Review by Filip Heimerle
Too strong even with few drops of water...tasted better caroni
Review by Oliver
On the nose, the alcohol is a bit too present. On the palate, however, one is rewarded with creamy, sweet-dirty associations. Beautiful 1997 Caroni. After 30 minutes under the glass lid, the alcoholic spiciness on the nose fades, but is still present.
Review by Jakob
The 1997 Caronis are characterized by a rather concise reflection of the usual rubber and tar notes. In addition, there is also a strong impact of wood, spices, leather and licorice. Minimal sweetness from subtle dried fruit that reminds me of raisins. Overall, already very dry and tart - Caroni in the taste extreme.
Review by Johannes
Alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one was a bit disappointing and I had expected more from a Caroni this age. The Caroni notes are there but very weak. The ABV on the other hand is there and very dominant. It didn't settle down until 45+ minutes and then it still wasn't all there yet. I do like the smoky touch.
