Review by Filip Šikula
Ve vůni tohoto caroni citím tátovu dílnu, i když méně než bych u caroni čekal. Z těch caroni, které jsem zatím měl možnost ochutnat má spíše sladší začátek. Ten ale velmi velmi rychle přechází do technick´ch tónů, které mi vyhovují a má krásný dlouhý závěr. Tohle mě baví!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a rum for experienced rum drinkers. Very complex and extremely smoky. This rum was destilled in 1996 and bottled in 2011. Matured for 12 years in Trinidad.
