    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Velier Caroni for its vivid menthol freshness wrapped in tar, rubber and nougat, opening toward mango-tropical fruit and caramel. Distilled 2000, tropically matured 20 years and bottled at 64.3% HTR, it’s complex yet surprisingly tame when rested. Reviewers suggest a little time or a few drops of water; some pair it with cigars. A popular pick on RumX with 51 reviews and limited to 1251 bottles.

    On the nose, freshness and menthol. Nice dirty caroni notes, nougat and then very fruity, mango and passion fruit. The long time in the barrel shows mainly through various spices.In the mouth a lot of nougat and wood. The finish is surprisingly short.Despite the pronounced Caroni notes and the 64% rather tame. Nougat, lots of menthol and lots of fruit.

    Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: A striking fruitiness awaits us on the nose, which increasingly combines with Caroni-typical notes of rubber, tar and some caramel. On the palate, the aforementioned aromas are paired with a rich menthol note, the high alcohol content also comes into play and a little oxidation is recommended. Overall at a very high Caroni level, which promises exquisite quality (the tropically aged bottlings are in a league of their own). From the 2000 vintage, which is also very convincing in terms of quality, this is one of the weaker bottlings in relative terms, which is due to the alcohol not being fully integrated. Nevertheless, anyone who finds their way to Caroni with such bottlings is on an enviably high-quality path.

    Spirits Museum Tasting 29th of March 2025. Un nez complexe marqué par un côté végétal et frais. De la crème pâtissière, du goudron et du caoutchouc. Les fruits tropicaux avec de la mangue juteuse ne sont pas loin mais restent au second plan. En bouche aussi cette fraîcheur avec de la menthe assez pure se profile en avant plan. Les fruits tropicaux (mangue), un bois discret et un léger piquant et des notes d’atelier mécanique forment un second plan complexe. La finale est longue, équilibrée et sur la fraîcheur.

    Spontaneously tried two randomly selected Caronis on the terrace with Jarek while swapping samples. In the duel were the RX6598 and the RX7335. Without question, these are two top bottlings. However, I liked the 2000 bottling a little better than the 1996, as it was fruitier and fresher without skimping on the "dirty" Caroni.
