How does this rum taste?
Fans of Caroni praise this release for its classic dirty, tarry profile balanced by surprising fruitiness and elegance. Mango, burnt sugar, and leather mingle with signature rubber and varnish on the nose, while the palate offers a sophisticated mix of intense flavor and a touch of dryness. Many describe it as smoother and more approachable than heavier Caronis, making it popular for slow sipping and sharing among enthusiasts. Worth exploring for anyone curious about legendary Caroni character with a lighter touch.

Perfect nose! Very good, balanced and yet complex Caroni. Top!
I'm missing a few percentages, but it's a bit rounder and not as bitter as the 36th and 37th releases.
1994 Velier Caronis are simply a case of their own, extremely dirty and intense. Lots of menthol compared to other vintages. I like younger bottlings, like this one, better. They seem rounder. However, this bottling lacks a few more turns for a better rating, and the finish is a little bitter.
Rather balanced Caroni with a great nose that has lots of fruit, caramel, nice roasted notes and (by tropical Caroni standards) rather restrained wood maturity with nice oak notes and relatively little bitterness / menthol notes. Dirt is there, but the fruit has plenty of room. I really like the nose, but a few percent more on the palate could definitely help.
