"A rare 1995 Caroni still available in England for a very good price. The nose is a silky mix of tropical fruit and rubber with a brown sugar/caramel edge. The palate is soft, with lots of fruit and little machine shop. A far cry from the 1997s, very close to the 1996s in fact, with a real balance of all the Caroni aromas. A rum with broad, deep aromas but with great drinkability thanks to a very fine integration of the alcohol. In the same vein as 2002's Gran Torino, but despite a higher ABV, the Gran Torino has a better integration of ink alcohol. I love it and recommend it!"

"Nice one. Rather more on the sweet side with nice depth and complexity."

"This is a caroni that I appreciate very much for its accessibility, balance and depth.The palate is fat and vanilla, reminiscent of a custard. This is accompanied by a fine woody, smoky note, tobacco, rubber and a little tar. These last notes become fuller as the rum gets airier."

"95 Caroni, almost a unicorn compared to the widespread and really strong 96 vintage. This Caroni is more on the sweet, fruity side and somehow almost a little weak, despite being 54%. Nevertheless, there's also plenty of dirt, rubber and some mint and menthol. Not a bad Caroni, but also a good piece of the (Velier) top!"
