Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Round 98 Caroni with pleasant sweetness and thanks to the somewhat lower alcohol strength almost an easy sipping rum - as far as one can speak of it with Caroni. In direct comparison with the other Velier Caroni releases in the lower midfield on the way, which is still enough for a very good rating without effort - and once again highlights the almost unique quality of these rums.
Goûté au restaurant et la bouteille est bien entamée. Un très beau nez où les fruits tropicaux viennent en premier. Avec aussi un nez de bourbon, de cuir et de sucre brun avec un petit peu de goudron. En bouche ce sont les fruits qui explosent avec l’alcool en soutient. Presque pas de notes sales en bouche, étonnant ! La finale est longue avec un peu d’amertume, toujours beaucoup de fruits et un fumé persistant. Le verre vide offre beaucoup de fruits avec quelques notes d’atelier mécanique. Edit: regoûté à l’aveugle dans le calendrier de l’Avent RumX, jour 24 et même si je ne l’ai pas reconnu, je confirme ma note.
This Caroni has a quite classic profile from 1998 vintage with famous garage notes, dried fruits and wood on the nose. But, it offers some surprising salty notes on the palate. A really good surprise !
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?
