Wu Dram Clan Caroni Single Cask 1997
Sipped neat, this is classic Caroni: tar and rubber up front, diesel and heavy oak behind, with leather and a dark caramel sweetness underneath. One taster catches banana and a cool menthol edge poking through. At 60.6% it's intense and drying — give it time in the glass. A 24-year-old single cask for people who already love that oily, industrial Trinidad style.
The community says- Deep tar and rubber
- Long dry finish

How does Wu Dram Clan Caroni Single Cask 1997 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Tarry, oily 24yr Caroni for the initiated Well-liked among Caroni fans, though a few rate it just behind its 1998 sibling — one flags a mid-palate dip that feels almost diluted before the finish recovers.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one needed to rest a bit longer than the other two in order to release all its flavours. The nose has wood, rubber, vanilla and banana with leather and ginger trailing behind. I'm not sure if I get eucalyptus or menthol in there but there is a light note of one of them. The palate is intense, lightly dry and spicy with rubber wood and spices followed closely by banana and lovely caramel. The finish is very long and dry with wood, rubber and spices balanced by caramel.

Vraiment top, j’adore et le classe juste en dessous de l’autre #2109
Review by Lot-NAS
Schöner Tropfen, der für mich aber dennoch etwas hinter den Erwartungen zurückbleibt.
Review by Jakob
Liegt für mich etwas hinter dem 98er aufgrund der zu starken röstigen Noten.
