This is a nice and kind of light on the typical Caroni notes and still intense at the same time. The nose herbal with banana and light notes of wood, rubber, tobacco and polish. The palate continues on the herbal note with some banana, nuts and vanilla trailed by wood, rae and runner. I get light bitter and salty note there as well. The finish is long and has wood, tar and vanilla to it.

Haaa, le nez se met en place. C'est différent des Caroni traditionnels ! Cela est plus typé sur le bois et les épices. Le tout englobé par les hydrocarbures typiques de la distillerie mais en moindre mesure que d'accoutumé. C'est plus solvanté. En bouche, grosse déception, c'est très boisé. Du boisé fumé-toasté même ! Il y a de la prune, des raisins secs, du tabac, de la mangue en arrière-plan. Mais c'est trop peu gourmand. La finale est plutôt moyenne, très poivrée et astringente. Le nez était sympa mais la bouche pas très intéressante. Ce rhum est beaucoup trop lisse et monolithique !

Un rhum différent des Caroni classique. Très typé bois, épices. Au premier nez on retrouve un peu de solvant puis un côté fumé caramélisé. En bouche, piquant, puissant un peu astringent. Le bois fumé est là, les épices poivre et vanille un peu de fruits mûrs. Un petit côté bois toasté. Finale moyenne, piquante poivré un peu boisée.
