Tasting Notes:

“It was about time we tasted this baby that will probably blow our heads off. Colour: gold. Nose: this is a lighter Caroni in terms of aromas, but of course, it’s powerful when it comes to ethanol. Perhaps the two are connected, aren’t they… With water: oh, how I love those new plastic notes from Temu, Wish, or Aliexpress. Seriously, I adore them—I could order useless electronic gadgets that don’t work at all just to catch that smell when you open the parcel. But let’s not talk about phthalates and bisphenol in our tasting notes (too late, S.). Mouth (neat): quite superb, though very simple at this strength. Bitter oranges, varnish, and a touch of tar. With water: lovely, rather balanced, not really a rubber bomb, but I enjoy it a lot even if it’s perhaps not a Caroni ‘+++’. Finish: long. Paint, rubber, and some budget orange liqueur. Comments: that industrial vibe—whatever that truly means—always appeals to me, even if this isn’t one of the extreme Caronis. Still, it’s very, very good.”
