8.3/10

A rum enjoyed at a restaurant, the bottle barely opened. A beautiful nose with mechanical workshop notes, tropical fruits and a yogurt-like side. The palate is a bit rough, lacks balance with a somewhat unpleasant sharpness, a pity! The finish is a bit short but the empty glass brings this somewhat disappointing Caroni back to life.

9.5/10

Aroma: fresh dense smell of paint, dried fruits, tropical fruits in the background, interesting citrus-oily-paint aroma. I stood for a while and the aroma is very fruity, mango, ripe apple with oily tobacco tones in the background. Taste: dry, very light, tart nutty-woody taste, which turns into a long dry aftertaste, with very neat and light paint notes. Аромат: свежий плотный запах краски, сухофрукты, тропические фрукты на заднем плане, интересный цитрусово-маслянисто-лакокрасочный аромат. Немного постоял и аромат очень фруктовый, манговый, спелое яблоко с маслянистыми табачными тонами на втором плане. Вкус: сухой, очень лёгкий, терпкий орехово-древесный вкус, котрый переходит в долгое сухое послевкусие, с очень аккуратными и лёгкими лакокрасочными нотами.
