Caroni Employees Dhanraj Maharaj 5th Release 25YO 1996 66,3%

Colour: Mahogany, red lights. Irregular heavy tears.

Nose: Heady burnt tones of plastic and coal. Floral shades on potpourri and jasmine. Passion fruit brightness. Chicken broth and smoky wood in the background.

Palate: More structured than expected. Burnt wood, plum eau-de-vie aftertaste, camphory depth. Slightly dusty. Bold oak presence.

Last Notes: Briny black olive tapenade, citrus zest, charcoal, and precious wood. Herbal finish on toasted bread and cooked herbs.

Strong oak structure and solid personality, but missing finesse and layering.
