A rum from the German bottler Sansibar.
Cask #104, 53.3%, 1997
The smell is not dirty. I get oak, some heavy aromas like tannins, gum, some salty and oily aromas, some chocolate. I miss the fruits and the tar.
Bristol 1997 Caroni are much better. Maybe it's the dilution, but the heavy aromas of tar and leather are not present.
Not a typical start with some salty caramel (but it's not very sweet). Dark chocolate develops, the rum turns spicy, spices (cloves) with bitter tannins. Some gum with dark chocolate in the end. The finish is also spicy. Tannins with salty chocolate.
Aftertaste: dark chocolate, tannins, some gum/cloves
No 104 is not a good cask. There is some gum but overall not enough dirty aromas and it's not a complex Caroni (means there is a lack of aromas). The dark chocolate is nice but that's it.
Therefore 77 points.
Sweetness: 1/5
Fruits: 1/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 3/5
Complexity: 2.5/5
Value (300€): 1.5/5

Revisited on a Sunday 12 noon, just got the ribs on the smoker with fresh applewood notes in my system. I like this rum much better than my first visit. Maybe due to a year of trying more complex cast strength Foursquare and Holmes Cay, Rhumb Runner, raised my rating up one to an eight.
My first Caroni, the extinct distillery from Trinidad, one of the many many casks that have made it around the world. Medium dark, almost cask strength 51.9% oily if not slightly medicinal taste. I don’t know had more rums than the average man, possibly the emperors new clothes, the Coors beer in Florida in the 1970’s. The exotic, what you can’t get hype. I had a heralded BBQ sauce once tasted like burnt rubber and cigarette butts but not many would admit it, but I am. Maybe just not my thing.
I have a second bottle to try this one a Velier will try another time. But don’t think I will buy again.
