Enquire about availabilityTasting notes
High esters, expected vanilla and caramel with a soft butteriness. Overripe fruit notes of mango and banana, accompanied by the signature Caroni funkiness and the recognisable hint of burnt rubber. Powerful arrival with overripe fruit such as ripe pear, mago and banana, nuts and earthy notes that evolve into subtle rubber notes. Feels silky soft on the palate, with hints of green olives upon longer exposure to oxygen. Floral, with violets and rose bushes, and developing notes from yellow fruits such as banana and ripe pears to stone fruit such as peaches. Balance and complexity: The nose and flavuor profile are beautifully balanced, with depth and complexity from the addition of burnt rubber, floral notes and stone fruit, such as peaches and butterscotch.
