco follows in the next sips. The finish is extremely long and heated from the proof, at the same time heavy and with smoke and tobacco. The following day the glass is heavy with oak and smoke.
Review by Jakob
Crisp Caroni with subtle sweetness and powerful spices.
Review by Vincent D
Not Caroni. The markers like rubber or tar are there. The rum seems heavy, woody, also mentholated. On the palate, it's powerful. Rubber, pepper. Woody well present. Then a very perceptible and very pleasant vanilla sweetness. Warm, smoky finish. Tobacco appears. Very pleasant length.
Review by Tom Buteneers
A bit too much on the sweet for a Caroni (for me). Still quite enjoyable though!
Review by Ayc
A very beautiful rum. The integration of the alcohol is excellent and the 55% suits it wonderfully. The empyreumatic side of Caroni is there without being excessive. You get burnt plastic, rubber and a touch of smoke at the end of the mouth but overall it is round, flattering and relatively accessible. A slight acidity at the end of the mouth that can be found on some TDLs reminiscent of red fruit. I'll buy the bottle without hesitation.
