How does this rum taste?
- Distinctive industrial profile
- Complex flavor depth
- Good entry-level Caroni
The '100% Trinidad Rum 12 HTR' by Velier is a noteworthy expression from the now-closed Caroni distillery. Distilled in 2000 and aged for 12 years, this rum showcases classic Caroni traits, such as rubber, leather, and tar, complemented by notes of vanilla and wood. It offers a distinctive industrial character, reminiscent of mechanical workshops and burnt rubber, which some may find unique and appealing. A moderate alcoholic strength of 50% ABV marries well with its intense flavors, providing an experience that's rich and complex but not overwhelming. Although it lacks some depth compared to older siblings, it remains a respected entry within the Caroni lineup. Given its limited availability, it's a sought-after choice for rum enthusiasts.

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Nice entry rum into the Caroni world. Rubber and tar meets wood - not much more, but also not a bit less."

"Nice entry-level Caroni. The typical Caroni notes can also be found here: tar, rubber and diesel. For me, much better than the 15 from this series. Doesn't go to extremes and the ABV is too low for my taste."

"Caroni essence! With his young age he brings exactly what makes Caroni: dirt, gasoline and gruffness. Very special, but awesome!"
