Caroni The Nectar Of The Daily Drams 1998
A few tasters call this a "lighter Caroni" — the trademark tar and hydrocarbons are there but dialed back, leaving more room for wood, tobacco, leather and dried fruit like prune and raisin. Several found it unexpectedly rich and almost dessert-like for the distillery, with a coffee-bitter, drying finish. Fans of heavy, dirty Caroni may miss the usual weight.

How does Caroni The Nectar Of The Daily Drams 1998 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Lighter, woody Caroni with soft tar Well liked as a gentler, more fruit-and-wood Caroni. The petrol edge is softer than usual — a plus for some, a letdown for die-hard fans of the heavy stuff.
Caroni fans who want a more fruit-and-wood-forward, less dirty pour

Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Haaa, the nose is coming together. This is different from traditional Caroni! This has an incredible sweetness to it. Woody/spicy but fruity at the same time. All encompassed by the typical hydrocarbons of the distillery but in lesser measure than usual. It is promising... In the mouth, it is woody. Woody smoked-toasted even! There are plum, raisins, tobacco, mango in the background. The finish is shorter than my Caroni references on leather with a slight astringent note. I really liked this sweetness and greediness but fans of heavy Caroni might be disappointed!
Review by Vincent D
Nose of a greediness to fall. It's sweet and powerful, woody but fruity, with glue and very light tar.In the mouth, it's earthy: leather, tobacco, candied fruits. Astringent just as it should be. A slight bitterness (not the most pleasant). A spicy, green pepper sensation. The wood is also very present.Finish not so long finally, with always the tobacco and the leather which fade for a cold, bitter and drying espresso.It is nevertheless a very particular profile. And very good.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Got a box of The Nectar samples a few weeks back. Just didn't have the time to add then until today. Later today I will attend a Nobilis tasting downtown and I look forward to that. This is a pretty decent Caroni actually and the price to quality is also OK. Not a super dirty Caroni but nice.
Review by Ma_Lau
Nose: floral, pastry, a hint of acidity, very very lightly grimy but not at all prominentMouth: fruity and woody astringent at the beginning of the mouth, then a roasted, cocoa side takes over. The finish is consistent with the mouth. Frankly sympathetic, lacks a touch of greediness
Review by Jan Odvody
At first I wouldn't have guessed Caroni in the aroma. After resting in the glass is a little smells. In the taste it gets closer and in the finish too. A light Caroni. Good.
