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 😉

Un profil assez sombre sur les marqueurs Caroni. Ça manque peut-être un peu de gourmandise et/ou de fruité pour que ça soit plus équilibré mais c'est un superbe rum.

This is a very nice Caroni. The nose is heavy and definitely a Caroni. Fruity with barrel and leather and the traditional rubber and varnish/polish. The palate is complex and well balanced with ester and barrel. A warm palate with fruits and a pinch of leather. The finish is very long and warm with smoke and ester.
