    "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 😊"

    "Solid 97 Caroni. Really a good batch with many exciting continental bottlings. Heavy workshop notes paired with a deep sweetness. Caroni in its purest form. In comparison with other 97 Caronis (Bürgermeister, S-Shop), this one unfortunately comes across as too brute. Unfortunately, the alcohol drowns out a lot, as the competitors are much more delicate."

    "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 😋"

    "8,5:On the nose, the first impression we get is quite rigid roasted wood notes like caramel, burnt sugar, nuts, leather, spicy vanilla and industrial ones with rubber and tar.It needs time to reveal its depth with other notes, as a molasses is dark with licorice then, vegetal, eucalyptus is also there after an oxidation, the wood is smoky, spicy with pepper, the first fruits that arise are citrus, then dried with raisins, prunes and tropical with mango, banana.Later the rum becomes tannic, as some meat notes could pop up. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is fruity and industrial with dried fruits like apricots, raisins, citrusy orange, the industrial ones are rubber, tar, bicycle tube.The wood is charred, creamy with caramel, nuts, burnt sugar, milk chocolate, spicy with vanilla, pepper. After resting, it becomes dirtier, there is some menthol, the molasses is darker with licorice, vegetal with herbal notes, a bit flowery. The longer in glass, more delicious it is, as yellow fruits, plum and banana could be tasted... 8,7:The finish is long with dirty industrial notes, menthol, roasted and spicy, dry wood, tropical and dried fruits, a bit bitter, tannic.."
