A real Caroni cracker. Beautiful 1996 representative. Vanilla-caramel-wood ripeness in a harmonious foreground in front of tar, rubber and mango. Very very nice. Really great 1996 Caroni. Insanely delicious. I think I like it almost better than the Last.
Auto-translatedIm Battle um die Krone befanden sich der allseits beliebte Caroni 21, der Last und der Dirty Harry. Nach meinem persönlichen Empfinden und Vorlieben, würde mein Ranking so ausfallen 1. Dirty Harry 2. Last 3. Caroni 21 Alles drei absolute Knaller keine Frage. An einem anderen Tag kann es natürlich auch wieder anders ausschauen. Aber es handelt sich hier wirklich nur um Nuancen.
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Angenehm, dass auch hier die lange tropische Lagerung nicht in zu heftige Bitternoten umschlägt. Die herben Noten sind zwar vorhanden, aber in schöner Balance mit den hier sehr ausgeprägt auftretenden tropischen Früchten (Mango, Kiwi), Teer-, Metall-, Karamell-, Holz- und Würznoten. Nach wiederholtem Tasting liegt er im Direktvergleich für mich klar vor dem Schwester-Release zu Ehren von Sonny Black, weil er m.E. Ein deutlich ausgewogeneres Gesamtbild bietet. Einer meiner subjektiven Favoriten aus 1996, weil er mit seiner tollen Tropenfruchtaromatik am Gaumen ohne erkennbare Fehlnoten ein absolutes Alleinstellungsmerkmal erreicht.
Franconian Rum Tasting Gang & Jakob, 2023-07-27 Teil 3: Gegenüber dem Caroni 21 eine deutliche Steigerung, auch wenn die 0,2 Punkte nicht danach aussehen. Am Gaumen weniger fruchtig, aber würziger, rostiger und noch komplexer.
