Smoky Caroni. I like!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
11.06.2021 A nice evening with some friends at the beach bringing some nice rums. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, spice, faint rubber, workshop, cherry. Palate Balanced, light wood, faint tar, light rubber, faint smoke, raisin, light cherry, spice, faint coffee. Finish Medium to long, light wood, faint smoke, rubber, medium dry, light coffee, faint cherry.
Review by Mirco
Round, continental Caroni that doesn't offend anywhere. The dirty notes are missing. However, some smoke does come through, which is unusual. However, it is fun and was affordable at the release price.
Review by Johannes
A somewhat unusual Caroni. Lots of alcohol at the beginning, which is not so well integrated, then light wood notes, smoke, few typical Caroni notes, some vanilla. The finish is surprisingly short.
Review by Jakob
Quite smoky Caroni, which is generally more at home on the dry side. Tar, tobacco and smoky notes dominate. Not quite my world.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
A little one-dimensional compared to cave guildive and Bellamy caroni but still delicious!
