    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Velier-bottled 1992 Caroni for its concentrated Caroni essence—tar and rubber layered with tropical fruit, leather and oak, lifted by mint. At 60.21% cask strength and 20 years old, it’s heavy yet remarkably balanced with alcohol beautifully integrated. The finish is very long and slightly dry. With 66 community reviews and only 1664 bottles, it’s a popular, confidence‑inspiring choice.

    Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Brings the whole package - elegant sweetness, dirty notes, spice, wood...sensational depth. For me, one of the best representatives ever from the legendary distillery. Caroni Champions League.

    The nose is already incredibly deep and complex. Rubber, varnish, intense wood and a light mint. One finds here everything one expects from Caroni. Heavenly. On the palate you find a real Caroni concentrate. Spice, rubber, wood, tropical fruit are perfectly melded together by the long, tropical aging. Absolute Caroni Champions League!

    A Caroni nose but with lots of fruit (apple, acerola, pear), tropical fruit and a Demerara side with old leather, old varnished wood and smoke. Silky, frosty entry, then fruit invades the palate. An aromatic bomb. Ripe tropical fruit, but also pear and apricot, menthol and herbs. Hints of machine shop are present, but in the background. There's an incredible freshness to this rum, reminiscent of frosted mandarin oranges. A long, majestic, rich and coherent finish (the kind of rum you can still smell when you wake up in the morning). A magnificent rum that lives up to its reputation, balanced in flavor and better than its little 55% brother.

    Great nose! Complex on the palate, somewhat typical dirty Caronino notes, which are very well integrated! Long finish! Fantastic! Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: insane complexity, power, must be a 92, long finish. For me, the Caroni Champions League!
