Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a another rare bottle and I was really happy that my friend got a full set and I could buy some samples. This is a great Caroni and if you get the chance you should give it a go. Make sure you rest it for a good while so that you get the full experience. The nose is a clear Caroni with tar, varnish and smoky wood trailed by cherries and vanilla. The palate is fruity with tar, wood, tobacco, leather and wonderful vanilla. The finish is long with fruits, tar, wood and light vanilla. What I like is that the flavours stick to your palate for a very long time. Price to quality can be argued but it is a great release.
Review by Jakob
Erneut ein klassisches 98er Caroni-Profil, durchaus klar im Ausdruck: Holz, Karamell, dunkle Schokolade, dann Teer mit dezenten Gewürzen und Trockenfrüchten. Ein schönes, ausgewogenen Aromenspektrum, allerdings mit leichten Abzügen für den leider nicht ganz rund integriertem Alkohol.
Review by Johannes
Really good 98!
