Caroni tasting
Nase: Haselnuss, leicht Zitrusfrucht, etwas Blumig, leicht Gummi eines aufgeblasenen Ballon, ganz leicht Rauch/Aschig, schön komplex und angenehm Gaumen: Der Gummi kommt in den Vordergrund, öliger Universalschlüssel, Cashewnüsse, Grapefruit, sehr angenehm zum trinken, dr öliger Universalschlüssel bleibt ewig auf der Zunge und vorallem im Gaumen. Leider Geil.
Tasted at the WLP in 2023 and a sample from Jakob (thanks!). A classic 1996 nose with lots of depth, the machine shop notes balanced with very expressive fruit. Slightly less pleasant aromas of smoky oak and overripe mango. Wow! A super-expressive palate. Everything is in place and the evolution on the palate is smooth, complex and satisfying. A loooong finish! With woody and slightly smoky notes, discreet until now. A very fine, assertive rum, elegant and harmonious. The woodiness/smokiness is very present when the glass is empty, but all the aromas are equally present.
