My nose says that this definitely has to be a Caroni, but which one 
Regarding the price tags my guess is RX60 or RX150…but it could also be RX180.
Just tasted a little bit the rum while I am with some friends.
Definitely something Caroni-esque with the mint and the tar. I find it very smooth and enjoyable in the mouth. It could be one the 30th series for a light degree.
The nose is quite dirty indeed but with medium intensity and a slight menthol note in the back. Doesn’t necessarily scream Caroni but can’t be excluded either.
The taste dials back the dirt a bit and ups the minty/mentholy side. Alcohol is well integrated.
The colour is quite dark, though.
Ten Cane (2008) or early 2000 TDL maybe?!
Le nez est de type Caroni mais avec beaucoup de fruits, un petit côté beurré et d’amandes amères.
La bouche est très cohérente ce qui peut faire penser à un single cask ou une série de family casks.
Fruits tropicaux et fruits jaunes, poire et abricot.
La finale est superbe et riche, hyper longue.
Très beau rhum !
L’équilibre entre les fruits et les notes d’ateliers mécanique en second plan fait penser à un millésime 1996 ou décembre 1998.
Mais Olivier et ses amis ont sûrement trouvé quelque chose de plus original. Un Demeroni ? Peux-être, mais pas le Gran Torino, un Le Gus’t ? Non, pas tout à fait. L’impression de l’avoir déjà goûté me taraude.
The set has only one rum from Trinidad and it is confirmed there is one tropical aged Caroni there, so cannot be the other distilleries from the island.
However, a Demeroni could be possible indeed since we got tricked in the past with Gust and Torino too.
Well, after reading the announcement again, there’s only one rum from Trinidad and there’s a tropically aged Caroni. So this must be it, then (unless we’re in Guyana which I doubt, unless it’s one of the aforementioned Demeronis).
Slippery has been quite minty imho, even though few reviews mention this. But is was heavier on the industrial notes. Hmmm…
kleiner Tipp, das heutige Sample würde ich nicht so gierig verschlingen, ich nippe ehrfürchtig 
Ha, didn’t see your post after I finished typing mine (which gets constantly interrupted by a certain someone who doesn’t want to sleep) … good thinking!
I’m kind of hoping for a Demeroni, because a) that leaves the Caroni yet to come and b) it would be a tiny bit of a let down (not the biggest fan of menthol in my rum).
RumX tasting on the road, can’t let a business trip interrupt the rarities tasting! 
First thoughts: Would guess a TDL, clearly minty with some slight dirtiness. Ripe tropical aging, molasses sweetness, demerara sugar. Not really a Caroni for me…
Edit: of course ignoring the hints from the initial announcement
No worries I understand 
I kinda agree with you since I love those Demeroni profiles and I want to be surprised, but this one has some strong aromas that makes me say that it is the Caroni too ahah
na toll… no pressure und so 
nächstes mal schreib das früher, ich hab schon wieder ausgetrunken 
oder ich brauch das nächste mal ein 5cl set
könnte teuer werden 
what’s your guess? my expirience with tropically aged Caroni is very limited (two, maybe three)
Wow, also doch Caroni
Für mich unerwartetes Profil, aber danke für die Teilung 
Edit: vielleicht so anders weil es 1992 anstatt 1996 wie viele andere ist?
Überkrass hatte ich nicht mit gerechnet
Wow that’s insane holy cow !!!
Puh, da bin ich erleichtert. Minty auf Platz 3 im Taste und Menthol auf Platz 2 im Finish.
Wäre daher jetzt nicht mein Favorit unter den Caronis, aber das ist in Anbetracht des Preises und der Auswahl an Alternativen auch gar nicht schlimm
Mega, dass wir ihn probieren durften
