Velier Caroni 6th Employees United HTR 1996 26yr 66,6%
The 6th Employees United HTR is a limited-edition rum distilled at Trinidad's renowned Caroni distillery in 1996 and expertly selected by Velier. Bottled at cask strength with a robust ABV of 66.6%, this 26-year-aged rum offers an intricate nose featuring caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit with tar. On the palate, it reveals intense licorice, rubber, and menthol intermingling with vanilla and tar. While some users appreciate its bold and complex profile, others note a pronounced woody bitterness and heavy herbal notes. Crafted from molasses, this rum truly encapsulates the distinctive Caroni style – rich, spicy, and slightly sweet, making it a cherished choice among connoisseurs despite minor divisive elements in its tasting experience.

“Unfortunately, not my cup of tea. Much juniper, wood and bitterness.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Hat eine überraschende Nuance von Fruchtestern, aber natürlich bleibt der Caroni-Stil unverkennbar. Hohes Niveau, aber keine 96er Spitzenklasse mehr.”

“A special release from Velier, however its probably not their best Caroni. In saying that, its high praise indeed as it's still a full blown tropical aged 25 year old beast from THAT now closed distillery! You can tell its DNA, ashpelt and rubber, and there is a nice sweetness to it as well. Lots of wood which is probaly why I am getting a slight bitter note? Spicy.”
