"Caronis Velier 1985 tasting. A nose of caramel, rubber and tar with dark, sweet flavors, tropical fruit, baked banana and baked apple. The first sensation is a little acqueous and one senses dilution. But everything returns to normal fairly quickly as the mouth fills with slightly bitter aromas of bicycle tires, fruit and pastries. Elegant yet punchy. The finish is not so long (here too, the reduction makes itself felt) for a Caroni, but once again on elegance. Most of the aromas disappear fairly quickly, but the caramel and bicycle tire remain almost indefinitely. The empty glass is superb, further proof of the wrong side of the reduction. This rum was intended to be bottled at Caroni in bottles stamped "Legend 2000"."

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: again clearly nut on the nose, a bit thin on the palate, short finish."

"A true legend fully aged when the distillery was active. A surprsing rum with a sweet profile (coconut, pastries, molasses, caramel, vanilla). Despite a significant reduction, it is quite expressive. Very nice rum !"
