    "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."

    "Well add a lot of water and that's how you destroy a Caroni. Too far watered Dow in my mind so very light in all the flavours."
