Fans call this the easy way into Caroni, and the reviews back it up. The dirty markers — tar, rubber tyres, real nail polish — are there but dialed back, sitting next to burnt brown sugar, dark chocolate and a spicy, mineral finish. A few tasters find it a touch light, almost watered down at the edges. Still one most people happily rate a top pour.

How does TBRC Caroni HTR taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Approachable Caroni, tar and rubber dialed back Widely liked as an approachable Caroni — the tar and rubber are present but restrained. A few hoped the 20 years brought more punch; most call it a genuinely good pour.

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.

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 Timo Groeger
A Caroni in the Advent calendar, who would have thought it? One of the "weaker" ones, but still a Caroni. Tar, rubber and sugar on the nose. Then rubber, solvent and very mineral on the palate. Still a top rum.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5261 18.04.2025 Enjoying some samples at home while listening to some nice Trance Tracks. Nose Wood, light roasted, light tar, faint rubber, fruits, faint cherry, spice. Palate Wood, light roasted, fruits, light raisin, faint cherry, light tar, light rubber, spice. Finish Medium long, wood, light raisin, light tar, faint rubber, spice, faint smoke. Empty glass Light leather, wood, dried fruit, light tar and rubber. A rather light version of a Caroni.
Review by The Specialist
For my taste a nice Caroni to start with. You get a bit of tar and rubber on the nose. Flavor-wise mineral notes, some rubber and solvent. I find it very accessible especially for entry into the Caroni world.
Review by Johannes
Easy sipping Caroni! Nicely balanced, little dirty notes, is absolutely fun because to drink!
Review by DomM
Nice Caroni notes on the nose. Taste wise not very present, however. Feels a little bit watered down.
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 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 Benoit Mahe
A little too dark and bitter. Still a good Caroni.
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 Jakob
Classic profile for the 1998 Caroni vintage - the dirty HTR aromas are present, alcohol very well integrated. In addition, some wood and spices as well as earthy notes on the palate, which lead to a subjective deduction for me.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Caroni is a distillery from Trinidad, producing rum at the height of its fame, which was added in a ratio of 1:10 to naval blends. It was too strong and strange to be pleasant on the tongue. In 2000 the distillery ended 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 really a unique rum.
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
First nose, bottle recently opened, I find it has the bottle sickness (dusty)! Changed glass and oxidation, we find esters, alcohol and complexity on empyromatic notes! Mouth very eau de vie on quite dry alcohol. Warm finish on the smoky.
