"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: A kind of quintessence of the Caroni profile - tar, rubber, wood. Still pure dirt on the nose, with a subtle sweetness on the palate. Aromatic power in its most elegant form - the rum plays at the highest level in the nose and mouth, beating various other top shots in a blind comparison and therefore ranking among the best releases ever from Trinidad. Impressive."

"Caroni essence and fluid story! But lacks depth and complexity. Is this really an HTR? 😏"

"A rum tasted in Paris, late in the evening, then, more seriously, in Cologne. A full Caroni nose, but without excess. Dried herbs, tarragon, machine fat, butter and the rubber of masks and flippers, reminiscent of family vacations by the sea. A fabulous nose that makes you want to stay for ever, without even tasting it. The first palate gives a sensation of freshness, young wood and even fleeting candy. Then it evolves into a more classic Caroni with a mechanical workshop feel dominated by machine grease. Then the floral, vegetal and almost floral side returns in full force. Exceptional evolution on the palate! A long, elegant finish rounds off this incredible experience. The empty glass exhales mint and dried herbs to complement the mechanical workshop."
