Review by Mirco
Typical Caroni with dirty notes which, however, does not offend anywhere. Alcohol wonderfully integrated. A very nice bottling.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Pretty well priced Kill Devil compared to what you get. The nose has the typical Caroni with tar and rubber as well as wood, leather, tropical fruits and light vanilla. The palate lives up to the nose with tar and rubber complemented by fruit, leather and a hint of vanilla. The finish is medium to long with wood, rubber and dried fruits.
Review by Stijn Zino
Not a strong nose but Caroni is there. Nice balanced caroni in palate. Very enjoyable. Floral in the beginning and more dark fruit at the end.
