Review by Werni
A Caroni with a nose that is really strongly reminiscent of an Agricole. In the mouth, first typical rubber and tar notes followed by herbal aromas and ending with a fine honey sweetness. The finish is quite bitter and burnt, with aromas of berries and a few herbs. Delicious drop for one to whom the high end Caronis will remain largely hidden 😉.
Review by bossi
Die typische ’97 Caroni Nase: Petroleum, rauchendes Gummi, Benzin, Tabak und auch Orangenzesten. Im Mund dann zu Beginn eine kurze angenehme Süße, die schnell in Würzigkeit und auch leichte Bitterkeit umschwenkt. Auch Trockenfrüchte wie Daddeln oder Pflaumen sind für mich auszumachen. Der Abgang ist geprägt von den Aromen aus der Nase und vielleicht auch ein wenig Bitterschokolade. Als Vergleichskandidat habe ich den A.D. Rattray Caroni 17yo in CS rangeholt (für mich der Referenz Caroni aus 1997). Der SBS ist definitiv ein guter Rum, kommt aber leider für mich nicht an der ADR ran – weder in der Nase noch am Gaumen. Er ist nicht ganz so komplex und schwer wie der ADR und für mich auch etwas „columniger“, wenn man das sagen so sagen kann ;-). Nichtsdestotrotz defintiv ein sehr guter Rum. 86 Punkte

A nice unfiltered rum with a nice sharp taste.
Review by Daniel
Nose: More pleasing than the little brother at 63.1%. Chocolate, coffee and tropical fruit, only very discreet rubber. Palate: Present, long-lasting attack of alcohol. Then rubber, tar, herbs as well as spicy flavors. Finish: Bitter and rubber, but also a touch of cola. Verdict: The nose pleases more than the weaker brother. More intense alcohol on the palate at the start. Full-bodied and round.
