8.2/10

Farbe: Goldbraun bis Bernstein Geruch Intensiv und aromatisch. Aromen von Karamell und Toffee, Sandelholz und Lakritze. Zudem Orange. Geschmack: Im Mund süß. Würzig und sehr holzig. Dabei scharf, bitter und alkoholisch. Zudem Lakritze und etwas Toffee. Leicht verwässert. Abgang: Mittellang Trocken, holzig, bitter und alkoholisch. 82 Punkte Für einen Caroni schmeckt mir dieser hier nicht.

Sweetness, some dirt, some fruits, feels a little toned down. Not bad overall.
