“RumX Advent calendar, 11.12.2021, blind. Definitely Caroni and a very dirty representative. Blind then even settled on this bottling, I think it's great. Original review: Tasted for the first time at the 10th GRF in Berlin with René van Houven, thank you very much! A great Caroni that somehow inspires me. Certainly not as spectacular as other boards, especially from the well-known great vintages, this Caroni convinces me above all with its versatility. The subtle and rather fruity nose turns into wood, coffee and other bitter notes on the palate and less clearly, but definitely there is then also banished rubber and tar, so that it is also clear here: Caroni! Half a barrel and only 70 bottles, that's when the "want-to-have" instinct kicks in!”

“Very classic Caroni profile, lies not only according to the vintage between the usual 98 and 2000 profiles with clear tar and gum notes paired with menthol and some caramel sweetness. A positive surprise, a really good bottling.”

“RumX Advent calendar, 11.12., blind, First impression: this is a Caroni! And at 60%. That's right and I know it. I already found it good with René's rarities. This is now confirmed once again. Nose: intense and complex, yet round. First of all, typical Caroni tar and iodine with singed plastic but at the same time with a sweet caramel note and a certain fruitiness, like cherry with dried, sulphurized apricot. Dry tobacco with vanilla and a very light vinegar note at the back. Palate: full-bodied, intense and really tasty. Initially, phenol and iodine predominate with light mint, slightly salted and toasted. Then fruity redcurrant and lime. At the back again rubber and bodily violet and some black tea. Surprisingly good!!!”
