Cadenhead‘s Caroni TMCG (Whisky-e) HTR 1998
Anyone already deep into Caroni will know this language: rubber, tar, iodine, a "mechanical workshop" dirtiness, then chocolate, cinnamon and ripe fruit underneath. At 62.5% and 20 years, the alcohol sits well integrated. One taster noted surprisingly little wood for its age, which keeps the dirty distillery notes front and center. Long, spicy, medicinal finish.
The community says- Classic Caroni profile
- Dirty rubber and tar

Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Dirty, tarry Caroni at cask strength A classic, well-balanced Caroni that most tasters rate highly. A few felt it lacked the depth of the distillery's very best, but the dirty, smoky character is all there.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Despite the age this rum has very little wood to it, not a bad thing perse because all the dirty Caroni notes are there. The nose is fruity with spices and all the lovely Caroni flavours; rubber and tar. In the back i also get medicinal notes and caramel. The palate takes off where the nose left off. Spicy with fruit, spices and then rubber and tar. After resting there is even more flavours, chocolate, light earthy and medicinal notes. The finish is long with tropical fruits, spices, tobacco and light menthol notes. A lovely Caroni with a twist.
Review by Hendrik Müller
A great Caroni, spicy, nutty, roasted aromas, slightly sweet on the finish, I really like it. The price-performance ratio is also top, with a good network you can get it for under 300, which is perfectly fine for the quality, at least for me.

Very round and balanced Caroni with a very classic profile. Caramelized banana, milk chocolate, cinnamon, dirty smoky notes, burnt rubber, some menthol and vanilla. Very well integrated alcohol! Surprisingly delicious!
Review by Martin Ekrt
Ve vůni hezký mix technických tónů, hlavně guma a nemocnice, v kombinaci s lehkou vůni vanilky, pepře, skořice a ovoce. Chuťově je hlavně cítit koření, pepř a ovoce, ale pak následuje velmi povedený technicko pepřový závěr.
