Really kudos to Milano whisky company for this selection! 10 years of tropical aging and 15 years of continental give a nice mix! A super elegant caroni that invites you to keep drinking! It really has a nice balance throughout the tasting!
Auto-translatedIntensive Bourbon-Noten. Typische 98er.
Auto-translatedEiner der teerigen 98er Caronis. Hintenraus sogar etwas Minze, was mir sonst nicht gefällt. Hier ist das ganze aber noch süffig, was ich auf die 10 Jahre tropische Lagerung schiebe. Schöner Caroni, den ich im Spitzenfeld der IB-98er Abfüllungen verorten würde.
Auto-translated#6523 21.03.2026 Day two part two of todays evening tasting with a few friends. Today the music is a bit different because not all like my Trance and Psy Trance, so we have settled on some EDM and hits from the 80s Thank you Tony for this rare sample. I think this is a great bottling and the price is OK at release as well. The nose is a bit atypical with polish, pencil shavings, light rubber, chocolate and roasted wood. The palate is a lith sour touch with wood, salt, polish, berries and light rubber. the finish is very long and light sour with salt, roasted wood, berries and faint rubber. Thie rum needs to rest for a good while and it actually opens up significantly with a few drops of water as recommended by Tony on the sample.
