„Slight hints of earthy notes bring unexpectedness. But apart from that, a solid Caroni from tropical storage with a classic profile.“

„Very nice entry level Caroni at a wonderful drinking strength. More toasty and more caramel than the 12. Falls in comparison to the outstanding 1996 vintage but clearly.“

„Compared to the 12 year old this one is fruitier and it has more complexity and smoothness to it. The nose is typical Caroni and it's rounded and intense with a bit of industrial flavour to it. The palate is very complex and fruity with smoky oak to it. The finish is very long and fruity with smoked oak to it. Price to quality is good.“

„Un rhum goûté dans un restaurant, la bouteille est à la moitié. Un nez sur le fruit, peu d’atelier mécanique et comme une acidité. La bouche laisse apparaître comme un carbonique, de l’orange amère et un léger caoutchouc. La finale est un peu courte pour un Caroni. Le verre vide fait la part belle au boisé, au fumé et aux notes d’atelier mécanique. Le moins intéressant de la série 12-15-17-21-100th, mais tout de même un beau Caroni avec un vieillissement tropical.“

„Première plongée dans Caroni, un coup de cœur, qui viendra est supplanté par le 16 ans derrière!“

Profile picture of user
8.7/10

„A really distinct ethyl note followed by deep burnt sugar and sawdust. On subsequent sniffs the burnt sugar gets stronger, almost giving a Demerara adjacent impression. Heavy, but surprisingly gentle on the front of the palate with tons of smokiness, wordiness, burnt sugar, and a touch of currant. The proof really hits at the back of the palate aerating that classic Caroni smokey-rubber. The finish is long, but strikes a balance between the rubber and burnt sugar. Overall incredible—I’m going to have to find some more Caroni :)“
