    "Quite dry Caroni. Typical associations of tar and rubber, a good portion of smoke and accentuated spices join the tart notes from the barrel and dark chocolate. A quite acceptable representative of the 1999 vintage, but clearly not enough for the Caroni top class."

    "Angenehme Caroni-Nase mit typisch, dreckigen Noten. Ein wenig Menthol. Am Gaumen recht trocken."

    "This is a very nice release and also a very limited one. The nose is wonderfully Caroni with tar, rubber and smoky wood. Once rested fruit and leather notes appear. The nose is kind of sweet and well balanced. The palate takes off where the nose ends. Tar, rubber and smoky wood trailed by tobacco, caramel and pineapple and a light touch of leather. A nicely balanced rum. The finish is long and with smoky wood and fruits. Would have loved a full bottle instead of a sample :-)"
