Limited to a mere 246 bottles this is a very nice one indeed. A dark profile all the way. A nose with lots of flavours especially if you let it rest. Flowery, fruity and the typical tar and rubber. I have a tad of thyme as well. The palate is fruity with oak and smoke and it is spicy, really spice in a pleasant way. The rubber and tar is there again with a bit of chocolate. The finish is long, spicy and has some honey to it.
Another Caroni in my hands. Aroma was heavy (in a good way) with lot of rubber and floral scents (thyme). I let it rest for while to noticed some sweet scents (mostly vanilla and caramel), fruits, smoke, wood and dirt. Very nice combination. Flavor was again heavy, little bit alcoholic and spicy. I love that oil texture with sweet tones of dark chocolate and vanilla and some teopical fruits. Dominant flavors for me were rubber and again herbal tones with hint of smoke, oak and dirt. Finish is quite long, warmy, peppery with lot of rubber and herbal flavors. Great sample, love that even I can say that this reminded of Trinidad rums (heavy, rubbery almost technical). Love that combination of fruits and dark chocolate.
Nose: In addition to the alcohol, a clear note of marzipan. In addition, aromas of rubber and herbs.Palate: Strong alcohol appearance, sharp, then the spice dominates. Accompaniments of, herbs, vanilla, fruits.Finish: Bitter dirty flavors remain, rubber and spice.Conclusion: More marzipan on the nose than the big brother with 65%, but on the palate almost identical with the typical characteristics. However, there are more intense or full-bodied representatives.
🔥 Kill Devil Caroni 1998 – 20 ans – 64,8 % On reste sur le millésime 1998, mais cette fois avec 5 années de vieillissement en plus… et 12,8 % de plus dans le verre ! À l’aveugle, je ne l’aurais jamais placé en Caroni : j’aurais plutôt pensé à un TDL. Profil très fruité et surtout floral, avec une dominante d’eucalyptus étonnante. On retrouve néanmoins une trame fumée et épicée. Un profil atypique, mais vraiment sympa. J’aime beaucoup, même si on est assez loin de l’empreinte classique d’un Caroni.
