    The 1999 Caroni vintage is quite convincing: caramel sweetness meets dirty tar and gum notes, wood, spices and dark chocolate and coffee. In addition, crisp roasted aromas - the Scotchman is just ahead for me, because the profile is still a bit rounder overall, but 1999 lands for me among the continental Caronis increasingly clear before releases from 1997 and 1998.

    Amazingly complex Caroni with very multi-layered notes of cask, menthol, vanilla, bourbon, caramel, citrus. Alcohol could be a little better integrated.

    Very thick and heavy Caroni. All the tar. Diesel. Petrol. Burnt sugar. Unlike some of the same vintage not much fruit/berries. Needs some time and a drop of water. Very sticky. (I tasted it the next morning still). An acquired taste (even for Caroni). Very nice though. Also overpriced.
