Tasting notes

Color: Ravgylden
Aroma: Rent, typiske noter fra Caroni med kraftige olierede aromaer, der aftager efter et par minutter. Intense modne banan-noter, ved siden af et livligt balsamisk strøg af eukalyptus, lakrids og cedertræ. Med vand forbliver det stort set uændret, undtagen tilføjelsen af anis og en vægt på den samlede balsamiske karakter.
Taste: Først møder ganen noter af tjære, sød lakrids, kamfer og bålfyringsrøg. Citrusfrugter i rimelig mængde gennemsyres af krydret træ og et diskret strejf af sort peber. Et par dråber vand frembringer de søde balsamiske noter, mens tjære- og rygnotorerne begynder at aftage.
Finish: Meget lang, primært domineret af lakrids, men også af den intense røgkarakter og kanelnuancer.
