"I had the chance to taste it blind, and my money was on an old Demerara. A nose of very, very old tropical Demerara, with lots of wood, but balanced by a fresh, almost minty character. Old tar, used to dampen the boards of sailing boats, and spruce too. The palate follows the nose quite closely, with a slight tartness: old tar and varnished wood. The finish is very long, both powerful and elegant, woody to the point of madness, but balanced thanks to the menthol. There's even a hint of salinity on the finish. A rum that tells a story of sailing ships, fragrant warehouses, old ropes and the sea. Splendid!"
"I still really like this, eventhough i for sure is not the best 1996, it really comes a long way from lesser velier caronis. It is for me the weakest of the trilogy, since it is really forward on the wood. Especially after a time this comes out super woody!"
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023 / weitere Tastings: Ein formidabler Rum mit faszinierender Komplexität. Dass mir eine nicht zu leugnende Affinität zum 1996er Jahrgang der Velier Caronis zu eigen ist mag eine Rolle spielen, aber was hier sowohl in der Nase als auch am Gaumen an komplexen Aromenspielen abläuft ist absolut bemerkenswert. Fasseinflüsse, dunkle Gewürzenoten, die bis ins erdig-tabaklastige reichen, harmonisch eingebettete Fruchtaromen (an der Nade präsenter als am Gaumen), elegante Vanillesüsse aus dem Eichenholzfass mit einem karamelligen Unterton - und all das flankiert von den achso typischen dreckigen Noten von Teer, Gummi und Klebstoff…wer Caroni mag, muss das mögen. Ein exzellentes Release, das beim isolierten Genuss bereits voll zu überzeugen weiss und dennoch im Direktvergleich mit weiteren Vertretern dieses Jahrgangs nochmal etwas Federn lassen muss - ja, es geht tatsächlich noch besser. Aber dann sind wir schon längstens in aussergewöhnlichen Sphären unterwegs."
