Caroni 1996 High Proof Heavy 17-Year

I really wanted to not like this, and be all righteous about ‘super-premium’ rums, and how ridiculous it is paying that sort of price for booze, but Jesus H. Christ this was amazing.

he is very well balanced and has a very nice sweetness.
he could still have a little more than his 55%, but even so he is very pleasant.
a caroni where you float in other spheres.

today very hard to find and if you find it, very expensive
