Velier Caroni Blended Trinidad Rum 1988 15yr 43%
The Blended Trinidad Rum by Velier from the Caroni distillery, distilled in 1988 and aged for 15 years, offers a unique tasting experience. This limited release presents an intriguing aroma of tar, vanilla, coconut, woody, and roasted notes. On the palate, expect flavors of roasted wood, caramel, and dried fruit, with subtle hints of tar and leather. Despite its lower ABV of 43%, this rum carries a softly complex profile, unexpectedly resembling lighter Spanish rums, with gentle sweetness, toffee, and chocolate blended with spices and dried fruits. An exceptional choice for those seeking a smooth, mildly intricate, and slightly unexpected Caroni experience, making it a true collector's item.

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Lags somewhat behind the other releases, partly due to the dilution and partly due to the blended profile, which comes across as somewhat colorless overall with its light notes due to the reduction to drinking strength. Typical LTR sweetness meets very subtle HTR notes. Doesn't pick me up enough in direct comparison.”

“#4219 19.08.2023 we had our yearly meeting among old friends. When we do this once a year its without partners, cellphones and other gadgets. Just some nice rums, a piece of paper and a pen and most fun of all, a blind tasting. The theme of 2023 was Caroni and we had a great time and spend no less then 10 hours talking and tasting. This one was not my favourite it was not that well balanced. Lightly fruity with a leather note. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some nougat and very light chocolate.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: Very diluted, few Caroni notes, quaffable, little complexity, tastes almost like a Spaniard.”
