The age is recognizable, but without imposing a too dominant bitter note on the rum. Beautiful sweetness, wood, spice - only the dirty Caroninoten could be a little more present. But fits seamlessly into the series of excellent Caronis from Velier and confirms their exceptional position among the flood of releases from the distillery.

Die Farbe ist schon mal ein Traum… Erwartungsgemäß eine dichte, volle, ausgewogene Caroni-Nase. Lack, viel verkohlte Eiche, Teer und Gummi. Dahinter volles Karamell und schöne Kakaonoten. Toll! Im Mund die volle Ladung, viel Holz und Gewürze. Langer Abgang, wieder viel Holz. Wieder hohes Niveau, wie erwähnt tolle Nase, im Mund etwas eindimensional. Trotzdem ein Erlebnis.

I'm in heaven I can remember thinking while sampling these wonderful rums :-) The nose on this one has the roasted oak, tar and rubber trailed by fruit and caramel and a hint of vanilla. The palate continues where the nose left off. A heavy well balanced rum with roasted oak, tar, rubber and fruit closely trailed by vanilla, chocolate and light leather. The finish is long with roasted oak and a nice mix of spices and caramel and a hunt of rubber.
