"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!"
"Exceptionally good Caroni. Tar, rubber as it should be. There is also mint and a pleasant fruitiness. Essence of the Caroni profile. Nothing extreme but absolutely delicious. Compared to the 15, dirtier and also more complex."
