"End of a bottle, an excellent thing to appreciate a Caroni. The glass perfumes the room even before you put your nose to it. The nose is strong and sweet at the same time, with bitter orange, dark chocolate and a hint of red wine, and of course the distillery's typical perfumes. A lively attack, but soon afterwards fruit and machine shop aromas come to the fore. A long, flavorful finish, with a return of bitter orange and chocolate. A hard, closed rum when the bottle is opened, but tasty with oxidation, and even better with plenty of oxidation and a magnificent finish."

"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."

"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."

"Sehr guter 1997er Caroni... ausgewogen und gut trinkbar Alkohol top eingebunden. Schöne Balance zwischen Frucht,Schokolade und den typischen dreckigen Notes (Teer,Gummi etc) Im Abgang schmeckt es etwas nach Karamell dunklen Früchten."
