    "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."

    "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."

    "Geruch: Man merkt direkt die Caroni DNA. Hier kommt abwechselnd was rostigen und was fruchtiges Kraftvolles in der Nase. Geschmack: Die Noten aus der Nase spiegeln sich auf der Zunge deutlich wider. Lecker! Allerdings könnte der Alkohol besser integriert sein."
