    29.01.2022 The big Caroni tasting with old rum buddies, good food, snacks and a lot of talking about old times. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, tar, workshop, dried fruit, light leather. Palate Warm, wood, light roasted, tar, light rubber, fruits, leather, cherry. Finish Medium to long, wood, light tar and rubber, cherry, faint chocolate.

    Nose: In addition to the alcohol, a pleasant vanilla

    The nose hints at alcohol and tar. The palate is a killer, with burnt caramel, dry asphalt, dried candied fruits, peppery spices, the roasted aspect and the tar return and give a strong, long feeling... The finish is long, with candied vanilla, tar and peppery spices, plus sweet baked fruit on raisins...
