Review by Double Barrel
A decent Caroni at an indecent price!
Review by Pavel Spacek
The smell is weak, but the taste is no bad. Technical, mild sweet with smoke notes
Review by Johannes
Not quite a round 98, not as much bourbon notes, alcohol not top integrated, slightly flat, alcoholic-dirty finish.
Review by Jakob
Aromatically appealing and quite complex on the nose, dirty notes meet wood, spices and some tobacco. Quite bitter on the palate, with a pronounced smoky, bacony note. Hints of menthol and some caramel in the finish, good alcohol integration. Unfortunately, it already seems a little overpowering to me.
