Láhev za 330 euro bych fakt nepořídil.

1998-2013
The nose is on the leather side. I get leather, gum, some caramel notes but also some notes of oak and vanilla. In the end I get some grasy notes.
Not a complex nose and not a 1996 of course. It's a nice one but not exceptional.

The taste starts with gum and leather. It became spicy. I get now some caramel and vanilla notes with oak.
The middle is more dirty, gum, leather, some tar and tannins. It gets bitter now.
The finish is spicy with medical notes, some gum, leather and tannins.
It's not a very complex Caroni and not exceptional one but it's good.
I would rate it with 85 points.

Zatím neotevren. Je ve sbírce rumu Caroni na policce.

The strong petroleum of caroni is well recognised in this expression.

Fort, beaucoup d’Esther. Une grande complexité comme pour tous les caroni

This rum offers a strong nose and palate with notes of smoke, burned tyres, rasins. Add some saltiness. Overall it offers this special Caroni-taste which you may like or dislike. Specific about this rum is in my view that the level of burn and saltiness is more dominant compared to the 17 or 21 year Caronis. The finish is quite extended which is nice.

Original taste of rum. Strong kick and nice taste of smoked sherry barrel. Light body. Perfect company for a cigar. Small leg. Bitter but original taste

Rich, with such complex taste (citrus, fruits, oily in the background, some oak in the end). What a Caroni! It isn't as heavy in oil as the 12yo, but otherwise deliver more in everything. What a beauty!

This stuff will blow up your mouth, stand by for your tastebuds to go on overload. it was actually decent after the burn wore down, i am also looking forward to re-growing my stache. Anyhow of all the rums i have tasted this stuff is unique and what i call a Man's rum. Give it a taste for yourself..
