“La fameuse dégustation du coffret des single cask S.B.S. Le fût # 190. Le nez le plus fruité des quatre mais quand même avec des notes typiques de Caroni. La bouche elle aussi est très fruitée, les arômes Caroni viennent ensuite. Je sens comme une faiblesse en milieu de bouche. La seule finale fruitée de la série. Verre vide : les arômes sont un peu trop discrets. Quelques points au-dessous des fûts #53, #216 car moins équilibré.”

“The comparison is between 4 Caronis Single Cask 1997 from SBS. This Caroni starts well enough, with a nose of caramel, cola and brown sugar. This sweetness overhangs the heavy, dirty elements typical of Trinidad, but finds itself playing with leather, roasted and spicy notes and nuts. The fruitiness is rather light. A nose that could fool a lover of Latin rums. The palate falls a little short of expectations. The caramel and sweetness are there, with a hint of smoke and spice, but an almost watery mouthfeel spoils the taste pleasure. Dark chocolate and machine shop come through more timidly. The alcohol could have been better integrated. The finish suffers on the palate and fades rather quickly. Warm caramel, chocolate and drier notes of spices, leather and empyreumatic flavors (smoky, roasted) are present. The mechanical workshop has disappeared in favor of medicinal notes that struggle to turn things around. On the whole, this is a straightforward Caroni that's not all that distinctive, lacking the weapons to compete.”
