„Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Das Alter macht sich in recht herb-bitteren Noten erkennbar, die den Rum aber trotzdem nicht überlagern. Sehr gut, reicht aber nicht für die absolute Spitzenklasse aus 1996.“

„Un Caroni plus subtil avec le vieillissement entre Trinidad et Guyana. Cette influence se retrouve au nez, avec d’un côté les notes de goudron et de caoutchouc, de boisé et de cuir, puis les notes sombres et plus fruitées de l’autre. L’ensemble est homogène et équilibré. Le palais oscille entre la puissance de Caroni (hydrocarbures, caoutchouc, notes fumées) et la douceur de Guyana (chocolat, café, fruits tropicaux), offrant un profil complexe et délicat, étonnamment gourmand et sucré après aération. La finale est plus subtile et mince qu’à l’accoutumé chez Caroni, le profil sombre des rhums de Guyana prenant le dessus ici. Un Caroni plutôt atypique de par son vieillissement, mais un hybride tout en finesse qui se veut complexe et gourmand.“

„I let this one rest for an hour before sampling it. All classic Caroni are present in the nose with a touch of lovely sweetness. I could smell it for hours. I’m the mouth the rum has similar notes with a touch of chocolate added.“

„Sehr milder Vertreter. Caroni Noten im Hintergrund aber präsent, dafür Frucht und Creme Brûlée. Insgesamt aber irgendwie enttäuschend“

„Nose under my expectations. Interesting but flattish. Hints of caramel, of hydrocarbures, Caroni. Overwhelming attack - very strong but well integrated and balanced. Plays a line with bitterness but remains perfect. Quite a play. Very long finale, fresher, stays with you…“

„Nez après un petit quart d'heure de repos très agréable. Me fait penser à la crème brûlée et donne envie d'y aller. En bouche les mêmes notes vanillées de crème brûlée. Amertume juste bien à mon goût. Finale très longue et agréable, plus fraîche et sur le fruit. Très différent des marqueurs caroni que je trouve habituellement.“
