Velier Caroni 100% Trinidad Rum 15 HTR
This rum lands all the expected Caroni cuesâtar, leather, smoky woodâbut dials them down for easier sipping. Good for those seeking balance over brute force; one to try if you like your rum dirty but not overwhelming.
Nice dirty, woody profile, approachable Caroni character, nicely balanced.

How does this rum taste?
- accessible and gouleyant
- tolle Aromatik allerdings nicht so komplex
- easy sipping Caroni
The 100% Trinidad Rum 15 HTR from Caroni by Velier is all about signature tar, leather, and burnt sugar, layered over roasted wood and a gentle undercurrent of dried fruit. RumX users often call out the balance of âHolznoten harmonieren zu verkohltem Grillfleischâ (@Christoph) and mention âDie typischen Marker sind daâ (@Serge), though the classic Caroni intensity is a bit tamed here. Fruity or smoky notes emerge after airing, but overall, many find it more approachable and less aggressive than other Caroni bottlings, with an approachable bitterness in the long finish.

To Caroni
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: The HTR profile comes through, rather dry overall, little sweetness. Well accessible thanks to the reduction, without offering any great complexity. Apart from that, however, a solid Caroni from tropical storage with a classic profile."
"Typical Caroni rum. However, not very special at a low drinking strength. The aroma is there, but not particularly complex. In my opinion, the weakest of the bottlings from the standard series. Nevertheless, a rum that is fun to drink."
"Very nice entry level Caroni at a wonderful drinking strength. More toasty and more caramel than the 12. Falls in comparison to the outstanding 1996 vintage but clearly."
"Compared to the 12 year old this one is fruitier and it has more complexity and smoothness to it. The nose is typical Caroni and it's rounded and intense with a bit of industrial flavour to it. The palate is very complex and fruity with smoky oak to it. The finish is very long and fruity with smoked oak to it. Price to quality is good. "
