Rum Nation 1998 Caroni 16-Year

Caroni at 55%, Perhaps a bit sweetened, lacks some heavy-fuel edge. But still, a true caroni taste, an affordable price, in a nice package.

God rom, mangler lidt kant. God eftermsag af egetræ.

The nose is a mixture of sweet, fresh tropical fruits, oak and smokey, tarlike notes. I like it alot. The palette offers a bit of heat but is sweeter then most caroni's. My tounge pick up notes of light, but distinct oak, smoke, molasse and perhaps banana. I dont find it to be heavy bodied, compared to other caronis and it could perhaps be considered as a good starter into the wonderfull world of caroni, at an affordable price.

En rom jeg havde forventet mig mere af.
Den har en mærkelig eftersmag, det minder lidt om harpiks.
Absolut ikke en rom jeg vil købe.

This is a good way to find out, if you are into the much hyped Caroni rums. It does have a little of the gasoline notes, but is a lot easier to drink than some of the stronger Caroni. And it won't bust your wallet either.

God duft.
Kraftig, medium sprittet.
God eftersmag.

Bois, café, liqueur avec au finale une très longueen et grande intensité

Robusto, fa sentire subito i suoi 55 gradi. Il sapore che lascia dopo però è spettacolare. Ottimo rum da parte della "nuova" casa Rum Nation.

At 03.00 o clock ( Tree Rum) with my friend Helmut during waiting for his Taxi, not so bad!

It was for me the first rum from Caroni distillery and conditioned by Rum Nation in Italy. On the nose, typical notes of gasoline, oak, tropicals fruits, coffee and licorice . Very long finish on the palate with notes of oak and the smoked side is still very present . Great introduction into the world of caroni .
