Velier • Diamond
1988   18yr   59%   €€€€

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"Luckily this was the last rum of the evening or all the other samples would have failed horribly in comparison. A great rum and again one that was hidden in the back of a top shelf at a tiki bar., where they had a rum aficionado. The nose is complex and well balanced with fruits, smoked Wood, vanilla and chocolate. The chocolate and vanilla really come out if you leave the empty glass for a while. The palate takes off where the nose finishes. Complex and well balanced with fruit, smoky wood, vanilla and a hint of coffee/mocha. The finish is incredibly long with wood, cherries, chocolate and vanilla. I know this is a rare bottle, but my oh my, what a great rum."

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Mehr Fasseinfluss, erkennbare Bitterkeit. Alkohol sehr gut integriert. Etwas weniger Menthol als bei anderen Vertretern des Jahrgangs. Schöne Komplexität."

"Has a bit more steam compared to the other Albions, but then shows the great Albion facets in pure form - oak, vanilla, caramel and latte meet nice spiciness. Excellent."

Velier • La Bonne Intention
1998   9yr   55,6%   €€€€

Top review from Jakob:

"Dark dried fruit meets wet leather, tobacco and smoke - very impressive melange with various reminiscences of other Demerara styles, but here blended in almost perfect harmony. Hard to believe that such a balanced and versatile profile can emerge after a comparatively short aging period."

Velier • Diamond
1993   12yr   61,4%   €€€€

Top review from Robert Bauer:

"Nose The Bouquet is a Versace dress in liquid aggregate. Incredibly oplulent, vibrant and yet of undeniable elegance. Feels almost like a perfume called Eau de Demerara, coming straight from the jungle. The scent of the finest, freshly cut woods such as sandalwood and cedar alternates in continuous play with lovely blossoms of ylang-ylang, poppy blossom, lilac and myrrh. The whole weave is carried by sweet mangoes, sticky glue and a light coconut blossom note, which absolutely corresponds to the Diamond profile. Palate La grande bellezza! Sweet, super concentrated and oily, the first sip fills the palate with dried mangos, fried cassava slices, tamarind paste and milk chocolate with coconut filling. But there is also a note of Masala Chai in there, giving it an oriental twist. The sweetness is striking! At no point does the 61.4% abv seem dominant or sharp. The tropical maturation has done a perfect job here! It's clearly a Diamond Coffey Still Rum, yet it somehow tastes more refined and sophisticated than the other Velier Diamonds. ғɪɴɪsʜ Long like the red carpet of Cannes, flanked by the abovementioned fine woods and a whole bunch of citrus peels."

Top review from Jakob:

"To date, the most impressive testimony to the quality Foursquare is capable of producing. Aging in former Madeira barrels brings a perfect flavor complement to the usual Foursquare profile and puts the Destino in a different league than the bulk of other Foursquare bottlings. Excellent."

1996   20yr   70,1%   €€€€

Top review from Joachim Guger:

"In the glass it takes times an eternity, two hours of ventilation is not wrong there.A wonderful nose, beautiful dried fruit. The classic Caroni vibe (burnt tar, rubber) is not quite as pronounced and unexpectedly (70%) the nose is somewhat restrained.In the mouth then brutally the fist, but very, very good. In the finish then still spoils the full load of spices.Beautiful Caroni to enjoy and then freshen up."

Velier • Caroni
1996   23yr   66,5%   €€€€

Top review from Jakob:

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Formidable 96 Caroni with the typical heavy sweetness, rich dirty tar notes, wood, menthol and a good hint of chocolate. What fascinates me most is how clearly the differences between Trinidad and Guyana Stock come into play here, despite all the comparability - the Trinidad barrels bring in a pointed astringent character that can quickly seem overwhelming at first, but de facto allows a completely different facet of the 96 Caronis to emerge and opens up a fireworks display of aromatics. Impressive - a delight."

Top review from Jakob:

"Exquisite Hampden. Fans of the tropically aged high-ester representatives are offered a lot here - the tropical fruits meet the right mix of wood influences from the barrel, sweet pastry notes, some glue and spice. Hampden at its best - inspiring."
