The Auld Alliance - Corman Collins Caroni 1998
Highly praised Caroni that blends dirty industrial notes with fruit and vanilla, offering elegance, depth and a long, dry finish – slightly tamer and less complex than top Caroni benchmarks.
Fans of classic Caroni wanting a slightly more approachable, fruity take but still with heavy tar, leather and workshop notes at serious cask strength.

Pas mal du tout , superbe surprise. C’est très bon, avec les marqueurs classiques de cette distillerie 🤩😍
Typical Caroni profile is perfectly mixed up with round notes like vanilla or banana leading to a nice balance ! Alcohol is perfectly integrated on both nose and palate. Super elegant profile despite the sharp notes of leather and wood. Definitely a great rum 😋
Don’t be afraid of “bicycle tube” “solvent”... this is a really elegant rum, upsetting tastes but everything at its place,
