"Decent Caroni notes but (out of the 1998s) lacks some of the excitement and punch the destillery is associated with."

"A typical Caroni with not quite so pronounced aromas! The alcohol is very well integrated! Overall a Caroni of the gentler kind, which also allows larger sips, great"

"Pretty dirty at first with smoke and tar. Then it opens up with delicious fruity and round notes keeping company to the typical Caroni profile in the background. Very nice Caroni 😋"
