You want what you canât get! Thereâs nothing special here old rum that was not that good to start with. Hate me if you want I bought the cool aide purchased at auction. Glad I tried it have it on the shelf, but never do I think â wow a pop of that would be greatâ oil, ground car tire and cigarette butt. Sounds more like a 4 but itâs rare and I paid a lot for it. Maybe itâs an acquired taste will revisit someday, not too soon.
I must correct my rating. After one month in the bottle (I poor 5cl) the rum has changed.
It's not as bitter as before. The watery impression is almost gone.
It's the same like with the 1994 Caroni 23y. It needs some evoparation.
Typical 1998 dirty nose on the wild leather side. First I get leather, then gum and some tar in the nose, it's dirty and salty. Some medicine is there, with wet barrel and earth, in the background are some dry fruits. A typical and good 1998 nose.
The dilution to 51.4% works not that bad as on my first tasting.
I think 55-57% would be better, but I enjoyed this rum also.
The taste starts sweet with honey, leather and tar. The tannins are rising on my palet. Then there are gum and dry fruits at the end of the initial taste.
In the middle taste I get the leather and again the tannins, wood (my mouth gets dry), then dry fruits and some black currant. It feels like I was licking some old wood.
The finish is middle long, a little bit spicy with leather, black currant, wood, tannins and liquorice.
The aftertaste starts with peppermint, black currant, then cold black tea... and after some time smoked bacon. That's a very tasty combination for me.
The mint spreaded everywhere in my mouth, I have all the time mint and black currant on my palet. This lasts very long, I love it.
It's not complex but dirty Caroni. I would rate this rum with 88 points now.

DÄ har jag gÄtt och sneglat pÄ denna flaska nÄgra dar dÄ den dök upp i början av veckan och jag stÀllde in den i romhyllan.
Caroni pratar ju mÄnga av er som kan det hÀr med rom om! SjÀlv har jag aldrig provat förut.
HĂ€llde upp ett glas och tĂ€nkte att en sĂ„n hĂ€r Rom pĂ„ 90 proof (51,4%) behöver nog luftas en stundâŠ..men det Ă€r ju rĂ€tt svĂ„rt att vĂ€nta iblandđ Började iallafall med att dofta litegrann.
Doftar mycket rundare och sötare Àn jag förvÀntat mig av en sÄdan hÀr rom. NÀr man fÄr ner nÀsan djupare i glaset kÀnner jag skumbanan och gummidÀck! Har tidigare tyckt att detta med gummi kÀnns konstigt och jag har ofta tÀnkt mer Ät aceton hÄllet men efter lite diskussioner under provningar sÄ Àr det nog mer av gummidÀck jag kÀnner pÄ denna typen av doft. Man lÀr sig efter hand!
Nu har den fÄtt stÄ till sig en halvtimme och nu blir det till att smaka.
Detta Àr en spÀnnande smak! Ganska torr i smaken ingen större sötma. En explosion av olika smaker som kommer efter hand. Kraftig spritighet som ligger kvar lÀnge! KÀnns som en komplex smakbild som jag kan förstÄ om man behöver en del erfarenhet för att uppskatta nyanserna av. GummidÀck tonerna kommer tillbaka i eftersmaken ocksÄ.
Tror inte detta Ă€r en nybörjar Rom utan hĂ€r behöver man nog ha âtrĂ€natâ lite innan man ger sig pĂ„!
Gillar jag den dÄ! JodÄ! En spÀnnande smakbild som jag kan uppskatta vid vissa tillfÀllen. NÄt jag kommer dricka varje fredag? Nej inte alls. Dock kommer jag sticka emellan ibland med den, speciellt nÀr man sitter nÄgra goda vÀnner och provar lite olika sorter.
Ăr den vĂ€rd pengarna?
Tja, vissa sorter Àr av en sÄdan karaktÀr att man behöver ha en i skÄpet/hyllan. Dels som referens eller som exempel pÄ en viss stil. Dit hör tveklöst denna!
A very cool bottling of rum from the closed Caroni distillery in Trinidad, celebrating the 100th anniversary of its opening back in 1918. The aged rum has been bottled at 90° proof (51,4%) as a team effort by Velier and La Maison du Whisky, and features a retro design harking back to Caroni bottles from the days of yore. Aroma is gentle with sweet tones. First taste is warm and sweet but very fast turning in to burning leather, old wet wood and musty taste. Long aftertaste with oil and petrol (similar to Dior Fahrenheit parfum). Interesting sample which expanded my rum experience, but nothing to order whole bottle...
Good rhum đ *****Ń ĐŸŃĐŸŃĐžĐč ŃĐŸĐŒ ĐżĐŸ Ń ĐŸŃĐŸŃĐ”Đč ŃĐ”ĐœĐ” *****
Aroma: green pineapple leaves, pineapple juice, aloe vera, cane sugar, sweet old oak cask.
Taste: a bit caramel than a lot of green complex vegetal character - agave, aloe vera, pineapple leaves, green banana, a bit of coconut.
Finish: long, vegetal, oaky, and a bit sweet.
It's very good but not for everyone

I'm giving this a 7 because I truly know my taste and this was very far from mine. Too rough, but not for the abv, too much wood, I left It in the glass for a very long time, and It was still too stingy, almost like a scotch, so really not my type. I was really bummed because I was looking forward to drink this for a very long time and when I had the chance I got burned in multiple ways. I know the history about this distillery and the hype around this rum that we will never have the chance to drink again, but about this one I am not feeling sorry. Not always rare means good.
