How does this rum taste?
The Heavy Trinidad Rum HTR, distilled at the Caroni distillery in 1984 and bottled by Velier, is a compelling limited edition rum with just 550 bottles available. Aged for 22 years in cask, it is known for its complex aroma, featuring bold notes of tar, tropical fruits, and cola, creating a unique olfactory experience. The high ABV of 54.6% and cask strength bottling highlight its powerful, gritty profile on the palate with predominant flavors of tar, minerals, rubber, and dark chocolate. Users particularly appreciate its balance of tropical sweetness and tar-like bitterness, though some note its oak dominance might not appeal to everyone. Overall, the Heavy Trinidad Rum stands out as a notable Caroni release, offering a distinctive tasting adventure.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: das Cola-Monster! Sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen deutliche Cola-Noten. Dazu noch die typische Caroni-DNA. Gefällt mir ausgezeichnet!
Per fortuna ho un campione di riserva ed una bottiglia intera, ma forse quella non la aprirò mai, o forse con il tempo cambierò idea, comunque era meglio quando costavano il giusto, ai giorni d’oggi e’ troppo, ma troppo davvero. Al naso e’ molto complesso, profumato e tanto equilibrato. Al bicchiere ha un bel colore ed e’ molto viscoso. La gradazione non eccessiva lo aiuta molto, credo che sia perfetta per la complessità del prodotto poiché l’invecchiamento la fa abbastanza da padrone. Molte note al naso sono quelle della distilleria con dei sentori che in altre bevute non ho riscontrato. Al palato e’ molto piacevole con tutte le note della distilleria con invecchiamento tropicale, con la differenza di note un po’ diverse, diciamo dolciastre ed acide insieme. Con il tempo si apre sia al naso ed al palato con qualche nota erbacea ed il classico catramato che le contraddistingue. Piccola nota e’ il tannino, si sente e pure abbastanza incisivo, l’invecchiamento si sente tutto, a chi piace diciamo che va bene, mentre se non piace potrebbe disturbare abbastanza. Convlusione: tipico dei primi rilasci di queste serie, o li ami o li odi. A mio parere e’ molto complesso e bilanciato e andrebbe gustato con calma e tempo e magari in più occasioni. La nota dolce/acida per me gli da un tocco diverso!
Wow! In der Nase extreme Fritz-Cola-Assoziationen. Am Gaumen mit viel Power und Komplexität. Ausgezeichneter Caroni!
Sehr schöner Caroni. Mit Typisch dreckigen Caroni Noten, Zitrusnoten und einer wirklich abgefahrenen Fever Tree Cola Note🥰
