Review by Vinsdorf
Such a nice floral and fruit taste. Of course tar and oil is still there but not so aggressive. Pretty delicate
Review by Michael Janek
aroma sharper, I smell tall grass, maybe sugar cane leaves, maybe a little honey the taste is full, strong, powerful, heavier but terribly honeyed
Review by martin slezák
Colour dark amber Aroma petroleum, leather, dense, heavy, slightly menthol and citrus Taste fruit sweetness in the beginning followed by spices, mint, later petrol leather, taste full complex well integrated alcohol Long finish petrol, leather, mint
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Today we had another tasting with a few surprises in store. This one is not your standard Caroni. Probably a good "starter Caroni".
Review by Lukáš Jarník
Excellent, sharp and delicate at the same time
Review by Uwe
Good thing it says Caroni, otherwise I would have guessed a mediocre Ten Cane with poorly integrated alcohol.
Review by Vít Jurka
