"Zusammen spontan mit Jarek beim Sampletausch zwei wahllos ausgesuchte Caronis auf der Terasse probiert. Im Duell waren der RX6598 und der RX7335. Ohne Frage alles zwei Topp-Abfüllungen. Mir hat aber die 2000er Abfüllung ein wenig besser gefallen als die 1996er, da dieser fruchtiger und frischer gewirkt hat ohne an den "dreckigen" Caroni zu sparen."
"Very elegant nose. On the palate great roasted and chocolate notes."
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: The age makes itself recognizable in quite tart-bitter notes, which nevertheless do not overpower the rum. Very good, but not enough for the absolute top class from 1996."
"Schön röstige Noten, Vanille, Karamell, Teer, Backgewürz und etwas Frucht (Banane, Bratapfel und eine dunkle Fruchtigkeit) an der Nase. Sehr schön. Top Nase 👃 Am Gaumen kommen dann schöne dunkle Schokolade aber auch recht viel Holz dazu. Vom Gefühl her, hätte der glaube ich gut 1-2 Jahre früher abgefüllt werden können."
