Velier Caroni 33th Release High Proof Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR 1998
Highly praised Velier Caroni: classic 1998 dirty-garage profile, balanced by caramel sweetness, dried fruits and well-integrated 55% ABV. Elegant, powerful and dangerously easy to drink.
Fans of classic Caroni who want the dirty tar–rubber style wrapped in caramel sweetness, dried fruits and moderate 55% ABV rather than punishing cask strength.

How does this rum taste?
Elegant, dirty-fruity Caroni classic
If you already enjoy Caroni or heavy, characterful rums, this is a sweet-leaning, slightly softer take that keeps all the dirt and depth without the brutal ABV hit.

Very well-balanced. Nice complexity. Very good. A real treat. 😍😍😍
Excellent, very drinkable Caroni. A little more focus on dried fruit, which I personally like very much. Enough burning tires. Anyone else have a bottle?
RumXmas 24/24 From the start it’s clear that it’s Caroni territory today. Not even gonna bother to try and define a specific bottle and just enjoy it. All components are present in great harmony. Alcohol is very well integrated. It has to be said that it’s “only 55%” which is relatively modest in Caroni terms. Two years ago I tasted this for the first time and scored it 9.2. I can still understand why. I’ve had others that I’ve rated higher. But that’s not what this is about today. I’ll leave the mark how it was. I feel it still deserves it. And it’s not like I’m in the mood to compare it to something else directly right now. Much gratitude to the RumX team for the overall quality of the Advent Calendar. It’s beyond 👏
RumX Advent Calendar 2024 Day 24 You guys are crazy what you put in there at the end 😅 A really great 98, so elegant, almost easy sipping (in a very positive way) but at a very high level without losing complexity.
