    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this classic Caroni for its unmistakable tar-and-rubber profile balanced by dried fruit and vanilla. Expect woody smoke, leather and spice with a long, warming finish; the 55% ABV is widely called well integrated. Many enjoy it neat, while a short rest or a few drops of water unlock extra depth. Highly rated by over 193 reviewers, this popular release is a confident pick for Caroni fans.

    Nice representative of dirty 1998 Caronis at a good PLV. Of course, it cannot compete with high-end Caronis, but it is still convincing. Typical Caroni with tar, menthol, rubber and some diesel.

    Wonderful Caroni with (still) very good value for money.

    Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: A more than solid standard. Great aromatics, the tropical aging comes into its own and adds depth - in the spectrum of Velier Caronis this only reaches the lower midfield, but across all Caronis to be found in the extended top group.

    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.
