“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: What a nose! In a blind comparison with the other 85s, the complex aromatic structure also convinces on the palate, a truly impressive release. Excellent.”

“Tasting of Caronis Velier 1985. A lively, powerful nose, a mechanical workshop with diesel and tar. Lots of fruit that is not overpowered by empyreumatic notes. Baked apples and a hint of pastry. An absolutely splendid nose! Massive fruit first, then mechanical workshop notes, then vegetal notes. An incredibly complex palate that goes through several stages. Then another pastry side, Foursquare. The finish is long, complex and elegant. The aromas disappear slowly and harmoniously. Red fruits (black cherries and blackberries) make their appearance. A hint of smoke also appears in the empty glass. A rum of remarkable complexity and depth, and by far the best of the Caronis 1985 series.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: complex, menthol, already clearly alcohol, but compared to the others an excellent overall package.”
