Magnificent!On the nose tar, barrel and lightly cherry and vanilla. In the mouth an explosion of perfectly balanced sensations. Still tar, barrel and followed by toastiness and chocolate with a mix of spices.Intense finish that lingers until the next day.In my small way, one of the best rums I have tasted. I assigned 94 because there are too many great rums that I have never tasted and may never taste.

For me, the remaining price-performance banger at Caroni. Not the best Velier release, even clearly not, but given the fact that here is a completely tropically aged distillate from the legendary distillery in the glass and continues to be available for a much lower price than the current (continental aged!) Releases, the recommendation remains virtually without alternative.

Beautiful Caroni nose. Rather dirty, lots of gasoline and gunpowder. Exotic fruits and lime balance with freshness. Of course a bit less intense than its full proof brethren.Crisp and warm in the mouth. No fruit at all, but caramel.Gasoline and spice in the finish.Great drinkable Caroni that has everything a Caroni should have. I like the gasoline notes the best.⛽️⛽️⛽️PLV these days (01/23) a doozy.

A Caroni that we still sometimes manage to find in stores and that has not (yet) taken the elevator. A fantastic nose, one immediately smells the scents of machine shop and immediately after tropical fruits and a kind of black cherry.The palate attacks hard on diesel and rubber, but without ever being disturbing. A depth and a width of flavors amazing. A great success, but on the rougher side than the Caroni 21 or the Tresspassers of 96.

A lot of Caroni for still reasonably affordable money. Very much workshop. I like the finish best. In the mouth comes through in addition to the classic notes much menthol and in addition an acid. Am not an acid fan in rum. Otherwise 1A rum.

Le nez est très expressif avec de la noix concassée des fruits très mûres et des notes de pétrole. Des épices torréfiés. Par contre je trouve l’alcool brûlant et que le tout manque d’équilibre.

A caroni with freshness notes (eucalyptus, menthol), slightly liquorice and camphor. The empyreumatic side is well present but does not take hold of the whole. The alcohol is very well integrated and the length is superb.

Mein allererster Caroni, den Ich im Glas damals hatte. Und er hatte mir nicht geschmeckt. Jetzt in der Neuverkostung ein ganz anderes Bild. Solider "Einsteiger"-Caroni, der die Dreckigkeit und Teer-Aromen geschickt rüberbringt auf angenehmer Trinkstärke. Nase ist der stärkste Punkt des Rums, hintenraus passiert nicht mehr so viel. Günstigster Velier Caroni, den man inzwischen finden kann.

Un très bon Caroni qui permet d’introduire en douceur et à un prix raisonnable le profil si atypique de cette distillerie défunte. Le nez est très riche, le caoutchouc et le goudron se joignent au menthol et à des notes synthétiques pour une combinaison à la fois sale, empyreumatiques et intense. Le chêne, les épices (vanille très présente) et le cuir sont confrontés à un fruité savoureux sur les fruits rouges, les fruits tropicaux et les fruits secs. Un nez complet et varié. On retrouve en bouche un bel équilibre entre le côté sale de Caroni, limite synthétique, avec un boisé plus marqué sur le cuir, le tabac (cendres) et les épices (réglisse, poivre notamment). Le fruité et le menthol adoucisse le profil, huileux, sec mais très savoureux et abordable. On y découvre une belle finale fumée sur le goudron, la réglisse, le boisé, le cuir, le tabac et les épices. Le menthol, la vanille, le caramel et les fruits secs viennent s’ajouter pour plus de rondeur. Un rhum de référence pour tout néophyte qui souhaite en découvrir plus dans le côté « obscur » du rhum.

Nez atypique sur le caoutchouc et les épices d'abord, puis un peu de fruits et d'épices. Je suis déçu, j'attendais quelque chose qui explose et affiche des arômes en pagaille. Et pourtant, ça ne me parle pas beaucoup. En bouche, pas de claque comme attendu. Le goudron Caroni est là. De la réglisse, une touche mentholée. Rien de dingue. Même sur la longueur je suis déçu. C'est loin de certains rhums dont on garde le goût après un brossage de dents. Hâte de re-gouter avec l'espoir de le trouver meilleur. En l'état, ça reste très bon, mais j'en attendais sensiblement plus. Édit : bien meilleur qu'à la 1ere dégustation. Nez très soft mais en bouche c'est bien mieux sans être excellent. La finale est très agréable avec la touche sale du Caroni derrière une gourmandise fort agréable.

Unexpectedly mild in the nose, even less expected sweetness in the taste, partly fruity sweet, but then again dirty smoky and rather woody and bitter. In the finish then again totally different, as if you keep a delicious ciggare on the palate, but without the smoke. Great Navy Rum!The aftertaste is extremely long especially on the tongue. The tongue becomes furry and downright "stunned" but so that it is really fun.

Kein High-Flyer, dennoch sehr schön abgestimmter Caroni. 100% tropisch gereift und immer noch unter 300 Euro zu haben. Viele werden in ein paar Jahren weinen, nicht mehr davon gekauft zu haben.

I have had not many Caroni, so I cannot compare much. This one shows a bit of the usually attributed dirtyness, up to even a metallic mouthfeel. The Alcohol was very well integrated. It also really reminds me of the strong aromatic rum feel (that is not really rum) from some bakery products. Interestingly I needed to sample this, as the sample bottle seemed to leak a bit, and filled my sample box with a pugent nice rum aroma - so I decided there's no reason to let it get bad. It is good, but not overwhelmingly (to me at least), as I do not appreciate the more dirty elements.

Nez de diesel de bateau, pétrole,caoutchouc,pneu brûlé, super original et typé, on part en voyage! Une vraie découverte à des années lumières des rhums éthérés linéaires classiques, une claque! On n’est pas sûr l’élégance mais sur la force et le caractère.

I tried this one tonight along with the 21. They leaned very close to each other for me, but I liked this one, despite being a little rougher, a little better. Funny, because I expected it the other way around 🤷♂️
