The famous tasting of the S.B.S. single cask set. Cask # 216. The nose has a mechanical workshop and metallic edge, followed by fruit. A powerful yet elegant nose. The palate gives the same sensation, powerful aromas and elegance. The finish is long and very Caroni, the best of the four. The best of the 4 with cask #53.
The comparison is between 4 Caronis Single Cask 1997 from SBS. The best of the 4 Single Cask presented in this match. The nose stands out with its lovely fruitiness that comes opulently over the empyreumatic notes. Varnish, tar, rubber, leather and smoky notes are wrapped in velvet, with a hint of sweetness on honey to give an intense, elegant whole. The palate makes the difference, offering a lovely basket of tropical fruits that accompany the sweetness, already present on the nose, with salted caramel, cocoa, vanilla and sweet pepper. Hydrocarbons, leather and smoky notes are also present. The result is a complete rum, more complex and refined in every way. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is beautiful, long and flavorful. Spices, roasted notes, hydrocarbons and hot caramel are all warm. But it's the hazelnut and tropical fruit that steal the show, with a little twist on the finish that pleases the palate. As mentioned above, this is the best of the 4 Caroni, brilliant in its aromas, finesse and versatility.
Finally, the last Caroni from the 4-piece S.B.S series for me. I also think it's great. On the nose and palate, the beautiful Caroni notes of rubber, tar and leather. Also nicely spicy and a little woody. Alcohol super integrated. Top.
Like all 4 in the set, delicious and relatively affordable by Caroni standards. Update: After a long time back in the glass and still delicious and worthwhile in the Caroni price-performance comparison. Dirty and sweet.
