In itself quite an interesting distillate, but the whole has almost nothing at all to do with Caroni. Opulent sweetness, vanilla, caramel, milky notes, some coffee, yellow fruits. On the palate, a gum note flits through the flavor profile, but that was it with the reminiscences of the typical Caroni notes. A rum that should work much better blind than with the Caroni expectation as a guideline.
This one was supposed to be the piece de resistance, but it was a huge disappointment especially when looking at the price tag and we all agreed on that. The Caroni is there but not that well balanced. The long finish is more bacause of a poorly integrated ABV in my mind.
That's supposed to be a '96 Caroni? That's strange. I wouldn't have blindly guessed a Caroni - it has far too little body, hardly any flavor, relatively neutral, alcoholic. Too bad.
Spíše ostřejší sladká mléčná čokoláda s karamelem s náznaky laku a gumy. Žádné náznaky petroleje či hořkosti, což bych od Caroni z roku 1996 očekával.
