Those expecting ultra‑wild, powerful Caroni funk or a soft 40% dessert‑style sipper; a few find it slightly bitter or too dry.

Review by Boletus
The frequently mentioned, dirty notes of ''Caroni'' are limited here, but can definitely be detected and ideally complement this otherwise very fruity and fine drinking experience. A great rum for my palate!
Review by Benoit Mahe
A little too dark and bitter. Still a good Caroni.
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
A little gem 😍 Caroni markers dancing with fruit to a slightly spicy sound and dressed in a dark chocolate coat. I love
Review by Johannes
Easy sipping Caroni! Nicely balanced, little dirty notes, is absolutely fun because to drink!
Review by RumTaTa
Second and final tasting (the bottle is now empty)I have the impression that the medicinal notes have intensified in the time the bottle has been open. Resin has been added. The same on the palate. I did not remember it so intense.finish remains restrained. Better than I remembered him ( 3 points).This is my first Caroni and I'm honestly a little disappointed because I expected more. But so it is with expectations 😁Insgesamt but still a good rum.
Review by DomM
Nice Caroni notes on the nose. Taste wise not very present, however. Feels a little bit watered down.
Review by Niels
Not bad to the nose after a long aeration in the mouth it lacks something, it remains a good tasting anyway!
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
I begin my education little by little on the Caroni and this one is very pleasant because more consensual than his friends of Velier.
Review by Henry Davies
The palate and finish are surprisingly aligned. Nose is well balanced with some spice and burnt brown sugar. Real nail polish and rubber tyres in the mouth with a spicy finish which lingers and then dissipates. It’s a full bodied but not outrageous rum, good but not spectacular and given the Caroni “halo” was hoping for more
Review by Mc Pirate
Premier nez, bouteille ouverte depuis peu je trouve qu’il a la maladie de la bouteille (poussiéreux) ! Changement de verre et oxiydation, on retrouve des esters, de l’alcool et une complexité sur des notes empiromatiques ! Bouche très eau de vie sur l’alcool assez sec. Finale chaude sur le fumé.
