My first Caroni bottle, the second is just about to be split and emptied. The alcohol is very well integrated and the typical dirty Caroni aromas are very present. Ideal for (soon-to-be) poor Caroni disciples =D

On aeration, the rum is dirty, industrial with tar, the fruits citrus and berries, the molasses herbaceous, as new roasted wood notes, slightly smoky like coffee, confectionery, spicy with vanilla, arise. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is tasty, but a bit alcoholic, dry, slightly sweet with roasted wood notes like cream toffee, chocolate, then leather, peppery and smoky, industrial with rubber and tar, fruity with citrus, dried apricots and cherries, as the molasses is herbaceous. 8,5:The finish is long, dry&tannic, roasted wood notes with spice overpower others, the barrel impact is very strong, still we could notice rubber and tar, citrus and berries, herbaceous molasses, dark with black tea..
Auto-translatedVery smooth Caroni with rather subtle, dirty aromas. Unusually sweet for a Caroni, but still pleasant. Perfect, accessible Caroni entry.
Auto-translatedQuite dirty on the nose. Lacks complexity on the palate. Very dark notes forwards complimented with some dirt.
