Bristol Caroni Haromex 1998 21yr 58,7%
The Haromex from Trinidad's Caroni distillery, bottled by Bristol Classic Rum, stands as a 1998 vintage, 21-year-old molasses-based rum with a robust 58.7% ABV. This release is notably scarce, with only 246 bottles available. Users describe it as a classic Caroni experience, featuring strong notes of tar, cherry, and medicinal aromas, accented by brown sugar and oak. On the palate, it harmonizes barrel and roasted almond flavors with tobacco, tar, and dark chocolate undertones. While some find it less intense than other Caronis, its complex profile is praised for balancing sweetness, fruitiness, and signature Caroni "dirty" notes. The alcohol is generally well-integrated, though some detect a fiery presence on the tongue.

“Decent Caroni notes but (out of the 1998s) lacks some of the excitement and punch the destillery is associated with.”

“A typical Caroni with not quite so pronounced aromas! The alcohol is very well integrated! Overall a Caroni of the gentler kind, which also allows larger sips, great”
