A crazy experiment! 98 Caroni finished in a 90 Hampden cask. All the caroni markers are there, but they are softer, more accessible and complemented and caressed with even more esters and tropical fruits. Like putting caroni in a sweet brioche bun. Sau cool.
Auto-translatedMessebewertung: der etwas andere Caroni - Hampden Finish definitiv spürbar durch Ester und Tropische Früchte. Die Caroni Aromen sind da, verschwinden im Abgang aber relativ schnell. Nettes Experiment, aber ein Sample reicht bei dem Preis
Auto-translatedGanz ehrlich hat mich dieser 98er Caroni nicht wirklich abgeholt. Meiner Meinung nach gibt es da um einiges bessere Abfüllungen aus dem Jahrgang 1998. Für mich einer den ich in dieser Kategorie hinten einreihen würde. Über den Preis will ich gar kein Wort verlieren.
Auto-translatedInteresting experiment. While it’s definitely worth a try (in the sense of putting the Caroni in the Hampden cask as well as trying this bottling), I would much prefer each individually…. The Hampden notes are more overpowering than enhancing the Caroni for the most part.
