Top review from Jakob:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Brings the whole package - elegant sweetness, dirty notes, spice, wood...sensational depth. For me, one of the best representatives ever from the legendary distillery. Caroni Champions League."

Top review from Jakob:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Exquisite and stylish HTR representative from 1996. Rich sweetness with powerful gum and tar notes. Balanced, quaffable, yet with rough edges. My personal favorite in the Employees series."

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."

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:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Sehr runder Caroni, dem auch die leichte Reduktion auf Navy-Strength nicht geschadet hat. Der Rum bringt die 96er Süsse in Perfektion zum Ausdruck, dazu klingt Gummi, frisches Eichenholz und vorallem eine präsente Würzigkeit aus Kaffee, Pfeffer und Nelke an. War lange Zeit ein noch gut erhältlicher Caroni-Vertreter aus 1996, hat aber mittlerweile „aufgeholt“ und zieht auch preislich an - hier darf aber zumindest festgehalten werden, dass die Qualität im Glas absolut zu überzeugen weiss. Ein exzellenter Vertreter des m.E. ohnehin herausragenden Jahrgangs 1996."

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Pleasant that the long tropical aging does not turn into overly violent bitter notes here either. The tart notes are present, but in nice balance with the caramel, wood and spice notes. After repeated tasting, it is behind the sister release in honor of Sonny Black in a direct comparison for me, because in my opinion it clearly falls behind in terms of balance. However, it should not be forgotten that we are talking about Velier and Caroni in terms of benchmarks, so we are already at the highest level."

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A Caroni representing the distillery's heavy style. The nose is very intense at first, with notes of oil, smoke and spices, then gains in subtlety after aeration with some fruity notes, caramel and hazelnut. The attack on the palate is powerful, heavy and very warm, with notes of tar and rubber. The smoky, spicy side is as present as ever, with a hint of leather and bitterness. Still, red fruits and citrus fruits lurk in ambush, making it easier to drink. The finish is long, dark, smoky and woody, with tannins drying out the palate. A hint of mango also makes itself felt. An unpolished, complex Caroni that reveals much more after aeration."

Top review from Joachim Guger:
"On the nose, freshness and menthol. Nice dirty caroni notes, nougat and then very fruity, mango and passion fruit. The long time in the barrel shows mainly through various spices.In the mouth a lot of nougat and wood. The finish is surprisingly short.Despite the pronounced Caroni notes and the 64% rather tame. Nougat, lots of menthol and lots of fruit."

Top review from Jakob:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Develops amazing aromatic complexity with a little patience and time spent in the bottle. Rather dry Caroni with only discreet, but very charming residual sweetness and a lot of barrel influence, which is undoubtedly intense, but does not tip into the too bitter. One of the bottlings where the long availability is qualitatively inexplicable. Exceptionally good."

Top review from Jakob:
"Top Caroni and an excellent representative of the great 96 vintage. Balanced, complex, Caroni-typical notes, dark fruits and beautiful sweetness. An ideal entry rum into the high-quality world of tropically aged Caronis with now also not quite so easily affordable, but still relatively good value for Caroni."
