Very well balanced nose. Caroni notes are present and clearly identifiable however acompanied by quite some tropical fruits rather than dried fruits which you can find in other Caronis more often. With some time in the Glas dirty notes become more present. Also very balanced on the palate - some dirt and mineralis notes with notes from the cask and caramel fudge. In contrast to the nose I don‘t get much fruits here.
A sort of blend of caroni and Jamaica. A bit smoky. Not to my taste, I didn't finish my glass ... Not at all what I expect from a bottle stamped caroni.
My first 1999 Caroni. I actually find it quite tasty. Nose: Nice dirty-sweet-malty Caroni note, but also accompanied by (overripe) tropical fruits (especially ripe papaya, jackfruit or very ripe dark yellow mangoes ... almost going a bit towards durian). Later also red forest berries. Like a 97 over the thumb with additional beautiful fruit notes. But on the palate there is less to hardly any fruit but classic Caroni notes and a nice mineral tingle on the tongue. I actually wanted to sell it, but thanks to Jakob's advice I kept it after all. It was a good idea 🙌🏽
Dieser Caroni kann mich nicht überzeugen. In der Nase nehme ich in erster Linie Werkstatt und Karamell wahr. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich leicht und weich mit einer karamelligen Anfangssüße, die dann in florale Aromen (Veilchen) abdriftet. Etwas Gewürze und Werkstatt sind auch noch vorhanden. Der Abgang ist relativ kurz und sehr eindimensional (Kaffee/Gewürze)
