12th GRF, Colours of Rum Tasting. Quick and short... Nose: rubber glove, plastic, some bacon too, toasty. Yes, Caroni. Vanilla. But a bit restrained... Palate: strong here, nice and sweet, bacon, singed plastic, little mint, very round and pleasant, I like very much.
Tasted at the 12th GRF Bonus and highlight at the Colours of Rum Tasting. Very smooth, much Caroni but of course there's such a bottle not free.
Das Überraschungssample im colours of Rum Tasting danke Steffen 😀 Ist ein schöner caroni aus 98 intensiv nicht überfordernd. Die dreckigen Noten sind da aber leicht versteckt.Mir gefällt er sehr gut.
Probiert auf dem 12. GRF, in der Masterclass bei Colours of Rum und präsentiert von Special-Guest Steffen „Caroni“ Mayer: In der Nase das klassische Caroni-Profil, wie viele 98er eher auf der süßen Seite. Am Gaumen dann auch ordentlich Dreck, das was wir an Caroni so lieben, aber auch nicht zu stark. Dazu etwas Tabak und grüner Tee, was diesen Caroni durchaus etwas speziell macht. Insgesamt reicht es nicht für die Spitzengruppe, aber trotzdem eine sehr schöne Abfüllung aus unserer verlorenen Lieblingsdistille
