    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the classic Caroni DNA here—rubber, tar, and workshop notes wrapped in wood and vanilla. Hints of pear and dried fruit keep it fresh. At 50%, it’s approachable yet intense, with a dry, medium-long finish. Often enjoyed neat after a rest or with a splash of water; some even mix daiquiris or a Sazerac. A popular Velier Caroni with 171 reviews, this limited release is a confident pick.

    Très bon caroni! Le plus jeune de la série velier mais il n'a pas à rougir devant c'est 3 frères. Il porte fièrement les couleurs de la distillerie. Si tu n'aime pas ce rum c'est que tu n'aime pas caroni selon moi

    An old residual sample, but the nose is promising. Pure Caroni, this rum takes no prisoners despite the 50%. Very fresh, plenty of dirty workshop and fruitiness. Then it cleans up in the mouth! Have I been sucking on the gas can? With plenty of caramel. It becomes tame on the finish. The essence of Caroni. Awesome!

    Un super Caroni. Douceur et fraîcheur. Dommage que les prix aient décollé.

    Tohle je caroni dle mého gusta. Guma, dehat, dřevo. Intenzivní technický nos, projdeme se dědovou dílnou. Zastavíme se, napijeme se, a do té dilny se na dlouho vrátíme. Mám tyhle technické caroni moc rád, v tomto případě lahev, která je stále celkem dostupná. Vynikající.
