Not a classic beauty but with her own charm. No short dance-off in the disco followed by a quick number. Here you have to go out for dinner and a movie first😜 2-3 drops of water, if you like, help to round it off. Needs air and time. I let it breathe for over an hour. Certainly not for the daily sipper. Dark and heavy, it fits me extremely well.

Unfortunately, another whisky finish that drowns it out

#6841 24.05.2026 Running a few evening samples while listening to some Psy Trance on Spotify. A pretty decent Caroni with an OK price tag. Thanks for the sample xxx :-) A fruity rum with spices, leather, smoke, wood, nutts and some chocolate.

8.5/10

A sample collected at the Lucerne Rum Festival. A nose of yellow fruit, machine shop and bitter orange with a slight machine shop feel. The entry is very fruity, yellow fruit (pear) and exotic fruit in equal measure, then aromas of Caronis arrive. It's good, but for a Caroni I can regret a lack of aromatic complexity. The finish is rather short, austere, marked by wood and seems a little diluted. The empty glass is marked by wood, machine shop notes and a little acetone. Not much is missing to be a great Caroni, the fruitiness is undoubtedly there, but it remains a little unbalanced and lacks complexity. Perhaps the cask was not of the best quality?

Caroni 1998 Crosstasting: Nice profile with present HTR notes, caramel sweetness, wood and dark spices. Well balanced, accessible, great Caroni.

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.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`.
