Tasting evening at Dr. Django and thanks to "mto" for this souvenir 😉. This is a consistently good Caroni with the expected profile, but a little too tame overall! The aromas from dirt to red fruit are all there, but seem a bit "sweet"! It lacks the top after all
all the typical markers are present, just not as complex or brute as other representatives from the house. I attribute this to the fact that he spent a large part of his maturity in a continental climate. Overall, quite round and rather 'fruit-driven' for a Caroni.
Typical Caroni profile is perfectly mixed up with round notes like vanilla or banana leading to a nice balance ! Alcohol is perfectly integrated on both nose and palate. Super elegant profile despite the sharp notes of leather and wood. Definitely a great rum 😋
Alcohol not well integrated
