RX1198 Good <250€
“Light, approachable Caroni with a historical touch.”

Felicite Gold Trinidad Rum is a unique Caroni expression selected by Bristol Classic Rum, distilled at Trinidad's Caroni distillery from molasses and matured for 14 years. With a light-bodied character and a 40% ABV, it subtly introduces vanilla, tar, and licorice notes. While some users find it lacking the signature "dirty" Caroni punch, others appreciate its historical authenticity as a lighter, more approachable interpretation. It embodies a harmonious blend of light and tropical notes with a subdued finish, an intriguing option for those exploring diverse rum profiles. Though opinions vary, this rum offers a distinctive nod to its origins, appealing to both avid collectors and novices seeking a gentle Caroni experience.

“Un Caroni historique conservé à la distillerie dans des cuves inox et dilué à l’alcool neutre (de chez Caroni). C’est exactement à ça que pouvait ressembler le Caroni d’avant Luca. Le “Caroni FELICITE” était un embouteillage officiel de Caroni. Le nez est léger avec des fruits tropicaux, du beurre et de l’atelier mécanique. L’attaque en bouche est légère, puis les arômes montent en puissance, mais rien de spectaculaire. La finale est trop courte, hélas. Le verre vide est beau avec un bel atelier mécanique. Un Caroni décevant pour l’amateur mais très buvable et parfait pour ajouter à ma crème glacée. Nettement en dessous du Bristol VSOC 2003.”
