Whisky Import Nederland Caroni First Cask 1999
Made for drinkers who chase the dirty side of Caroni — this 1999, aged 19 years and bottled at 61.2%, sits firmly there. Tar, rubber, char and chocolate lead, with fruit barely showing and menthol slipping into a long finish. The alcohol is well integrated for the proof. One catch keeps coming up: a notably astringent, drying finish that a few tasters felt held it back.
The community says- Heavy tar & rubber
- Chocolate depth
- But: Astringent finish

How does Whisky Import Nederland Caroni First Cask 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Dirty, tar-and-rubber Caroni with a drying finish Rated a good "dirty" Caroni, not a top one — several call it well-balanced with little fruit, and one docks it for a harshly astringent finish next to sibling bottlings.

Review by Tschusikowsky
Leckere jedoch auch intensive Caroni Abfüllung. Sehr dreckig overall, als hätte eine Gruppe Fahrradfahrer viel gebremst auf der der Strasse. Komponenten sind aber relativ ausbalanciert, etwas Kirsch, Schokolade, sehr gut.
Review by F.L.O.
Schönes Teil! Toller Caroni für mich als Caroni-Einsteiger. Ein bisschen Dreck, Teer und Röstnoten. Aber nicht zu extrem. Im Abgang kommt Menthol dazu. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Sehr sehr schön.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser Caroni ist eindeutig auf der dreckigen Seite zu Hause. Frucht ist nur ansatzweise wahrnehmbar. Am Gaumen entwickelt sich zudem eine florale Note von Veilchen gepaart mit dem Werkstattaromen. Der Abgang wird dann wieder richtig dreckig würzig. Ein sehr guter Caroni und mit etwas mehr Frucht hätte er durchaus Chancen gehabt, ein paar Points mehr einzusammeln.
Review by Johannes
Ein Caroni, eher auf der dreckigen Seite, aber auch mit schönen Bourbon-Noten . Gefällt mir sehr gut!
Review by Serge
An der Naser recht unscheinbar mit viel Röstnoten, Schokolade, Nuss, etwas Benzin und ein klein wenig Schießpulver – nach einer Weile auch Frucht. Am Gaumen viel Holz mit Menthol und auch Gummi. Dann kommt Teer dazu. Die Frucht und die Schokolade eher im Abgang. Kein Caroni Highlight … aber schön und trotzdem leckerer als viel anderes 😃
