Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose is deep and intense. You’re immediately greeted by aromas of burnt wood, oil, rubber, and dark caramel. This is followed by layers of dried fruits, leather, clove, and a subtle hint of varnish.
Palate
Full and powerful on the palate. Heavy notes of dark molasses and black coffee merge with bitter chocolate, tobacco leaves, and a touch of medicinal spice. Everything is beautifully balanced, with a rich, oily texture that coats the mouth.
Finish
Long and layered. The finish lingers with flavors of smoky wood, pepper, licorice, and tar. A hint of orange peel adds just the right touch of freshness, keeping the rum elegant to the very last drop.
About the distillery
Caroni was founded in 1918 in Trinidad and gained fame for its heavily profiled rums, often described as ‘heavy’ and ‘oily’. The distillery closed its doors permanently in 2002, but the remaining casks have since become iconic. This bottling by Tasting Gang is a tribute to that unique legacy and a rare opportunity to taste a piece of rum history.
