"Un Caroni historique conservé à la distillerie dans des cuves inox et dilué à l’alcool neutre (de chez Caroni). C’est exactement à ça que pouvait ressembler le Caroni d’avant Luca. Le “Caroni FELICITE” était un embouteillage officiel de Caroni. Le nez est léger avec des fruits tropicaux, du beurre et de l’atelier mécanique. L’attaque en bouche est légère, puis les arômes montent en puissance, mais rien de spectaculaire. La finale est trop courte, hélas. Le verre vide est beau avec un bel atelier mécanique. Un Caroni décevant pour l’amateur mais très buvable et parfait pour ajouter à ma crème glacée. Nettement en dessous du Bristol VSOC 2003."

"Very smooth rum with light Caroni accents. Sweet. Great story behind it (can I recommend Steffen's Caroni book)."

"Relaxed sipping caroni, unfortunately a little too watered down. Nevertheless, an absolutely beautiful caroni representative that clearly shows what caroni was originally and how the profile has tasted without velier influence!"
