This is good. While it is what you expect from a Caroni, brash, aggressive, full of motor oil and mechanic shop notes, this lacks the balance some other Caronis I have tasted seemed to have. This is almost all straight up mechanics shop, with just faint peppering of fruit and spice to balance it out. I still find it good, but this isn’t one I would rush out to buy.
