“epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: HTR/LTR blend in which the classic dirty Caroni flavors play only a minor role. Nice sweetness, recognizable wood, plus some tar and spice - basically a good rum, but just rather on the mild side for Caronis.”

“A Caroni Single Cask from a blend that was matured in Trinidad, then in Guyana before finishing in France. We find the influence of Guyana in the nose, tropical fruits, spicy and woody notes taking precedence over the typical tar and rubber. There are some sweet, floral notes and esters as well. On the palate, the dark profile of Guyana brings a lot of sweetness and leaves only some empyreumatic notes. The finish is long and remains on a fruity, slightly roasted, woody and spicy register. Far from the typical dirty and powerful profile, this one distinguishes itself by its sweetness and balance, whose aromas are mastered and the alcohol very well integrated. Still, it needs more to become a real unicorn and justify the price.”

“Great sweetness on the nose. On the palate incredibly complex and intense. Great cocoa notes.”
