If you already know Caroni and want an easygoing one, this 1999 fits. The dirty side is there — tar, rubber, a mineral tingle on the tongue — but it sits alongside caramel fudge and, unusually, ripe tropical fruit on the nose (papaya, mango, jackfruit). At 55.3% it stays soft rather than sharp. Give it air and the workshop notes step forward.

Relaxed Caroni with classic Caroni notes in the profile - but quite balanced. One of the early releases from 1999, but already showing the potential of the vintage. A nice "drinking Caroni" with a little air.

A sort of blend of caroni and Jamaica. A bit smoky. Not to my taste, I didn't finish my glass ... Not at all what I expect from a bottle stamped caroni.
Review by Thunderbird
I'm not convinced by this Caroni. On the nose, I primarily perceive workshop and caramel. On the palate, it is light and soft with an initial caramel sweetness that then drifts into floral aromas (violets). Some spices and workshop are also present. The finish is relatively short and very one-dimensional (coffee/spices)
Review by DomM
Very well balanced nose. Caroni notes are present and clearly identifiable however acompanied by quite some tropical fruits rather than dried fruits which you can find in other Caronis more often. With some time in the Glas dirty notes become more present. Also very balanced on the palate - some dirt and mineralis notes with notes from the cask and caramel fudge. In contrast to the nose I don‘t get much fruits here. Update - side by side with three other cont. 1999 Caronis: while notes above remain true, in comparison with older and (especially) higher ABV bottlings, this one lost quite some points… there is not enough intensity left to compete on the same level. Standalone and for a laid back experience, this bottling is still very nice - underpinned by my previous standalone tasting :)

Review by Serge
My first 1999 Caroni. I actually find it quite tasty. Nose: Nice dirty-sweet-malty Caroni note, but also accompanied by (overripe) tropical fruits (especially ripe papaya, jackfruit or very ripe dark yellow mangoes ... almost going a bit towards durian). Later also red forest berries. Like a 97 over the thumb with additional beautiful fruit notes. But on the palate there is less to hardly any fruit but classic Caroni notes and a nice mineral tingle on the tongue. I actually wanted to sell it, but thanks to Jakob's advice I kept it after all. It was a good idea 🙌🏽
Review by Johannes
At first briefly nice bourbon notes, rather light, then suddenly the full blast of Caroni with dirty notes, before it ends mild again. Very exciting!
Review by Mentalo
So far, the few 1999 Caronis I've had in the glass haven't convinced me. Same with this bottling from a Swedish bottler. The Caroni is not bad, but unfortunately too one-dimensional. Quite a lot of sweetness, but at least also the typical dirty Caroni notes.
