    "Very tasty Caroni...unfortunately hard to come by. Great profile (reminds me a little of "THE LAST" ... Fruit and dirty notes come into their own harmoniously, Alcohol well integrated. Top 😊"

    "Excellent 97 Caroni. Really a good batch with many exciting continental bottlings. Heavy workshop notes paired with a deep sweetness. Caroni in top form."

    "This is a very good 1997 Caroni cask selection from the Rum Cask. A nice interplay between workshop and fruit on the nose. On the palate more on the workshop and woody side... but still fits very well. In the not too long finish again this nice interplay of fruit and workshop. Really delicious 😋"

    "Nose is very nice and balanced. Adding more intense fruity notes to the 97 profile. This is a very nice nose out it the batch. Very nice on the palate as well. Well balanced between dirt, dried fruits and some sweetness. Top notch out of the 97 batch."
