Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: sehr gut, aber Alkohol nicht optimal eingebunden.
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Schönes, süffiges Light-Profil nahezu ohne die Caroni-typischen schweren Aromen. Sehr ausgewogen und damit ausgesprochen angenehm zu trinken; auch bei den leichten Rums hat Caroni exzellente Arbeit geleistet.
I love LTR. It is mild with half Demerara taste and half Caroni. I even smell in nose molasses and sweetnes on tongue
Sehr geile, angenehme Nase. Am Gaumen einen Tick zu scharf für eine Top-Bewertung.
