How does this rum taste?

The Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR is understated elegance. Lacking traditional Caroni features, it balances fruitiness with caramel hints. The dominant Paxarette sweetness is tempered by bold oak influences, notes of vanilla, pepper, dark chocolate, and coffee. A distinctive yet slightly lighter Caroni experience.

“#4220 19.08.2023 we had our yearly meeting among old friends. When we do this once a year its without partners, cellphones and other gadgets. Just some nice rums, a piece of paper and a pen and most fun of all, a blind tasting. The theme of 2023 was Caroni and we had a great time and spend no less then 10 hours talking and tasting. Now this is a nice rum. It doesn't have all the Caroni notes but it's really well balanced. Medium fruity with a nice touch of caramel. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some chocolate and a light medicinal note.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: Alkoholische Note, kurzer Abgang, nicht viel typische Caroni-Noten, fehlt etwas Komplexität.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: An der Nase zunächst etwas unspektakulär - zwar sind herbe und durchaus auch ein paar dreckige HTR-typische Noten zu erkennen, insbesondere ist hier aber die schwere Süsse von Paxarette in Kombination mit dem Fass präsent. Am Gaumen erneut schöne Eichenholz-Einflüsse mit vanilliger Karamellsüsse, herben Würzaromen von Pfeffer, dunkler Schokolade und etwas Kaffee, ehe sich im Hintergrund auch wieder die Teerassoziationen zeigen. Ein interessanter HTR, der definitiv nicht zur Spitzenklasse des Marques gehört, aber dennoch eine interessante Abfüllung hervorbringt. Insgesamt wirkt das 1985er Batch etwas trockener als das aus 1982.”
