"Beaucoup de fruits au nez, un léger menthol et des herbes. Des notes persistantes mais légères d’atelier mécanique et du miel de thym, mais aussi de la fumée. La bouche s’ouvre avec douceur, puis les fruits et les autres arômes s’assemblent et montent en puissance. Une très belle évolution de bouche avec un côté givré assez marqué. La finale est très longue avec comme une poire William et d’autres fruits jaunes. Le verre vide offre encore plus d’arômes, sur les côtés fumés, fraîcheur et atelier mécanique : une merveille !"
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Offers the entire aromatic spectrum of high-class HTR caronis. In the flavor profile close to the 1992 full proof representative of the Hangar series, thanks to the reduced alcohol content somewhat more accessible."
"Very high up there in the Caroni league. Well balanced with pleasant depth. At 55% this is very approachable and drinks dangerously easy."
"Top quality! Dirty, fruity and intense nose. Complex and creamy on the palate. Perfect drinking strength."
