How does this rum taste?
World-class, ultra-concentrated Caroni power
If you already love heavy Caroni (e.g. Fire, Paradise 1998), this single cask cranks up concentration and balance even further, giving you that ‘you need to try before you die’ experience.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike oily, industrial, petrol-like notes and prefer light, easy-sipping sweet rums.

Shamelessly finished half bottle at Auld Alliance, superb rum with strong body and superb expressions, fruity, bright and powerful, a bit wood added to increase the complexity Caroni Velier single casks expressions are interesting, they are not like those dark side Caronis, they are just fantastic rum Similar rums include Caroni “Fire”, Caroni Paradise 1998(if I am not wrong)

Nose Wood, spice, roasted, plum, glue, light caramel, citrus, light medicinal note. Palate Oily, complex, wood, roasted, chocolate, citrus, banana, varnish, light mint.
