How does this rum taste?
The 3rd Employees Ganesh „Buju“ Ramgobie is a distinguished Trinidadian rum from the Caroni distillery, selected and bottled by Velier. Distilled in 1998 from molasses and aged for 22 years, this limited release presents a robust 67% ABV. It offers pronounced notes of rubber and wood, complemented by banana and solvent aromas. The taste reveals a strong woody and tarry profile, enhanced by vanilla and leather undertones. Users appreciate its Caroni essence, complex flavor, and well-crafted maturation, though some mention the high alcohol presence and lack of rounded complexity. Esteemed for its balance of classic and "dirty" Caroni notes, it stands out as a cherished collector’s item.

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.
Another nice release with all the lovely Caroni flavours from opening the bottle.The roasted note on this one is really nice. Lightly fruity with leather and vanilla in the back.Love it :-)
This Caroni has almost a perfect balance between round and dirty notes. It is very complex and expressive. An impressive release 🤩 Probably one of the best I have ever tasted from 1998 vintage. Kudos to Velier 💥
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.
