    "This one was a nice surprise, at least for me. A more heavy one than the others and also much better in all regards. The nose is typical Caroni, intense with all the tar, rubber and polish with a tad of menthol. In the back i find banana and cinnamon. The palate can really deliver on the nose. Again tar and rubber are there mixed with menthol. Fruitier than the nose with herbal and grassy notes. Nice and warm with pepper. The finish is forever with citrus, menthol enveloped by smoky wood.

    "This thing is really something! You rarely find a continental matured Caroni as puristic and intense as this. I've had it in the house bar for a while now and I'm glad that I still have a bottle or two in the cellar. I find it similar in taste to the Velier 12y, just with a real bang %."

    "Nose: slightly rancid meat, very alcoholic all the same, but fades relatively quickly once opened. smoky. Palate: a little alcoholic bite, still strong, alcohol integration not excellent. On the other hand, nice ripe fruit. Light citrus. Length: very nice, nice persistence and very long chew on the Caronian notes we like, this rum is sublime, the fruit comes back afterwards at the very end. very good"
