"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023 / Whisky Live 2023 / Bottle Opening 2024: Absolutely impressive cask from the Trinidad stock from 1996. Exquisite blend of sweetness, the typical dirty Caroni markers and spice. The consistently high level of the 1996 Velier Caronis is almost unbelievable!"
"Tasted at the WLP in 2023 and a sample from Jakob (thanks!). A classic 1996 nose with lots of depth, the machine shop notes balanced with very expressive fruit. Slightly less pleasant aromas of smoky oak and overripe mango. Wow! A super-expressive palate. Everything is in place and the evolution on the palate is smooth, complex and satisfying. A loooong finish! With woody and slightly smoky notes, discreet until now. A very fine, assertive rum, elegant and harmonious. The woodiness/smokiness is very present when the glass is empty, but all the aromas are equally present."

"A sublime Caroni that totally eclipses the first three releases in the Paradise range. We're clearly in another dimension, with a very expressive and diverse aromatic palette, ranging from hydrocarbons to tropical fruit notes, hot caramel, roasted oak, spices, leather, nuts and smoky notes. A real olfactory delight. On the palate, tropical fruits, notably mango and papaya, mingle perfectly with tar and rubber for a tasty, expressive and elegant whole. Caramel, oak, spices and empyreumatic notes (toasted, smoky) add opulence and body to a rich, complex rum. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is almost eternal, with the same contrast of greedy fruitiness on the one hand, and dark, empyreumatic notes on the other, swirling between spices, leather, hydrocarbons, oak, smoky and medicinal aromas. A Caroni in all its splendor, complete, exuberant and refined, a true pleasure that unfortunately is not eternal, and comes at a price too."
