“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Das Alter ist erkennbar, aber ohne dem Rum eine zu dominante Bitternote aufzudrücken. Schöne Süsse, Holz, Würze - einzig die dreckigen Caroni-Noten könnten noch etwas präsenter sein. Reiht sich aber nahtlos in die Serie exzellenter Caronis von Velier ein und bestätigt deren Ausnahmestellung unter der Flut an Releases aus der Destille.”

“Exzellente Nase. Am Gaumen einen Tick zu adstringierend für eine Top-Bewertung.”
