    "Ho avuto la fortuna di assaggiare questo rum direttamente da chi lo ha imbottigliato! Un caroni elegantissimo dove si mischiano le sue solite note di catrame e medicinali a note più dolci di frutta, crema e cioccolato! Una parte che non ho riscontrato in nessun altro caroni è il sentore presente di lievito che si percepisce anche leggermente nel gusto!"

    "I don't know what to say. But this Caroni is really great;-) Nice rubber, solvent and dirt on the nose. Typical Caroni on the palate. Very medicinal, rubber, tar and leather are recognizable. Wow, 1a :)"

    "Surprisingly very nice filling from wild parrot. Again, a very technical nose, which I have been seeing a lot lately with the 1998 caroni. Slightly sweet, yet very technical and finishes with a slightly minty flavour profile. Perfectly untegrated alcohol and a long warming finish."
