Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: Has everything an absolute top Caroni needs!
Another chapter in #RumBuildsFriendships: Found this exotic caroni bottle in a small fast food restaurant (famous for the pinsa and gluten free products). I enjoyed a glass of this caroni during a great talk with the owner of the restaurant and the story behind this bottle! Back to buiness: This is one of my all time favorite caronis due the perfect mix of rubber, tar, bicycle tube and fruits (mango, papaya). The alcohol and barrel is integrated well. The finish is long with all the typical notes.
Beaucoup de fruits au nez, un léger menthol et des herbes. Des notes persistantes mais légères d’atelier mécanique et du miel de thym, mais aussi de la fumée. La bouche s’ouvre avec douceur, puis les fruits et les autres arômes s’assemblent et montent en puissance. Une très belle évolution de bouche avec un côté givré assez marqué. La finale est très longue avec comme une poire William et d’autres fruits jaunes. Le verre vide offre encore plus d’arômes, sur les côtés fumés, fraîcheur et atelier mécanique : une merveille !
