Review by Matej
My first Caroni. I expected heavier rum but this one was really gently. Love the chocolate, love the wood and the flavor of the fruit was excatly as should be (just enough). I was one of the lucky ones, who had opportunity to taste it, if the bottle had a better price ot will be a 10 for me.

Very nice light rum by Caroni. Balanced full Flavie with lot of Dark chocolate & burned caramel. Burnt tires and spent kerosene only faintly in the background. Those who love heavy garage Caroni should choose another bottle, those who love good Overproof rum or looking for a way to heavy Caroni, will enjoy it.
Review by Filip Šikula
Ve vůni očekávám sladký profil caroni. Cítím čokoládu, koření, karamel, skořici ( skořici u caroni snad poprvé). V chuti nemám pocit, že piju HTR, ale piju rozhodně dobré caroni s velmi specifickým profilem, které toho má hodně co nabídnout. Vzhledem ke stáří mě udivuje, jak málo dřeva citím, což přidává příjemným svěžím chutím. Závěr středně dlouhý až dlouhý a krásně hladí.

Definitely a very, very tasty Trinidad Overproof but caroni?! I feel here only to 5-10% maximum. But outstanding that the part has really 30 years on the hump and still tastes so little woody! Really tasty!
Review by Jakob
This Caroni is probably a bottling with a very high Light/LTR content. The typical dirty notes are missing almost completely and the remaining profile remains very flat. Has strong Spanish echoes, but there is then eg from Belize in more exciting form.
Review by Oliver
Average Providence rum. Has little to do with "classic" Caroni.
Review by Johannes
This rum has absolutely nothing to do with Caroni. Blind I would have typed him on a Foursquare. What it has to do with it, I would be interested...
Review by Rado Vito
Nose is quite nice, you can catch hints of fruits and vanilla, but main smell is wood. You can find yourself in the woodworking workshop after smelling this rum. It brings me so many memories. Now, let´s taste it. On the palate it is sweet and strong. I can distinguish chocolate, salt and caramel. Aftertaste is creamy and woody. It nicely warm you from inside and this "fire" remains for longer time, unfortunately the aftertaste doesn´t. I have to ask a question - where are those 30 years of aging? I can´t find them in this rum.
