“Der Rum hätte auch blind die beiden anderen Caroni des Flights ausgeknockt. Unangefochtener Nasen-und-Gaumen-Schwergewichtsmeister. So muss ein Caroni sein!”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Intensiver HTR, Holz, Gewürze, Tabak und Menthol flankieren das typische Teer, Gummi und Benzinaromen-Profil der Heavy Trinidad Rums. Sehr guter Vertreter des 1998er Caroni-Vintages.”

“A Caroni representing the distillery's heavy style. The nose is very intense at first, with notes of oil, smoke and spices, then gains in subtlety after aeration with some fruity notes, caramel and hazelnut. The attack on the palate is powerful, heavy and very warm, with notes of tar and rubber. The smoky, spicy side is as present as ever, with a hint of leather and bitterness. Still, red fruits and citrus fruits lurk in ambush, making it easier to drink. The finish is long, dark, smoky and woody, with tannins drying out the palate. A hint of mango also makes itself felt. An unpolished, complex Caroni that reveals much more after aeration.”
