How does this rum taste?
The Heavy Trinidad Rum (Paul Ullrich) HTR, a vibrant Caroni release from Velier, distilled in 2000 and aged 15 years, exemplifies HTR's hallmark intensity. This cask strength rum boasts a substantial 70.3% ABV. Aromas of tar, grappa, and pineapple precede a palate with pronounced tar, alcohol, and rubber notes, finishing with a lingering wood and caramel presence. Limited to 214 bottles, it's celebrated for its unique profile and sweet undercurrent amidst potent alcoholic notes. Notably for its rich tar characteristic, it’s considered a must-try among rum aficionados. The rum’s character touches on elements of rubber and apple flavor within its bold framework, delivering a distinct experience typical of Caroni productions.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: on the one hand, still rather wild, which is due to the alcohol, but also to the comparatively young age; on the other hand, already with a pronounced sweetness that accompanies the tar and motor oil notes throughout. It is precisely this combination that makes the rum extremely appealing and puts it in the top tier of 2000s releases.
Sehr schöne Süße am Gaumen.
14.03.2020 Had a nice afternoon and evening with friends. Notes. Light to medium dark. Nose: wood, roasted, citrus, dried fruit, tar, light rubber. Palate: oily, wood, roasted, chocolate, rubber, tar, caramel, orange. Finish: very long, wood, dried fruit, caramel, light rubber.
A rum tasted in a restaurant, the bottle well opened. A nose of grappa, strong in alcohol, vegetal, like a reminiscence of rhum agricole, rare at Caroni. On the palate, the alcohol hits hard and the workshop notes are present alongside tropical fruits with a clear smoky edge. My favorite Caroni of the evening, a little strong in alcohol, but otherwise delicious. The empty glass reveals other vegetal and even floral aromas. A fresh, youthful Caroni, but the alcohol is a little too present.
