    Today we had another tasting with a few surprises in store. This one is not your standard Caroni. Probably a good "starter Caroni".

    Good thing it says Caroni, otherwise I would have guessed a mediocre Ten Cane with poorly integrated alcohol.

    Such a nice floral and fruit taste. Of course tar and oil is still there but not so aggressive. Pretty delicate

    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
