Un très beau nez qui laisse présager des merveilles. Caoutchouc, fruits secs un côté rôti et du bois noble. La bouche est un peu déçevante, diluée mais avec un menthol/eucalyptus frais très intéressant. La finale est un combat entre le menthol et l’atelier mécanique. Un beau rhum de chez Bristol, sa trop forte dilution, à mon goût, lui fait perdre des points. Par contre on le boit facilement et il est très agréable. Merci Rodolphe pour le sample.
"Première expérience Caroni qui ne déçoit pas, on est sur un produit complexe et unique ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Complexe, Fruits secs, Café, Amande, Vanillé, Cuir En bouche : Mentholé, Toasté, Tabac, Fruits confits, Ananas La finale plutot orientee vers : Menthol"
Despite a significant reduction, we have a quite complex and expressive Caroni. Profile is very well balanced both dirty and round. Biggest drawback is the finish which is not very long and less complex. A very good surprise though 👌
