Caroni S.B.S Trinidad „The Beast“ #2 1993
Caroni obsessives are the audience here — this 1993, 28-year Trinidad column-still bottling drinks like the distillery's signature in full force. Expect glue, varnish, rubber and leather on the nose, then earthy tobacco, menthol and a firmly bitter, oaky palate. Several tasters call it "rounder" than the first Beast, with a bit more fruit peeking through, but it's still a demanding, tarry dram.
The community says- Classic Caroni funk
- Complex, rubbery nose
- But: Bitter palate

How does Caroni S.B.S Trinidad „The Beast“ #2 1993 taste?
Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Intense, tarry Caroni for serious fans Members mostly land around 8/10 and love the intense Caroni funk, though a few find the bitter, "wood juice" palate borderline unpleasant. Rewarding but not an everyday pour.

Compared to the previous "Beast" this one is slightly better, but only by margins. I got a good price on this bottle and that convinced me to get it. The nose is woody and smoky with leather, varnish and solvents in almost perfect harmony. The palate is intense, complex and medium bitter with roasted oak, leather varnish and a hint of tobacco and coffee. The finish is long and bitter with roasted oak. Price to quality can be argued, but it is a palate teaser.

Fun thing. I did not have the first Beast. I found the nose extremely cool. It reminds me of plastic toys from the nursery. I also found a lot of Caroni notes. Then in the mouth it's joined by some neat smoke and varnish. And in the finish first, a surprising amount of fruit components. The finish is long. But with time remains the taste of an ashtray filled with menthol cigarettes.
Review by DomM
Just like the first version, this is truly a beast. However, the second version feels (from memory) rounder and more delicate. There are hints of fruits alongside Caroni notes (which however are pretty much overwhelmed by leather and wood)
Review by Mike H.
74 points. Decent nose, wood juice on the palate, slightly unpleasant.
Review by Ondra RumRunner
Caroni z produkce 1423 World Class Spirits nabízí komplexní profil s výraznou intenzitou typickou pro rumy z Trinidadu. Na nosu jsou patrné tóny lepidla, zemité akcenty, lak, guma, dřevo a kůže, které dohromady vytvářejí robustní a jedinečnou vůni. Chuť je neméně výrazná, kombinující zemitost s nádechem tabáku, mentolu a hořkosti, doplněnou minerálními a koženými podtóny. Přítomné jsou i tóny gumy a sudu, což dodává hloubku a komplexnost, která zanechává silný dojem. English: Caroni by 1423 World Class Spirits showcases a complex profile with the characteristic intensity of rums from Trinidad. The nose reveals notes of glue, earthy tones, varnish, rubber, wood, and leather, creating a robust and unique aroma. The palate is equally pronounced, blending earthiness with hints of tobacco, menthol, and bitterness, complemented by mineral and leathery undertones. There are also traces of rubber and barrel notes, adding depth and complexity that leaves a strong impression. Deutsch: Caroni von 1423 World Class Spirits bietet ein komplexes Profil mit der charakteristischen Intensität von Rums aus Trinidad. In der Nase zeigen sich Noten von Klebstoff, erdige Töne, Lack, Gummi, Holz und Leder, was ein robustes und einzigartiges Aroma ergibt. Der Geschmack ist ebenso ausgeprägt und vereint Erdigkeit mit Anklängen von Tabak, Menthol und Bitterkeit, ergänzt durch mineralische und lederne Untertöne. Es sind auch Spuren von Gummi und Fassnoten zu erkennen, die dem Rum Tiefe und Komplexität verleihen und einen starken Eindruck hinterlassen.
Review by Mirco
Extreme Holz, Bitter und Gewürznoten. Macht zwischendurch spass, ist aber nichts für jeden Tag. Dafür muss man echt bereit sein. Verglichen mit dem #1 Beast, bringt diese Abfüllung mehr Frucht mit und wirkt „runder“.
Review by Nika
Interesting one. I will remember this rum mainly because of the sourness and tech taste combo.

Review by Pavel Spacek
... Caroni is a distillery from Trinidad, producing at the time of its greatest glory rum, which was added at a ratio of 1:10 to the naval blend. It was too strong and strange to be pleasant on the tongue. In 2000, the distillery ceased production and closed. Only in 2010 did tasters appear who took a liking to the rum because of its special taste. And the interest grew. Caroni belongs to the category of "you need to try before you die" rums. I recommend it, Caroni is a truly unique rum.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Ročník 1993. Hodnotím 7,9 z 10, solidní rum, který nezklame.
Review by 86kringo
Das ist nun wirklich ein beast ... in der Nase schreit es nach caroni und scheint wirklich komplex zu sein, im Mund dagegen ein portpourti aus süßem verbrannten Lack mit bitterem Abgang. Nichts für schwache Nerven, aber auch nichts von dem ich eine Flasche brauchen würde.
