Bristol Caroni Reserve Rum of Trinidad Sherrywood
Loved by Winetrader, Robert M. & 5 more
A solid stepping stone Caroni for those building their palate: light-bodied, sherry‑finished Trinidad rum at 43%. RumX members note caramel, light wood, cherry, citrus and gentle smoke—more easygoing than classic heavy Caroni funk.

Fans seeking intense, dirty Caroni funk or very dry, high-ABV rums; anyone sensitive to sherry cask influence or looking for an undosed, no-nonsense profile.

Review by Winetrader
The palate of this Rum is more aggressive, with more wood. The palate is also a little less elegant, and the finish is more rustic and much less elegant. A very interesting Rum, however
Review by Harald
Color: Chestnutoloroso Sherry Aroma: Mild, leather, toffee, tropical fruit (banana), roasted almond. Toasted. Taste: Mild in the mouth with toffee. Medium intensity. Unpleasant taste of bad sherry when swallowing. Woody, nutty. Finish: Medium length Bitter aftertaste, old rotten wood, bad sherry. Conclusion: Does not taste good, dominated by bad sherry.
