„A sample tasted after the Caroni Velier 1983 52%. Totally different.Thanks Thomas for the sample.This is a "real" Caroni as expected, even stronger than expected.A powerful nose with incense, machine shop, fruit and cold ash.An intense and concentrated palate with mostly fruit and a finish dominated by a noble bitterness.A Caroni for extreme rum lovers.The empty glass tells a whole story of an old church with a tropical fruit market in front. Fascinating!“

„Gemeinsam mit Leo Tomczak auf dem 11. GRF verkostet. Klare Angelegenheiten, ein sehr guter Rum mit allem, was einen Caroni ausmacht, fand ihn super ausgewogen. Der parallel verkostete Rum Nation Caroni 1998 23y (RX11047) hatte keine Chance.“

„Ich hatte gestern die einmalige Gelegenheit diesen Rum mit anderen 98er, unter anderem den Paradise #2 zu vergleichen. Im Vergleich zu dem Paradise ist dieser ganz anders, sehr brachial mit hohem Alkoholgehalt der nicht perfekt eingebunden ist, wird mit der Zeit milder, schöne Menthol-Noten, die an EMB95 erinnern!“

„Farbe: Kastanie Geruch: Riecht fruchtig nach Pflaume in Madeira, Rosinen und Schokolade. Dabei alkoholisch und cremig. Geschmack: Süß im Mund, dabei fruchtig und alkoholisch scharf mit Aromen von Kümmel und Anis. Beim Schlucken extrem kräftig, intensiv und vollmundig. Super lecker, komplex, würzig, Rum-Trauben-Nuss Schokolade, Fudge und Toffee. Abgang: Lang Wärmt von tief innen. Dabei leicht bitter, trocken, holzig mit Ingwer. 90 Punkte“

„I was a bit disappointed when I first tried it... I made a mistake. I've to admit it. This rum needs time, a lot of time to breath and open up and also to make you travel through different place Caroni is known for, dirty oil, gaz, but also fruity, with sweet tropical stewed fruits, generous cake... Take this Caroni as a trip in the distillery, take your time don't rush, smell it and drink slow, you will be highly rewarded. Now my bottle is half empty, opened for months and the rum became really stellar !!!“

„Very nice. Caroni expressivity in the nose. Tar, dried fruits, a bit of smoke. Strong attack, but still engaging. Very long finale. In the end, great, but a tad below other employees that I have tried at this point 😉“
