Tastes

This version introduces us to Caroni in a new light. Although this rum’s characteristic petrol notes are clearly present here, they are much more subdued and evasive than usual. This provides us with an opportunity to savour the fruits, honeys and flowers packed into this juice and to comfortably admire the finesse of its woody aspect. Profile: exotic fruits (banana, mango). Phenolic (turpentine, camphor). Woody with bourbon vanilla pods, cocoa beans. Candied apricot and cherry eau-de-vie.

Second helpings of this rum are not required in order to guess that it’s a Caroni. The characteristic notes of hot tarmac are a give-away for this millennium small-batch rum produced in a distillery that closed down in 2002
