Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Lots of ash/mineral/rock/sand in the nose. A bit of paint thinner. Dry. A bit of fruit pops through (apple/apricot). It's subtle but definitely a Caroni. Some diesel. Sadly low in ABV% but with the right glass there's enough to discover; Like an old whisky. Taste more like a 15y than a 6y old rum.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Probably a representative that does not live up to its great name. Very straightforward and not very complex, which is probably due to its dilution and young age. While the nose still has a spicy and herbal note, the palate is completely disappointing. The characteristic notes are mainly present in the form of burnt rubber, but are also only weakly pronounced.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Pizza water 😂 weird explanation but the first scent reminded me of pizza, so herbacious (oregano maybe?) and burnt. Too young and watered down, pale.
Review by Oliver
Very light and accessible Caroni. Almost like rinsing a glass of HTR with water. 🤓
