„Quite the deception, especially at nearly 600€ for 50cl. Rather flat and a bit weak, fruity with a little spice. If you are looking for classic Caroni markers you will not find them here…“

„Beautiful representative of the 1998 vintage. Round with relatively few dirt associations. Great sweetness and balance. Fun to drink!“

„Very horny 98 caroni. Extremely Smooth for 61.9% . A little too soft and sweet for my taste, but does not completely blow me away now.“

„#4165 This is a very nice and subtle Caroni that has a very good balance both in the flavours and the ABV. Love the fruity bit and that the Caroni flavours develop while it rests.“

„Very round, typical 98 with lots of bourbon notes, lacks some complexity.“

„Une très belle sélection.. C'est impressionnant au niveau intégration d'alcool.. Bcp d'aération pour un nez qui se développe au fil des minutes.. En bouche par contre c'est excellent beaucoup de menthe de fruits rouges toujours ces hydrocarbures mais c'est pas très sale non plus..“

„A l’ouverture au nez c’est complètement fermé après un peu d’aération 15/20 min ça va un peu mieux on peu sentir le fruit confit ça a l’aire très gourmand une légère odeur de goudron et pointe de vanille mais l’alcool est très présent Après 45 min 1h au nez c’est beaucoup mieux en bouche c’est assez différent le côté alcool qu’il y’a au nez disparaît complètement l’alcool est très bien intégré un petit goût de chocolat de pâtes de fruit et un léger hydrocarbure qui est pas désagréable La fin n’est pas très longue mais pas trop courte non plus j’ai un goût de tabac froid qui me surprend n’étant pas fumeur et je n’aime pas du tout l’odeur du tabac froid, là ça me plaît énormément.“

„Bon au milieu d un dimanche ensoleillé entre amis,quoi de mieux que de goûter le dernier caroni du marché et dont tout le monde fais des éloges, je precise que je n ai pas goûté les sc, uniquement quelques employees, the last , 35th release donc j ai quand même quelques attentes caronesques, malheureusement le ciel devint obscure immediatement, attaque/bouche et longueur d un profond ennui, pas de marqueur caroni, une trame moyenne et un finale bof, je ne sais pas quoi dire là au vu des autres notes, on trouve bien mieux pour 4 fois moins cher.grosse deception pour ma part“

„Au nez, on sait de suite qu’on a affaire à un Caroni, l’alcool se fait discret on a un poil d’hydrocarbure et beaucoup de fruité, du boisé, Cacao, feuille de Tabac, caramel, léger caoutchouc. En bouche, l’attaque est franche on a de suite les marqueurs habituels du Caroni, Caoutchouc, Feuille de tabac, on a aussi le côté très fruité qui se confirme en bouche, banane, fruit rouge, pruneau, pêche et une pointe de fraicheur mentholée. En finale, on a une bonne longueur, toujours très fruité et épicé ! De la cannelle, du tabac et un boisé léger, je placerais ce Caroni entre un heavy et un light avec une bonne intégration des 61,9° d’alcool.“

„Nez fermé à l'ouverture de la bouteille. Après 5 min, pas besoin de se pencher sur le verre. On trouve le côté lourd, goudron avec un peu de fumé. Explose en bouche dans l'idée d'une salade de fruits rouges (framboise) mélangés aux fruits tropicaux avec un peu de citron puis laisse place aux notes dures avec un peu de boisé et toujours de la fraîcheur. Quand on l'avale il coupe le souffle avec un mélange goudron et bois. Finale sans fin qui me laisse un goût de cuir pendant plusieurs minutes.“

„Smoky, inky nose, bit peated but quite round. Very pleasant. Powerful. Fills the air. One of the best tried so far. Powerful attack. Hints of leather, cloves but still fresh. Bit smoky as well. Overpowering at first. Very long and persistent Very enjoyable“
