Everything I love in a rum! I can't imagine a world without Caroni!I dread to think how good the vintages from the 80s must be! I know Velier is trying to reconstruct the still by interviewing everyone who had worked at the distillery.

This one beats both the 12 and 15 year versions by far. A true Caroni from the nose to the finish. The alcohol is almost too dominant so I added a few drops of water which also released a lot of extra flavours after resting for 15 minutes. The nose is typical Caroni with rubber, polish and fruits mixed with vanilla. The palate continues with the rubber and clearly charred barrel as well as fruit and spices. The finish is long and also has the rubber and burnt/charred barrel to it.

A classic Caroni with lots of orange peel. Not as ripe and full-bodied as some other Velier, the body is somewhat leaner and reminds me of a good Agricole. With Caroni vibe mind you.a rum that is really fun, glass for glass.

Un Caroni au profil très séduisant. Le nez, d’abord assez doux, laisse profiler les notes de vanille, de fruits secs, de menthol, de poivre et un boisé délicat. Par la suite, le nez laisse entrevoir les arômes empyreumatiques typiques, avec les notes de fumé, de caoutchouc, de goudron ainsi que le cuir et le tabac. Une brise florale et des zestes d’orange viennent effleurer les narines au fur et à mesure que le rhum s’aère. Un nez des plus avenants et variés parmi les caronis. En bouche, le rhum est au tout début très délicat, puis viennent les notes crasseuses avec le goudron, le caoutchouc, du fumé, des noisettes grillées, des épices et un boisé brûlé très perceptible. Le tabac et le cuir confirment la tendance au palais, tandis que les fruits secs et les fruits rouges tentent de s’immiscer dans le décor. Malgré les 55 degrés assez faibles pour un Caroni, le profil est très avenant, sale, expressif et élégant. La finale, très longue, revient sur le côté sale de Caroni, avec beaucoup de notes empyreumatiques (sensation de brûlé, caoutchouc, goudron) des épices, du bois, des noisettes grillées et une amertume qui vient clouer le spectacle gustatif. Un très bon représentant de la distillerie disparu, qui peut encore se trouver malgré la montée de la spéculation.

Le meilleur de la série Extra Strong pour moi, des belles notes empyreumatiques typiques de Caroni, mais aussi les fruits à coques torréfiés, le tabac et le chocolat noir. Une parfaite intégration de l’alcool et une magnifique longueur.

Much better than the 15 years. The flavors are much more pronounced in nose and mouth. Still a touch on the light side but everything that I love about Caroni can be found in this rum.

I found this caroni top in a comparative tasting of the classic velier caroni series. With the 21 they are of an admirable complexity!

La première fois que j’ai goûté ce rhum à l’aveugle je n’avais pas reconnu Caroni, il n’avait pas assez d’oxydation pour révéler tout son potentiel. Un nez complexe avec du goudron, du fumé et des fruits rouges. Une bouche avec une palette aromatique très large et très profonde. Une finale comme on l’attend chez Caroni, infinie et complexe.

Angenehm würzig und ledrig in der Nase. Säuerliche, geschwefelte Frucht, wie getrockneter Aprikose. Tabak und Vanille und auch rauchig. Liebstöckel und eine leichte Honig-Süße. Kräftig würzig-süß am Gaumen. Die Süße erinnert mich an Marzipan. Jetzt kommen auch die leicht dreckigen Aromen durch. Gummi und Plastik, aber umgeben von Liebstöckel und Vanille. Säuerliche Frucht vlt. Johannisbeere. Deutlich mehr Körper und Menge Caroni als der 12 jährige Bruder.

Wenn man ein Auto mit Orangenextrakt auf einer frisch geteerten Straße poliert dürfte es so riechen und natürlich macht das in einem Lack und Leder Outfit. Im Geschmack dann der verschüttete Espresso auf der Motorhaube auf der vorher die Zigarette ausgedrückt wurde, was sich im Abgang im Grunde im Abgang fortsetzt.

In der Nase schön warm und Rund. Schön fruchtig mit frischen und getrockneten Früchten. Außerdem süßliche Aromen mit Karamell, Honig und Vanille. Selbstverständlich ist auch der Brennereicharakter mit Teer, Kerosin, Maschinenöl, Rauch und Politur vertreten. Alles ist gut ausgewogen, nichts sticht raus. Es gibt spektakulärere Caronis, klar. Trotzdem war diese Abfüllung seit geraumer Zeit ein PLV kracher und nicht umsonst ein Klassiker

Delivered on all the things I expect from a Caroni: Tar, diesel and earthy tones, but at the same time well rounded. Alcohol is well integrated.
