Some lonely souls are claiming that there’s no good Caroni left. I don’t think that’s exactly right…
COLOUR: amber.
NOSE: oh, metal polish in abundance and some sour, umami-y, savoury notes of ready-made miso soup, plus some tobacco and notes of walnut shell and pine cones. Some old kelp too, Spanish ham, bone marrow… It is a whole meal! With water: must be me losing all senses, but this reminds me of the old, pre-Glenmo Ardbeg 10. Soot, coal, tarry ropes and stuff…
TASTE (neat): big, punchy, earthy, very tarry and almost rubbery. Which works here. Could someone try to smoke porcinis please? And then report back to WF’s Research Committee?
TASTE (With water): yeah, there, lime and seawater.
FINISH: long and bitter, on artichokes and Brussels sprouts. What works in whisky or rum would never work in a soup… right…
COMMENTS: a big boy, with this very specific kind of rubber that’s very Caroni in my book. Now I would have called this The Warlord rather than The Duchess (I’m not sure anyone wants to hear your opinion on these matters, S.)
