“I love the Carons, I love them so much that I find it hard to be impartial. I won't go into it because it would just be fancy words anyway! Nice Caroni, but surely there will be better. Of the ones I have tasted this one I think is the most distinctive because it remains excellently balanced between the typical tar notes and the peaty/smoky whisky notes. Far superior to the Rum Nation 21y Caroni aged in Scotland. Let's be clear that this is not a classic Caroni! Finish not as long as other Caronis.”

“Un Bristol non ou peu réduit. Le nez est marqué par le bois, le fumé, la vanille et la banane. La bouche est très expressive avec des arômes larges et profonds. J’aime cette aromatique Caroni, très classique ici. La finale est longue, élégante avec la plupart des arômes de la bouche. Une réussite ! Même si j’ai une préférence pour le 18 ans de la même série. Merci Michael pour le sample.”

“A really great Caroni nose. Lots of rubber, lots of caramel, plenty of ripe mango. Complex spice, the barrel maturity holds back. Old, dusty chest of drawers, I love it.😀😀 Oily caramel, oak and spices in the mouth. The finish could be a little longer. The 1997 Bristol are really excellent, although I liked the 2015 from memory a touch better. This one is a little more on the rubber, caramel and ripe mango side. In my opinion, it can certainly hold its own with one or two black bottles. In the meantime (04/2023), this one is only available on the secondary market. ☹️”
