    Aroma: floral, dense, wine, smoky-tropical, paint and varnish smoky notes are comprehensively mixed with tropical aromas, a very cool tropical aroma. Taste: dense, a lot of fruit with sourness, then a smoky plume, paint and varnish notes in the background. Long smoky fruity aftertaste. The fortress is high and I don't really understand all the nuances, but damn it's very tasty. Аромат: цветочный, плотный, винный, дымно-тропический, лакокрасочные дымные ноты комплексно перемешаны с тропическими ароматами, очень крутой тропический аромат. Вкус: плотный очень много фруктов с кислинкой, затем дымный шлейф, на заднем плане лакокрасочные ноты. Долгое дымное фруктовое послевкусие. Крепость высокая и я не сильно разбираю все нюансы, но блин это очень вкусно.

    What a slap in the face! I finally understand the legend of Caroni thanks to this bottle! There were a few centiliters left, so the rum had time to air out. Bubble gum on the nose with esters and candied fruit. Easy midpalate, then the famous tar and bicycle tube. Drank at Dram 242 with Sven from Premium Spirits.

    I always love when there is a Caroni in the tasting and this one was no exception. The nose is typical Caroni with tar and rubber in the woodiness. Fruits, vanilla and licorice compliment the overall nose. The oily palate takes off where the nose finishes, and the tarry rubber, wood is very well balanced with the fruit and vanilla. The finish is very long and woody with rubber, tropical fruits and vanilla.

    A lot of liquorice, vanilla, tar and rubber. Complimented by spices, dried tropical fruits and hints of incense. After some time I also found a little bit of blackcurrant and eucalyptus. The palate is oily, sweet and spicy with perfectly integrated alcohol and all from above. The finish is long and warm, again with liquorice, vanilla and some tar. A great Caroni overall. Many thanks to SaibotZtar for the Sample!
