“Tolle, typische 1997er Caroni-Nase. In Relation zum Alkoholgehalt kräftig. Perfekt ausgewogen. Schönes Mundgefühl, kräftig und warm. Sehr schöner, langer Abgang. Der Prototyp eines (hervorragenden) 1997 Caroni. Alles da, keine Extras.”

“Man merkt, dass es eher ein jüngerer Caroni ist, der schon viele dreckige Noten vorzuweisen hat. Alkohol gut eingebunden, schöne Komplexität!”

“a real revelation compared to the recently tasted whiskey Doris 97 Caroni. On the nose dirty notes, but not too aggressive, in between always a touch of dried fruit and caramel. On the palate workshop, motor oil, dark chocolate, burnt sugar. A nice smoky bacon note on the finish. Stands on par with the good 97 Bristol or S.B.S. bottlings for me. Best thanks to Vienna for the sample.”
