“Unfortunately, not my cup of tea. Much juniper, wood and bitterness.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Hat eine überraschende Nuance von Fruchtestern, aber natürlich bleibt der Caroni-Stil unverkennbar. Hohes Niveau, aber keine 96er Spitzenklasse mehr.”

“Very herbal note with gin associations. On the palate, the gin continues. Very special bottling.”
