I can smell my dad's workshop in the aroma of this caroni, although less than I would expect in a caroni. Of the caronis I've had a chance to taste so far, this one has a rather sweeter start. However, this quickly transitions into technical notes that suit me and has a nice long finish. The nose is fine but the taste is unfortunately very diluted.

Good Caroni but 43%... Caroni is a distillery from Trinidad, producing during its heyday a rum that was added in a ratio of 1:10 to the naval blend. It was too strong and strange to be pleasant on the tongue. In 2000, the distillery stopped production and was closed. Only in 2010 did tasters appear who liked the rum precisely for its special taste. And interest grew. Caroni belongs to the category of rums "you need to try before you die." I recommend it, Caroni is truly a unique rum.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a rum for experienced rum drinkers. Very complex and extremely smoky. This rum was destilled in 1996 and bottled in 2011. Matured for 12 years in Trinidad.
Review by Johannes
Pretty dirty Caroni!
Review by Happy Oner
Na 43% krasne plný, těžký, dřevěný, aligátor vypálené, bourbon, lehce trop ovoce.
