Svenska Eldvatten Caroni Weiron 1999
If you already know Caroni and want an easygoing one, this 1999 fits. The dirty side is there — tar, rubber, a mineral tingle on the tongue — but it sits alongside caramel fudge and, unusually, ripe tropical fruit on the nose (papaya, mango, jackfruit). At 55.3% it stays soft rather than sharp. Give it air and the workshop notes step forward.
The community says- Tar and rubber funk
- Tropical fruit nose
- But: Can read sweet

Relaxed Caroni with classic Caroni notes in the profile - but quite balanced. One of the early releases from 1999, but already showing the potential of the vintage. A nice "drinking Caroni" with a little air.

A sort of blend of caroni and Jamaica. A bit smoky. Not to my taste, I didn't finish my glass ... Not at all what I expect from a bottle stamped caroni.
Review by Thunderbird
I'm not convinced by this Caroni. On the nose, I primarily perceive workshop and caramel. On the palate, it is light and soft with an initial caramel sweetness that then drifts into floral aromas (violets). Some spices and workshop are also present. The finish is relatively short and very one-dimensional (coffee/spices)
Review by DomM
Very well balanced nose. Caroni notes are present and clearly identifiable however acompanied by quite some tropical fruits rather than dried fruits which you can find in other Caronis more often. With some time in the Glas dirty notes become more present. Also very balanced on the palate - some dirt and mineralis notes with notes from the cask and caramel fudge. In contrast to the nose I don‘t get much fruits here.

20.08.2021 Sitting at home with some samples. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, fruity, light apple, faint tar, light rubber, nutmeg. Palate Round, balanced, wood, light roasted, oily, spice, fruits, light cherry, faint tar, faint rubber. . Finish Medium long, oily, light cherry, faint caramel, light rubber.
Review by Serge
My first 1999 Caroni. I actually find it quite tasty. Nose: Nice dirty-sweet-malty Caroni note, but also accompanied by (overripe) tropical fruits (especially ripe papaya, jackfruit or very ripe dark yellow mangoes ... almost going a bit towards durian). Later also red forest berries. Like a 97 over the thumb with additional beautiful fruit notes. But on the palate there is less to hardly any fruit but classic Caroni notes and a nice mineral tingle on the tongue. I actually wanted to sell it, but thanks to Jakob's advice I kept it after all. It was a good idea 🙌🏽
Review by Johannes
Am Anfang kurz schöne Bourbon-Noten, eher leicht, dann plötzlich die volle Dröhnung Caroni mit dreckigen Noten, bevor er wieder mild endet. Sehr spannend!
Review by Mentalo
Bislang konnten mich die wenigen 1999er Caronis, die ich im Glas hatte, nicht überzeugen. So auch diese Abfüllung von einem schwedischen Abfüller. Der Caroni ist nicht schlecht, aber leider zu eindimensional. Recht viel Süße, aber zumindest auch die typischen dreckigen Caroni Noten.
