    Sample tasted before I bought em today, nice dirty Caroni and still affordable! 6/10/24: alcoholic

    Very direct in profile and taste, Caroni. Nice and dirty but not too much. Tastes a little like bourbon fudge to me.

    Nice and very enjoyable 98 Caroni. Nice oily texture on the palate. Overall more on the sweet side with noticeable Bourbon cask notes throughout. Moderately dirty.

    This one has a bit of a bit from the ABV so I added a few drops of water to round it off a bit. The water releases a lot of wonderful flavours. The nose intense and has smoky wood, tar, rubber and fruit trailed by leather. The palate is intense and complex with smoky wood, tar, rubber and fruit trailed by leather. The finish is very long with smoky wood and pineapple and some rubber.
