Velier Caroni Blended Trinidad Rum 1993
Highly praised Velier Caroni with a round, approachable profile: classic tar and wood, gentle sweetness and floral/roasted notes that make this a relaxed way into the Caroni style.
Curious explorers who want to understand Caroni’s tarry-woody style in a softer, sweeter, lower-ABV format rather than jumping straight into the heavy-hitting cask strength bottlings.

Soft-focus Caroni with classic tar

After tasting the Old Legend, another strongly diluted Caroni from Velier. Well, another convincing rum with a very round profile. Nose is definitely more complex and has more depth than the 1985 but the palate finish is shorter. Two really good rums however 😊
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: on the nose and palate hazelnut, very diluted, almost like a Spaniard, but nice and round.
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Positive surprise - has virtually nothing in common with the other 1993 Caroni releases. Pleasant to drink, nice sweetness, only subtle bitter notes. If one is looking for proof that hardly anything beats the Velier Caroni selection, then for the Vintage 1993 here is a prime specimen.
