    How does this rum taste?

    • Classic Caroni dirty complexity
    • Impressively balanced and rounded
    • Long, evolving finish

    Tar and raisin leap out from this iconic Caroni, joined by touches of caramel and rugged wood. Long-aged at cask strength, it balances signature “dirty” Caroni notes with an unexpected roundness, dry finish, and hints of vanilla and leather. For collectors and fans of robust, characterful Trinidad rums, it’s a chance to experience a true piece of history. Worth considering for those seeking deep, complex flavours.

    "The Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: Complex with pointed sweetness and heavy fruit notes, which are contrasted by the barrel influences, tart spiciness and subtle Caroni dirt notes. One of the releases from the presumed "Paxarette era", which scores with sophistication and complexity despite 24 years of tropical storage."

    "Ein wunderschöner Caroni!! Eher zum Genießen. Viel getrocknete Früchte, Holz und Gewürze. Flüssiges Lakritz. Teer und Gummi sind insgesamt nur schwach wahrnehmbar. Sehr rund, warm und ausgewogen. Ich hatte Glück, eine halbvolle Flasche in einem Restaurant erstehen zu können."

    "Geile Röstnote! Sherry-Assoziationen durch die Zugabe von Paxarete. Trockener Abgang."

    "Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: Schön rund, eher fruchtig, wenig dreckig, vielleicht nicht ganz so komplex. Abgang nicht ganz so lang."
