"Round, continental Caroni that doesn't offend anywhere. The dirty notes are missing. However, some smoke does come through, which is unusual. However, it is fun and was affordable at the release price."
"11.06.2021 A nice evening with some friends at the beach bringing some nice rums. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, spice, faint rubber, workshop, cherry. Palate Balanced, light wood, faint tar, light rubber, faint smoke, raisin, light cherry, spice, faint coffee. Finish Medium to long, light wood, faint smoke, rubber, medium dry, light coffee, faint cherry."
"A somewhat unusual Caroni. Lots of alcohol at the beginning, which is not so well integrated, then light wood notes, smoke, few typical Caroni notes, some vanilla. The finish is surprisingly short."
"Smoky Caroni. I like!"
