A rather sweet nose, mixing diesel and cooked banana, bicycle tire, tar, and tropical fruit. A frosty side, but less present than in the dirtier 1992 Hangar. The attack is rather soft, then the aromas arrive with force. But a certain freshness (menthol) and sweetness (caramel, pastries) complicate this rum. The finish is very long and elegant. A tar different from other Caronis, like an insulating tar for roofs. Powerful yet smooth, that's a good summary for this rum with its deep, varied aromas. An easy-drinking rum with perfectly integrated wood. Very different from 1992 Hangar 55%, yet magnificent!
Dirty, fruity, intense nose - very horny! Complex, creamy and very smooth on the palate. Better than the Full Proof!
Typical Caroni profile with apple and pear notes which add more complexity and balance. When you taste this one, you can imagine how good the Full Proof version can be 😉
Overal good balance between fruity and dirty side with dirty notes taking the upper hand.
