    Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Very aromatic and intense, the high alcohol adds punch but also expressiveness. Lots of vanilla melt on the palate and finish. Excellent 1996 Caroni, although not quite at the top of the vintage.

    1996 Veliers are always a guarantee for good caronis, and this is no exception. Trepasser comes along quite brute. Apart from the typical rubber tar notes, there is some vanilla and fruit. Oxidation helps this rum extremely.

    Ultra expressive rum with typical Caroni profile from 1996 vintage. Perfect balance between round and dirty notes with some candied tropical fruits. Alcohol integration is perfect. An absolute monster and my favorite rum of all time together with its brother 1992 FP 💘

    In the glass it takes times an eternity, two hours of ventilation is not wrong there.A wonderful nose, beautiful dried fruit. The classic Caroni vibe (burnt tar, rubber) is not quite as pronounced and unexpectedly (70%) the nose is somewhat restrained.In the mouth then brutally the fist, but very, very good. In the finish then still spoils the full load of spices.Beautiful Caroni to enjoy and then freshen up.
