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.

Ein durchschnittlicher Caroni, der seinen Schwerpunkt auf den Werkstattnoten hat. Er kommt recht mild bis wässrig rüber. Insgrsamt fehlt etwas an Komplexität.

Pleasing Caroni, which unfortunately lacks a bit of complexity. Interesting are the fruity-sour notes that join the classic Caroni profile. Unfortunately, there is not much more noteworthy beyond that. The age is noticeable in a positive sense, wood and spice are recognizable, but for the highest consecrations it lacks a bit of variety on the palate. Nevertheless, a good rum, but the bar is clearly too high for an entry in the top range at Caroni.

Very minty and leathery Caroni..both on the nose and palate it is not very dirty, although the distinctive traits of Caroni are there (Fusel oil, tar, some vague tropical fruits). On the palate, it is more peppery, warm and woody. Finish il long, dry and bitter, with more wood and leather. All in all, a solid Caroni!

Haaa, le nez se met en place. C'est la version bien sale de Caroni : cuir, kérosène, pneus brûlés. Mais avec un profil plus boisé amer que d'accoutumé et des épices. C'est plus solvanté. En bouche, c'est costaud (et pourtant nous en sommes au 9ème verre de la soirée). On retrouve du boisé fumé-toasté ! Il y a de la prune, des raisins secs, du tabac, de la mangue en arrière-plan. Mais cela maque de gourmandise. La finale est longue, très beurrée et astringente. Le nez était sympa mais la bouche manque de gourmandise. Il ne me procure pas suffisamment de plaisir, surtout au tarif des Caroni !!!! Probablement que j'en attends trop de cette provenance ...

Don’t be afraid of “bicycle tube” “solvent”... this is a really elegant rum, upsetting tastes but everything at its place,
