“Nose has a (comparably) sweet and vanilla forward character to it. A little unexcepted on the palate. Some sweet notes again paired with raisins and dried fruits. Little bit to light on zur Dirty notes for my liking. Not bad after all.”

“A good average Caroni with the necessary flavors, but not quite balanced! The alcohol is relatively present and too little tar and fruit for my taste, but a little too much wood!”

“Relatively hard at the first sip. Good flavor and very nice Caroni profile. Alcohol is a little too present in the mouth and finish for me though.”

“On the nose rubber, oak, caramel and fruit candy. On the palate, bicycle tube, tar, tannins, espresso. The alcohol is a bit too present on both the nose and palate. Not a bad Caroni, but a year ago there was also the Velier 21 to have for the price called 🥲.”

“Tar in nose, but rather on a hot summer day on Route 66 than freshly tarred. The rubber of the motorcycle tires is also just evaporating and it's been some time since anyone braked here. For 62.3% here simply lacks the power.”

“After filling, nothing but some wood and burnt sugar came out of the glass. After a few minutes of air, however, it really gets going: peach and banana accompanied by some rubber. The wood remains, but softens a bit, almost like bourbon. The smell is sweet and fruity, like a candy or syrup.Rubber, bitterness and wood dominate the taste, accompanied by too finely ground espresso and apple. Overall, however, unlike the nose here hardly any fruit. After a short while, freshly tarred road joins in before the espresso tips into spicy mocha on the finish. After the taste has largely dissipated remains something mineral on the tongue, as if one had licked a stone.very tasty, only about the price-performance ratio can be argued.”
