Such a nice floral and fruit taste. Of course tar and oil is still there but not so aggressive. Pretty delicate
aroma sharper, I smell tall grass, maybe sugar cane leaves, maybe a little honey the taste is full, strong, powerful, heavier but terribly honeyed
Colour dark amber Aroma petroleum, leather, dense, heavy, slightly menthol and citrus Taste fruit sweetness in the beginning followed by spices, mint, later petrol leather, taste full complex well integrated alcohol Long finish petrol, leather, mint
Today we had another tasting with a few surprises in store. This one is not your standard Caroni. Probably a good "starter Caroni".
