A Caroni that is rather easy to drink due to its low alcohol content. Nevertheless, it has rather dirty Caroni notes.
Light, continental Caroni at a low price. Doesn't tear up trees. Nor should it. Has all the markers that a large Caroni would have. Tar, honey, workshop. Nice aftertaste in an empty glass. On more % the rating would have been significantly higher.
This is a very disappointing Caroni and some of the traditional Caroni flavours are missing. A nutty medicinal nose with some added polish on top and black tea. The palate is alcoholic with wood and the medicinal note is back again as well as a lot of black tea. The finish is medium long, dry and bitter with a pinch of oak. Price does not match the quality.
This 1999 is of course one of the rarest vintages and not one that directly springs to mind. Again there is a lot of mellow bourbon cask that really pushes itself in front of the caroni. This is easy and probably also it's downfall. To simple in the end
