“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.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: For me, the remaining value-for-money smash 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.”

“Very pleasant and easy to drink Caroni. Well balanced and enjoyable while also carrying the typical notes you would expect. Only criticism should be the low-ish ABV, which could have made for a even better experience, if a bit higher imo. Nevertheless this is very good and can give a lot of more recent continental Caroni bottlings a run for their money.”

“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.”

“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 lot of Caroni for still reasonably affordable money. Very much workshop. I like the finish best. In the mouth, in addition to the classic notes, a lot of menthol comes through, along with some acidity. The nose is also great.”

“The nose is very expressive, with crushed nuts, very ripe fruit and hints of petrol. Roasted spices. On the other hand, I find the alcohol hot and the whole lacks balance.”

“31.12. 2019 Last tasting of 2019 went into 2020. Celebrating with family and friends who like rum we ended up having a great party according to my notes. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose: light wood, roasted, dried fruit, spice, rubber, mint, complex. Palate: oily, fresh, wood, fruity, berries, light smoke, mint, spicy. Finish: long and warm, wood, light smoke, dried fruit. Samples of secret origin.”

“Edit: Now that I've had a few Caronis in the jar, I still think it's the best and cheapest still available. A classic that I simply have to adjust upwards a little! The tropical one beats many a continental one, which are more than overrated and extremely overpriced. For my Caroni horizon, which is still a little limited, a very fine piece. Compared to the Doris, it's a lot dirtier, but I still find it very balanced and round. The only negative point for me is that I don't think it lasts very long, otherwise it would probably have scored a 9 for me.”

“Eine großartige Nase mit typischen Caroni Noten von Teer, Gummi und Leder. Bereichert um Kirsche und Mokka. Im Geschmack finden sich diese dreckigen Noten wieder. Allerdings perfekt ausbalanciert und nicht zu schwer. Hinzu kommen noch Lakritz, Orange und Pfeffer. Langer und angenehmer Abgang. Großartiger Rum.”

“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.”

“Schön dreckige Noten. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Sehr mild. Update: Nach langer Zeit erneut verkostet. Vor 2 Jahren hat er mir nicht wirklich geschmeckt. Nun geht es mit den Punkten deutlich nach oben. Der Caroni hat kaum Süsse sowie Fruchtnoten, dafür jede Menge Holz und typische Caronikomponenten. Für mich reicht es nicht in die Spitzenliga aber dennoch ist er meiner Meinung nach eine erschwingliche Alternative.”

“My very first Caroni, which I had in the glass at the time. And he had not tasted good to me. Now in the re-tasting a completely different picture. Solid "entry-level" Caroni, which cleverly brings over the dirtiness and tar flavors at a pleasant drinking strength. Nose is the strongest point of the rum, not so much happening at the back. Cheapest Velier Caroni, which you can find in the meantime.”

“On the palate: the texture is pretty crazy, thick, really dirty, quite fruity. A little cola, a background of tobacco and this time ok, tar or something less natural! I had to breathe for a long time after the 3rd sip to smell it, but the aromas are there. Finish: small explosion of flavor at the back of the palate, nice spices, light menthol and black pepper. Lacks perhaps a hair's breadth of length, but hey, it's a small sample :) It's intense but relatively mild, I think, affordable enough for those to whom Caroni would scare more than envy! 8.7 because it's just excellent, but... I didn't have the time of my life either :)”
