“A sample tasted after the Caroni Velier 1983 52%. Totally different.Thanks Thomas for the sample.This is a "real" Caroni as expected, even stronger than expected.A powerful nose with incense, machine shop, fruit and cold ash.An intense and concentrated palate with mostly fruit and a finish dominated by a noble bitterness.A Caroni for extreme rum lovers.The empty glass tells a whole story of an old church with a tropical fruit market in front. Fascinating!”

“Gemeinsam mit Leo Tomczak auf dem 11. GRF verkostet. Klare Angelegenheiten, ein sehr guter Rum mit allem, was einen Caroni ausmacht, fand ihn super ausgewogen. Der parallel verkostete Rum Nation Caroni 1998 23y (RX11047) hatte keine Chance.”
