A very pleasant Caroni. In addition to the dirty Caroni aromas of rubber, tar, tea, leather and barrel/wood, there are also fruity notes (both "fresh" fruit and prunes) and a pleasant sweetness. Together they form an excellent balance, so that 5 minutes later you no longer have the penetrating taste of freshly tarmacked road on your tongue. Alcohol is perfectly integrated!
Der an der Nase nicht spürbare Alkohol spielt seine Stärke erst zum Schluss aus und verleiht dem Rum einen ellenlangen Abgang. Der hätte für mich aber ruhig süßer ausfallen können. Auch davor dominieren die typischen dreckige Teernoten und geschmolzener, noch warmer Gummi. Ich vermisse, ehrlich gesagt, fruchtige Anteile, die dem Rum Rundheit und Komplexität verliehen hätten. Dieser Caroni tut, was man von ihm erwartet. Mehr aber auch nicht.
Am Sonntagnachmittag in der Herbstsonne einen Caroni tasten: Eher leichter und milder Vertreter. An der Nase die typisch dreckigen Aromen, am Gaumen dann sehr rund mit einer leichten Süsse und fruchtigen Akzenten. Sehr ausgewogen
Solides 97er Profil. Nicht super dreckig, eher im ausgewogenen Bereich. Die fast 70% sind hervorragend eingebunden. Ein exzellenter Sipper, passt zum Ritz Carlton.
