RX2184 Very good Pot Still Rum Single Cask 255 bottles 250€+
“Bold Caroni with tar, rubber, and fruity notes.”

The Trinidad HTR from Caroni distillery is a 1997 vintage rum, aged for 18 years, and bottled by The Rum Cask with a bold ABV of 64.1%. This limited release of only 255 bottles offers an intense flavor experience with pronounced tar, rubber, woody, and fruity notes. Critics commend its complex bouquet of floral, tropical and smoky aromas, with balanced integration of alcohol. The palate mirrors the nose, featuring layers of tar, rubber, and fruit, with a long, smoky finish. Fans of Caroni cherish its harmonious blend of "fruity and dirty" notes, although some mention the high alcohol obscures nuanced flavors. Perfect for collectors seeking rare, robust Trinidadian expressions.

“Das ist eine sehr gute 1997er Caroni-Fassauswahl von the Rum Cask. In der Nase ein schönes Wechselspiel zwischen Werkstatt und Frucht. Am Gaumen mehr auf der Werkstatt und holzigen Seite.. passt aber noch sehr gut. Im nicht allzu langem Abgang wieder dieses schöne Wechselspiel von Frucht und Werkstatt. Echt lecker 😋”

“Nose is very nice and balanced. Adding more intense fruity notes to the 97 profile. This is a very nice nose out it the batch. Very nice on the palate as well. Well balanced between dirt, dried fruits and some sweetness. Top notch out of the 97 batch.”
