"Dégustation de quelques Caronis de chez Bristol. Fin d’une bouteille, une excellente chose pour apprécier un Caroni. Le verre embaume la pièce avant même de mettre le nez dessus. Un nez fort et doux à la fois avec de l’orange amère, du chocolat noir et un parfum de vin rouge et bien sûr les parfums typiques de la distillerie. Une attaque vive mais aussitôt après débarquent les fruits et les arômes d’atelier mécanique. Une finale longue et savoureuse où revient l’orange amère et le chocolat. Un rhum dur et fermé à l’ouverture de la bouteille, mais savoureux avec de l’oxydation et même encore meilleur avec beaucoup d’oxydation et magnifique en fin de bouteille. Un des meilleurs de la dégustation."
"A slightly older tasting. A very nice Caroni where you have the traditional rubber and tar notes as well as some fruit and chocolate. Really nice balance between the flavours and also pretty good ABV integration. Pretty good price at release and the empty glass was really nice."
"Schöner Caroni von Bristol. Typische, tolle Nase, wo man Gummi, Teer und Leder erkennen kann. Am Gaumen dann auch Gummi und Teer, kommt aber noch eine schöne Fruchtigkeit hinzu (getrocknete Früchte) und auch etwas Holz. Sehr gelungen."
"A really great Caroni! Classic Caroni notes with a light red wine character. Of the weaknesses of the 1997 batch is here absolutely nothing to notice.A serious alternative to the black bottles. Meanwhile, however, already difficult to get. This rum is my recommendation next to the 17 and 21 Extra Strong to dive into the Caroni world."
