    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its classic Caroni profile delivered with surprising balance. Expect tar, rubber, menthol and licorice over woody caramel and flashes of apple and pineapple. Powerful cask strength yet more approachable than some 1994s, especially after a good rest in the glass. Frequently scoring around 9/10 across 45 reviews, this limited 18‑year Velier HTR is praised for depth, complexity and unmistakable Caroni character.

    Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Exquisite 94 Caroni. Classic profile with decent dirt, but balanced sweetness, wood, spice, coffee, licorice and mineral notes. The Hangar series is definitely top notch Caroni.

    For me, the winner of the 94s. Very intense, relatively round for a 94, but still a lot of Caroni DNA!

    Un nez complexe et chaleureux avec du jus de pomme, de l’ananas et d’autres fruits tropicaux, du goudron. Ça commence en douceur, puis les arômes envahissent la bouche avec des fruits et de l’atelier mécanique. La finale n’est pas des plus longues. Un très beau Caroni, complexe et profond, même si en comparaison directe, les 92 me semblent nettement au dessus des 94.

    Another outstanding Caroni. Extremely powerful even after a 90 minute rest in the glass. 2nd tasting, reducing my note by 2 points. Still a very good Caroni.
