Klarer Sieger unten den 5th Employees. Kommt aber nicht in die Caroni-Oberklasse.

This one caught me off guard because it was completely different from the rest. The nose had the wood with rubber and tar with fruit, vanilla and caramel, but I also found a minty note in there. Not as heavy in the typical Caroni flavours as the others. The palate complex and well balanced and at the same time soft and dry, an eye opener for me. Smoky wood and rubber, tar and fruity notes follow with chocolate and nice herbal notes trailing behind. The finish is very dry with rubber, dried fruit and chocolate. This one needs to rest for at least 15 minutes or more to release its full potential.

Surpris par le profil ressemblant aux Ron espagnols mais très bon.. le reproche est sur le fait que la finale soit courte et laisse une impression de pas assez . Outre cela le nez est superbe. Ce mélange chocolat et herbes et franchement surprenant...

Plus équilibré que les autres de la 5ème série Employees. Pas très marqué pour le côté Caroni mais intense, boisé et agréable.

Eine sehr, warme und volle Caroni-Nase. Das ölige Karamell verleiht die Aura eines tropisch gereiften Demeraras. Sehr, sehr gediegen, nicht besonders komplex. Ein Wahnsinn im Mund, ölig, voll, sehr komplex. Ein Gewürzbasar. Der Rum bleibt lange im Mund, was sehr schön ist. Ein Wahnsinn auch, was mit den fünften Employees abgeliefert wurde. Am besten gefielen mir der Dan, dicht gefolgt vom Breeze. Schade auch, dass von diesen Flaschen kaum jemals eine geöffnet werden wird.

die 5th Employees Serie nochmal alle drei zusammen verkostet. An der Nase sind sich Dan und Breeze sehr ähnlich, mit Trockenfrüchten, Karamell, Wachs und Politur. Der Roop wirkt hier ein wenig frischer (floraler) wenn man das bei Caroni überhaupt so nennen kann 😉 Am Gaumen hat der Breeze ein wenig mehr Komplexität zu bieten als der Dan, der sehr stark auf der röstig-verkohlten Schiene unterwegs ist. Der Breeze dagegen kann mit mehr ‚Werkstatt‘ und mehr Süsse aufwarten. Der Roop tanzt auch am Gaumen aus der Reihe, er kommt nicht so brachial daher.

Für mich der beste von den 5th Release aber ich muss sagen, dass mir alle drei sehr gut gefallen.

Im Glas ist dieser Rum recht dunkel. Auch hier rieche ich nicht viel Dreckiges, er ist geradezu weich. Hätte ich im Blindtest vermutlich nicht einem Caroni zugeordnet, wobei es den prototypischen Caroni ja gar nicht gibt. Hier schmeckt man weniger verbrannten Zucker, dafür viele Kräuter. Zum Schluss sehr trocken. Nach einer Weile im Glas entfaltet er Aromen von dunkler Schokolade und Mokka. Auch dieser Rum profitiert von der längeren Zeit zum Atmen und gewinnt an Komplexität.
