"A sample tasted after the Caroni Velier 1983 52%. Totally different. Thanks Thomas for the sample. Here's a "real" Caroni as you'd expect, even stronger than expected. A powerful nose of incense, machine shop, fruit and cold ash. Intense and concentrated on the palate, with fruit above all and a finish dominated by noble bitterness. A Caroni for lovers of extreme rums. Tasted again with oxidation, it's even better, more mysterious. The empty glass tells a whole story about an old church with a tropical fruit market in front. Fascinating!"

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: For me, this falls somewhat short of the first employees, as Sarge & Co. are much more convincing. But mind you, we are talking about criticism at the highest level. The rating remains the same - undoubtedly a very good rum, but even that is clearly no longer enough for the top league among the Velier Caronis. The 1998 Vintage is in the extended top circle."

"Very good representative of the 1998 vintage. But a bit too alcoholic for a top rating."

"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."
