“Une couleur très sombre qui fait penser à “The Beast” de 1993. Le nez est marqué par le bois mouillé, quelques arômes de goudron et de l’alcool de fruits jaunes. Des fruits présents en arrière-plan aussi. La bouche est nettement meilleure que le nez avec toujours de l’alcool de pomme sur-mûres, mais aussi un léger menthol et du goudron maritime assez net. Le bois mouillé, très présent au nez est beaucoup plus discret ici. La finale est longue, comme on l’attend d’un Caroni, avec des arômes marqués de bois doux (réglisse) qui donne un côté presque sucré très plaisant. Le verre vide m’envoie dans une vieille bâtisse en bois qui a subi les outrages du temps sous les tropiques. La couleur de ce rhum faisait un peu peur, ainsi que son nez (trop marqué par le bois humide), mais au final c’est ici un Caroni certes spécial, mais tout à fait bon. J’ai beaucoup aimé son côté bois doux à mâcher qui m’a replongé en enfance.”
