Velier Caroni Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR 1985
Highly praised Velier Caroni: powerful yet rounded, with sweet tar, oak, vanilla and caramel. Less hardcore Caroni funk, but very drinkable and characterful for cask strength.
Seasoned Caroni fans and cask-strength lovers who enjoy tarry, woody notes wrapped in vanilla-caramel sweetness rather than maximum dirty-funk intensity.

How does this rum taste?
Rounded, sweeter take on heavy Caroni
If you like classic Caroni but want a rounder, sweeter, still punchy version, this 1985 Velier batch hits that mark without going into the distillery’s most extreme territory.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers expecting ultra-greasy, full-on dirty Caroni with a very long finish.

Sehr spannender Caroni, hier recht unterbewertet.
#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.
