Freshly laid asphalt and melted rubber dominate, dense, almost scorching, accompanied by an industrial note. Then the profile gradually opens up, revealing roasted fruits: caramelised mango, candied papaya, and a juicy, slightly toasted peach. A hint of liquorice and menthol cuts through the whole, bringing a pleasant freshness that balances this darkness. The longer the glass breathes, the more fascinating the contrast becomes between tarry heat and fruity brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Full-bodied and powerful from the first sip. The dark side immediately takes the upper hand: hydrocarbons, hot rubber. Very quickly, the fresh and roasted fruits return with a vengeance – mango, papaya, peach – some even emerging as compote, bringing a lovely richness. The mentholated freshness settles in gradually. The balance between raw intensity and fruity roundness is remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Notes of tar and rubber linger, accompanied by roasted fruit. The menthol returns on the finish, leaving a fresh and slightly airy sensation that prolongs the tasting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion: A Caroni HTR that pulls no punches with its very distinctive notes, where the power of the industrial notes meets a lovely fruity richness. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swell de Spirits All rights reserved","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53389724680529,"sku":null,"price":116.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2318\/5582\/files\/WILDCARD_08_SITE_01.jpg?v=1774607519","url":"https:\/\/www.swelldespirits.com\/en\/products\/8-wild-card-series-caroni-htr-1998","provider":"Swell de Spirits All rights reserved","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
