A unique Caroni with fruity, woody hints and a dirty, spicy punch. Surprisingly mellow for its ABV, with agricole-like qualities. Long, dry finish with tannins. Not the usual heavy tar profile, but a pleasant, complex sipper with mixed reviews on value.

“Good Caroni from 1998. But similarly to the CDI it is not too expressive and lacks some kind of eye (or tongue?) catcher.”

“For the ABV mega relaxed Caroni. Good alcohol integration. Good profile, not 0815 but nothing extraordinary. On the palate it falls slightly.”

“#11th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: woody, tar, dirty, spicy Mouth: agricole, grass, toasted, rosted almonds, barrel, oak Finish: long, barrel, oak, dry, tannins, astringent It’s a untypical, strange caroni 🤪It’s OK, but didn’t blow my mind. The alcohol isn’t integrated well and the price tag way toooo high. Buuh looks like a crazy agricole in a Caroni barrel. My prediction Guadeloupe. ca.60% approx. 20 Years”
