"#4090 This is a very nice Caroni and a smoky one indeed. In the glas it's a bit cloudy but nothing that matters. All the expected Caroni notes are there once rested, rubber, tar and smoky wood. There is a light orange note in the profile and I like that. Well balanced and good ABV integration. Draws really nice and slow curtains and the empty glass has even more smoke and fruit flavours."
"Very good Caroni. Sensationally good nose for a Caroni. Properly emphasized rubber. Otherwise chocolate, fruit, leather, menthol, smoky and then some peach and coffee on the finish. Unfortunately, it loses a little of its momentum on the finish and is quickly gone; it is also less complex on the finish. But it is still good fun to drink."
"I don't find the typical Caroni notes as present as the other tastings suggest. A good Caroni but, as far as I can judge from my experience in this area, not at the top level"
"Alcohol not optimally integrated, somewhat unround, lacks some complexity and intensity."
