Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Formidabler 96er Caroni mit der typischen schweren Süsse, satten dreckigen Teernoten, Holz, Menthol und einer guten Spur Schokolade. Was mich am meisten fasziniert ist, wie klar hier bei aller Vergleichbarkeit die Unterschiede zwischen Trinidad und Guyana Stock zum Tragen kommen - die Trinidad-Fässer bringen einen pointierten adstringierenden Charakter ein, der im ersten Moment schnell überfordernd wirken kann, de facto aber eine gänzlich andere Facette der 96er Caronis aufscheinen lässt und ein Feuerwerk an Aromatik eröffnet. Beeindruckend - die Employees-Serie lässt hier die erste Geige aufspielen. Ein Hochgenuss, jedes Mal aufs Neue.
Wonderfully complex Caroni!
Crazy Employee. Typical Caroni, this rum has everything you are looking for. Tar, rubber, wood and menthol, not to mention fruit. The bottling is mega complex and you need time to taste it.
Very lovely Caroni 🤤 If you like your tongue being run over by a road roller full of dirty tar and a hint burnt rubber, you will love this monster.
