If you are drinking this rum, you qualify as a candidate for most interesting person your friends and colleagues know. Truly one of the greatest spirits experiences you'll ever have.

Das hier ist schon ein verdammt guter Caroni,herrlich ausgeprägte Caroni typische Aromen und doch einigermassen zahm,schöner langer Abgang,etwas Honig,dezente Süsse.
Ein Must Have.
Mit rund 100 Müllos geschenkt in Anbetracht der momentanen Preisentwicklung.
Der 21er ist zwar noch einen guten Tick besser aber nicht mehr als doppelt so gut wie der Preis des 21er mit etwa 220 Bankrottos in der Ausgabe aktuell
Kaufen Kaufen und Bunkern was das Zeug hält,Das wird ein Stück Rumgeschichte Die es so nie wieder geben wird

Liegt für mich zwischen 23yo und 21yo. Nicht so ganz meine Aromen, ansonsten sehr voll und sehr gut.

Bleibt lange im Mund und schmeckt nach Honig. Langer Abgang.

.... while the 12 year old is "just" a taste of heaven - this is heaven. Just perfectly rounded. I love it

The bigger brother of 15. More depth, finish is Long.

Fantastic! incredibly flavorful with a great punch! pure rum and just perfect.

This molasse distilled rum has a good body. Nosing offers a wide aroma range of wood, burned tyres, tar together with a distinct presence of alcohol. However, this is checked by a higher degree of sweetness and fruitiness (orange) compared with the 12 or 15 year Caronis. The palate continues these note the nosing has already revealed. Finish is nice and extended and did stay for some minutes. Overall a nice heavy rum.

I tried this rum yesterday evening and it literally blew me away. I'm usually a whisky-drinker but this rum comes really close to the better whisky's. But you really need to take your time to enjoy this craftsmenship. With a drop of water it was even better for me :-). very complex and many different layers with vanilla & some gasoline / rubber. But very balenced and so enjoyable.
