Just tried it against the Bedford, which is way better. This one is flat, not typical Caroni at all.

8.7/10

Tasting with Mr. Daniel Jungberg on 18.07.2026 RX5725 Caroni Rum Artesanal Nose: Pleasant nose with light tar and smoke, slightly sweet scent of overripe stone fruit mostly mirabelle, burnt caramel. Palate: Light bitter sweet fruit. Tar and smoke, dried fruit like prune, diesel and rubber. The finish is overwhelming with tar and rubber, slightly bitter black tea and coffee. After some time in the glass there is more fruit sweetness. Reasonable balance, few sharp facets. I have rated it a bit lower before, but a good large glass makes the difference. The glass: Light tar and diesel, tobacco and oak barrel. Tasting “Home sweet home”

No closed distillery is chased harder than Caroni. The Trinidad distillery shut down around 2002 and not a drop has been made since, but its heavy, oily, almost diesel-like rum became a collector obsession, carried to the world by Velier. Every bottle now comes from a finite, shrinking stock, which is exactly why the prices keep climbing.
