The look inside the bottle
How does Whisky Import Nederland Caroni First Cask 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 9 community reviews.
Dirty, woody Caroni for seasoned fans Highly praised Caroni with dirty, woody character, menthol and chocolate, good balance and strong complexity. Not the fruitiest or softest Caroni, but a robust, satisfying cask-strength bottling.
Caroni fans who enjoy dirty workshop aromas, strong oak and menthol-chocolate notes at full cask strength and want to explore a grittier, less fruity side of the distillery.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers looking for soft sweetness and bright fruit instead of dirty rubber, wood and astringent finish.

Review by Tschusikowsky
Leckere jedoch auch intensive Caroni Abfüllung. Sehr dreckig overall, als hätte eine Gruppe Fahrradfahrer viel gebremst auf der der Strasse. Komponenten sind aber relativ ausbalanciert, etwas Kirsch, Schokolade, sehr gut.
Review by F.L.O.
Schönes Teil! Toller Caroni für mich als Caroni-Einsteiger. Ein bisschen Dreck, Teer und Röstnoten. Aber nicht zu extrem. Im Abgang kommt Menthol dazu. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Sehr sehr schön.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser Caroni ist eindeutig auf der dreckigen Seite zu Hause. Frucht ist nur ansatzweise wahrnehmbar. Am Gaumen entwickelt sich zudem eine florale Note von Veilchen gepaart mit dem Werkstattaromen. Der Abgang wird dann wieder richtig dreckig würzig. Ein sehr guter Caroni und mit etwas mehr Frucht hätte er durchaus Chancen gehabt, ein paar Points mehr einzusammeln.
Review by Johannes
Ein Caroni, eher auf der dreckigen Seite, aber auch mit schönen Bourbon-Noten . Gefällt mir sehr gut!
Review by Serge
An der Naser recht unscheinbar mit viel Röstnoten, Schokolade, Nuss, etwas Benzin und ein klein wenig Schießpulver – nach einer Weile auch Frucht. Am Gaumen viel Holz mit Menthol und auch Gummi. Dann kommt Teer dazu. Die Frucht und die Schokolade eher im Abgang. Kein Caroni Highlight … aber schön und trotzdem leckerer als viel anderes 😃
