Velier Caroni 36th Release Heavy Trinidad Rum Guyana Stock HTR 1994
World‑class, ultra-dry Caroni: intensely woody, tarry and minty with huge complexity and an endless, tannic finish. Polarizing but adored by hardcore Caroni fans, especially after long oxidation.
A wonderfully intense and heavy Caroni we have here! A dirty Caroni with lots of wood. A very dark color which I guess is the result of tropical aging. A powerful nose. Very spicy and complex on the palate. I am getting petrol, oak and some fruits/mango in the background! The wood is very present, getting close to bitter but still very enjoyable. A very long finish. I have a large sample so I am going to try it again in a few months to see what oxidation does.Read more

Auto-translatedOrdentlich dreckiges Profil mit schweren Teer- und Gummitönen, nur sehr wenig Frucht, viel Holz und ausgewählten Gewürznoten sowie einem Hauch Minze. Macht richtig Spaß im Glas. Entwickelt sich nach Jahren in der offenen Flasche weiter und gewinnt an Komplexität. Für eine höhere Bewertung wirkt der 1994er Jahrgang allerdings etwas zu unausgewogen und wild, was für Caroni-Fans natürlich durchaus reizvoll ist.
Auto-translatedEpic 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.
Auto-translatedInitially quite bitter and minty Caroni. However, with some rest and oxidation unfolds a highly complex and first-class rum!
