“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Tropical fruits, bitter notes of wood and dark spices, but also some subtle sweetness. Not a high-flyer Caroni, but still a very good rum.”

“Wonderfully set and perfectly matured 98 Caroni. The barrel aging has done a really good job here, without displacing the typical Caroni flavor. This interaction makes it for me an absolute exception, 98 at its best! Very smooth, very tasty, very cool! It could be a little more complex, but that's complaining at a very high level.”
