Velká paráda na nose i v chuti. Je tam toho hodně, je to vrstevnaté a s každým douškem objevujete nové chutě.

Caroni, Jamaican, Guyana all in perfect balance. Super expressive.
Další ze vzorků z československé komunity Rum Friendly Club a to přímo od kamaráda nejbližšího v této komunitě.
Ve vůni cítím příjemnou techniku, kterou cítím rovněž v chuti. Při slepé degustaci bych si tipnul Caroni, nebo aspoň Trinidad, případně nějakou technickou Guyanu.
Rum mi samotný chutná, škoda, že láhve mizí mezi lidmi a nové nikdo produkovat nejspíš nebude.
Al naso prevale il caroni e gli esteri/agrumi del giamaicano, al palato le note del caroni sono più intense, poi quelle funky e sul finale il demerara timidamente ammorbidisce il tutto.
Nel bicchiere vuoto profumo di legno.
Un blend davvero piacevole e affascinante, grande Ruruki
Not sure I was ready for this. Amber gold color, easy nose and powerful first sip. There’s no middle ground here just kicks you in the ass full throttle. This is the real deal, reminiscent of old original Pusser's British Navy rum with a bit more power. You would have been lucky to have been in the Royal Navy if this was your daily tot. The old, 20 year Caroni hits me first softened by the Guyana Demura rum followed with a mellow Jamaican funk. I think I really like this rum.
Nose: 8/10
Taste: 10/10
Finish: 9/10
The blend is well integrated - Very pleasant experience!

Tento rum som si skutočne užil. Výborné pitie , jemné, znaky citrusov a zároveň mierna olejnatost. Nádherná prirodzená sladkosť. Menšia zložka Caroni ho oživila. Odporúčam všetkým fanúšikom Navy rumov
On the nose: tropical fruits (baked ripe bananas, overripe pineapple), sweetness, brown sugar, subtle spices, a little gummy, full of flavor; with water: caramel and fruits.
On the palate: spices, molasses, gum, oil & tar; with water: gum, spices, oak, subtle bitterness (dark chocolate), tropical fruits, dry.
In the finish: rubber, oil & tar, dirty, very long, tingling, dirty covering.
In der Nase: tropische Früchte (gebackene reife Bananen, überreife Ananas), Süße, brauner Zucker, dezent Gewürze, etwas Gummi, voll aromatisch; mit Wasser: Karamell und Früchte.
Am Gaumen: Gewürze, Melasse, Gummi, Öl & Teer; mit Wasser: Gummi, Gewürze, Eiche, dezente Bitterkeit (dunkle Schokolade), tropische Früchte, trocken.
Im Abgang: Gummi, Öl & Teer, dreckig, sehr lang, prickelnd, dreckig belegend.
It’s very oaky and maybe a touch to woody.
"A really nice vanilla and oak with some really nicely balanced spice."

NR: Beautiful nose, but with too much bitter wood in the taste
8
/10
out of 10
Update review (bottle transformed after a week):
I was looking forward to taste this navy rum.
I know at least ten other navy rums, but none with Caroni in the blend.
After 1h in the glas the nose is dominated by Jamaica (WP) flavors with Caroni notes and dry fruits. The Caroni flavors reminds me of Bristol Caroni 10y VSOC (it's not that dirty because it has a sherry finish). I get the WP notes first (orange, apple), after that I get demerara notes like honey with molasses and on top of it is some Caroni (leather, some tar, black currant). Great nose indeed, everything is there.
In the initial taste I get Caroni aromas first, they are very dominant (leather, tar). Then slightly WP fruity notes and some Demerara honey with molasses. After that you get immediately the bitter wood on your palet. I think the Caroni cask was very active.
In the middle I get some orange zest, leather, tar and aok (the bitterness from the tannins is still there, thats why I can't get more aromas). If you want a better representation of such a blend try the Le Gust Demerara 2002.
The finish start spicy and you get a strong medical note (like Trinidad rum), followed by dry orange peels, wood and again Caroni aromas.
Conclusion: the nose is very good. The initial taste is dominated by tannins from the wood.
This disturbs the balance and does not allow the aromas to be enjoyed. Caroni is very dominant in this blend.
88 points are appropriate.
Nose: (orange, prune, apple -> WP), (honey, molasses -> Demerara), (leather, tar, black currant -> Caroni), oak
Taste: WP (orange, apple), honey, molasses, wood with tannins,
Middle: orange peels, dry mouth feel, leather tar, tannins
Finish: spice, medicine, orange peels, wood, some tar, leather
Aftertaste: WP fruits, mint, leather (tasty), black currant/tar
My first, old review (fresh opened bottle):
The initial taste is dirty like a typical Caroni. Leather, gum, salt and bitter wood are waiting for you. I expect fruits in the middle, but nothing there. The Caroni cask is way too dominant with a lot of tanins. The finish is spicy, dry and dirty. Also no fruits there. It's like a typical 1998 Caroni without fruit flavors. This Caroni cask was too old, it overlaps all other aromas. This rum is still not bad, you get a good Caroni here. But I expected this blend to be more fruity. I think there is still some space for improvement.
Therefore a 9 rating.
Nose: leather, gum, tar, honey, papaya, some apple and banana (Jamaica is a little bit weak), wood, cask with earth
Taste: orange, gum, leather, fruits, wood with tanins, vanilla ice

Finish: Caroni flavors, leather, wood, tanins, oranges astringend mouth feel, anise

Value (130€): 3.5/5
thefatrumpirate:
Nose: "Nosing the rum initially reveals the distinctive Caroni elements. Petrol and tar. It reminds me very much of a 1960’s sample of Navy rum I reviewed a while back. Further nosing reveals more of the Demerara rum – a sweetness of raisins and plums. The Jamaican influence comes in with some nice banana and coconut notes."
Taste: "I think the Caroni rum and the oak leave the Demerara and Jamaican elements behind. I’m not getting a lot of either to be honest. What I am getting is the more traditional slightly “dirty” petrol like elements of the Caroni.
I totaly agree with the review from thefatrumpirate, he has also a good suggestion:
"Although I found this perfectly drinkable at the full ABV – its actually quite mellow overall I did decide to add some water. Just a few drops.
To say this was a good move would be an understatement. I’ve very rarely noticed such a difference in a rum. The Jamaican rum is now competing with the Trinidad Caroni at the forefront of the mix with some very nice “funky” elements – black banana and ginger. The Demerara now reveals itself with some nice notes of anise and stoned fruits. Finish wise it doesn’t get any longer or more exciting but sip wise its a much better option with the ABV knocked down a little."
