The Whisky Agency Caroni Automobil HTR 1997
Highly praised as a lighter, wood‑forward Caroni with clean technical notes, herbal fruit and tar. Less wild than classic bottlings but still intense enough to satisfy many Caroni fans.
Caroni fans who enjoy drier, oak‑forward profiles with technical, oily notes but don’t need full‑on heavy Caroni funk or high cask‑strength power.

Newcomers, sweetness seekers, or drinkers expecting an intense, dirty Caroni bomb rather than a more polished, wood‑dominated expression with some astringency.

This is a nice and kind of light on the typical Caroni notes and still intense at the same time. The nose herbal with banana and light notes of wood, rubber, tobacco and polish. The palate continues on the herbal note with some banana, nuts and vanilla trailed by wood, rae and runner. I get light bitter and salty note there as well. The finish is long and has wood, tar and vanilla to it.
Garage pas propre humidité, fraîcheur, assez réduit. Alcool bien intégré, finale assez cool avec les marqueurs Caroni, jolie fraîcheur. À fallu du temps pour s'ouvrir
Svincany caroni tasting 19.12.2024 nos jsem chvilku musel hledat, ale nakonec se očekávané technické tóny dostaví. V chuti i přes nižšsí abv přijemně intenzivní techniclý zážitek ovoněný spoceným koněm :-)
Haaa, the nose is coming together. It is different from the traditional Caroni! This is more typed on wood and spices. All encompassed by the typical hydrocarbons of the distillery but in lesser measure than usual. It is more solvent. In mouth, big disappointment, it is very woody. Smoked-toasted woody even! There are plum, raisins, tobacco, mango in the background. But it's not greedy enough. The finish is rather average, very peppery and astringent. The nose was nice but the mouth not very interesting. This rum is much too smooth and monolithic!
