“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Age is apparent, but without imposing too dominant a bitter note on the rum. Nice sweetness, wood, spice - only the dirty Caroni notes 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.”

“Excellent nose. A tad too astringent on the palate for a top rating.”
