    "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."

    "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."
