Great Caroni and one of the best 96 I've ever had in the glass. Absolutely cool matured, in the nose a dream and in the mouth with the best I've ever had. Outstanding
Auto-translated2 drops of water, 2 hours in a glencairn glass before the tasting. It's a beautiful Caroni, very elegant and deep. The best bottle of the 5th employees release. Gorgeous!
Beim zweiten Versuch gefällt er mir viel besser. Sehr intensiv und würzig. Toller Caroni.
Šestý zaměstnanec večere. Ve vůni jde první lešťenka, později sladké tóny karamelu. V chuti je to komolexní zážitek, dřevo, kůže, leštěnka, espresso, v ústech tvoří olejnatý a hutný dojem. Závěr je dlouhý a člověk opravdu nechce, aby zkončil. Nádhera.
