Excellent Caroni nose. Rubber, some tropical fruit and great cocoa notes. On the palate it continues first class and intense with a very pleasant sweetness. Only the relatively short finish then denies a top rating. The bottom line is nevertheless a first-class Caroni of the legendary 1996 vintage at a pleasant drinking strength.

Amazing 1996 ! Dilution makes it really accessible and profile is sweet as hell with loads of banana, chocolate, molasses or cofee. A perfect one for beginners 😍

Another great Caroni though not on the gmheavy and of the sce, more like a medium heavy version. The Caroni flavours are there and very present so you're never in doubt of who made it. The nose is well balanced and a medium heavy Caroni. Tar, rubber and roasted oak hit you first closely followed by lots of fruit and some cinnamon. The palate takes off where the nose left off. Smoky oak with tar and rubber, dried fruit and spices. I like that there is a spicy tinge to the palate. The finish is long with oak, spices, rubber and a hint of raisin.

Wahnsinn wie viel Geschmack und Kraft nach der Verdünnung noch da ist. Ich versuche das „Glas“ halbvoll anzuschauen🫤 Im Mund ist er halt zu schnell weg. Der Gaumen ist heftig geil. Teer, Gummi, wie es sein muss. Der Abgang ist lange und lecker. Es kommen Früchte und Gewürze dazu. Der Rum ist Hammer. Dennoch wäre Potenzial für was ganz Grosses da gewesen. Schade darum. Davon abgesehn ist es ein toller Rum. Ich werde heute Nacht davon träumen wie der mit einigen Prozent mehr gewesen wäre.

Schöne 96er Caroni-Noten erkennbar, aber leider zu sehr verdünnt!

Puh, wie auch beim Diamond aus der Single Cask-Serie stellt sich die Frage: Warum nur musste man hier verdünnen? Die Nase hat noch sehr viel Charme, das Potenzial ist klar erkennbar. Am Gaumen wirkt die Verwässerung dann aber sehr unvorteilhaft, die Aromen vermischen sich und der verbleibende Eindruck ist eher breiige Substanz statt echtem Caroni-Konzentrat (wir haben immerhin den Ausnahmejahrgang 1996 vor uns). Wahrhaft schade, denn hier war mit Sicherheit mehr drin.

Un peu déçu, très léger. La finale en revanche est très agréable.
