Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extrem abgefahren! Belize im caroni fass gefinished... Belize bringt unterschwellig etwas Milchschokolade, geröstete Kokoschips, Sahnekaramell, Salz und Honigbanane & karamellisierte Ananas, gebackenen Pfirsich, sowie starken Pfirsich eistee mit wird aber fast schon von den rauchigen und intensiven noten vom caroni Fass dominiert... Im Abgang etwas frisch nach Piment und Menthol...Insgesamt Richtig geiles Zeug!! Geile Kombi die hier geboten wird! Das Wechselspiel zwischen Belize und caroni finish ist für mich einzigartig und daher auch die hohe Bewertung. Großes Kino für jeden Tag, welches weder überfordert noch unterfordert. Hätte ich gerne eine Reserve Flasche von.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity and dirty with tropical fruits like coconut, banana, then yellow with apricots and peaches, as dirty and rubbery come from ex Caroni cask finish.The wood is roasted with caramel, milk chocolate, leather, coffee, cream toffee. On aeration, strong cardboard note arises, the caramel is candied, molasses brings perfume, as the wood is burnt with sugar, smoky, spicy and menthol is also present. Very complex, but round. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is mostly winterly, smoky and sweet with roasted, spicy, perhaps charred wood notes like caramel, cream toffee, nuts, chocolate.Then Caroni dirt and rubber come out, tropical fruits are with coconut and banana, with resting citrus pops up, dried fruits like raisins and apricots are here, as very pleasant peaches. Industrial notes bring bitterness, also vegetal molasses with black tea, menthol is also present.We have a very round and creamy rum attacking our tasting buds... 8,7:The finish is really long, creamy, even more delicious as before, dry and spicy with allpice.There are tropical and dried fruits, as the wood is smoky and roasted, the molasses earthy with tobacco, industrial with rubber, dirt..
Review by Jan Lu
Sehr interessantes Experiment mit dem Caroni-Finish. Aus meiner Sicht ist es gelungen. Es kommen wirklich beide Geschmacksprofile durch. Das hätte so nicht erwartet. Durchaus empfehlenswert wenn man beide Profile mag.

Review by Frank
Ich bin begeistert. Eine sehr angenehme Überraschung. Man hat tatsächlich kurz etwas Caroni-Feeling in der Nase: Fruchtig und krass viel alter Pfeifentabak zu Beginn. Hat Anklänge von verbranntem Gummi und wirkt dadurch leicht dreckig. Jetzt kommen die weichen, süßen und fruchtigen Aromen durch. Aprikose mit Kokos, Sahnetoffee, Vanille und Milchschokolade. Eine wirklich tolle Mischung. 8,6 Gaumen: der schöne Eindruck setzt sich auch hier fort. Ordentlich alter Pfeifentabak, leicht bitter, dazu fette Pekanuss, ein Hauch Minze und Lakritze, vielleicht auch Süßholz. Umspielt wird es von Kokos und wieder, etwas leichter, Aprikose. Wieder diese süßliche Note von verbranntem Gummi. Sehr schön. Kokos und Schokolade lassen Belize durchscheinen. Gefällt mir auch hier sehr gut. 8,4 Für einen Belize wirklich herausstechend und interessant.
Review by Basti
Anfangs die klassischen Belize-Marker sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen - Kokosnuss, Karamell, Gewürze. Später dann dezente Werkstatt- und Gummi-Noten, die das Caroni-Fass nicht verleugnen können.
Review by Mirco
Toller Belize, welcher auf ganzer Line etwas zu bieten hat. Frucht, Holz Gewürz. Der Ausbau im Caroni Fass lässt den Rum nochmal eine runde komplexer erscheinen. Caroni ist also durchaus wahrnehmbar. Schön.
Review by Oliver
Belize with a 2-year finish in a Caroni cask. After some time in the glass, the Caroni character becomes stronger and stronger. Exciting!
Review by Chrischi78
Man sollte ihm ein bisschen Zeit lassen, um all das zu offenbaren, was in ihm steckt. Spannender Kombination, viel Holz, dezente Süsse und dann wird es schmutzig mit Noten von Gummi und wieder viel Holz im Abgang
Review by Mc Pirate
Extraordinaire nez qui évolue au fur et à mesure de son oxydation ! Pomme, premier nez à l’ouverture de la bouteille ! Puis en s’aerant, le gâteau chaud aux amendes. C’est très déroutant comme nez !! Bouche puissante en attaque, alcool très présent mais la finale est extraordinaire sur le sucre à divers endroits de la langue. Vraiment déroutant, à tel point que l’on finit sur un goût sucré !! Chaleureux en fin de bouche !
Review by Alex Kunath
Solid Belize. Will try again soon, if the nose is not closed. Even after tasting it again, this Belize has a bitter note that I don't like at all. Probably comes from the Caroni cask. Otherwise, it has everything a strong Belize needs. Last bottle tasting: unfortunately I'm not warming to it :)

Assez déçu, trop léger par rapport aux anciens Belize
