Classic, dirty 97 Caroni powerhouse

Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers looking for fruity, easygoing sweetness rather than dirty, industrial and roasted notes.

Revisiting. Still a fantastic rum for the price
Mein erster Caroni. Vom Geruch her hätte ich zu allererst auf einen Whisky getippt; intensive Fassnoten, dazu Vanille, Gummi und Anis. Im Mund kommen dann Teer, dunkle Schokolade und ein mineralischer Geschmack dazu. Abgang mittel, jedoch stark Alkohol lastig - klingt lange nach.
Klassischer 97 Caroni, deren Profil mir hervorragend gefällt. Dieser hier hat auch den leicht süßen Unterton unter den schweren Teer Noten, den man/ich bei Caroni so liebe.
Not too bad a release, would have loved a slightly better ABV integration. Needs to rest for a good while before it releases its flavours.
