Most say it’s approachable for sipping or sharing with friends, and a favorite introduction to the distillery’s bold style. With high marks from seasoned Caroni drinkers and newcomers alike, it’s often called the best value for authentic Caroni character at this age.

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.
Good Caroni with still good PLV. In view of the continental variants at significantly higher prices, a clear recommendation to buyx Typical Caroni notes in a tamed form, which are also suitable for Caroni beginners. Of course, it lacks the complexity of other Velier bottlings.
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.
