    How does this rum taste?

    Dense tar and roasted wood immediately set the tone for this 24-year-old Caroni, with aromatic vanilla and subtle cherry providing a distinct counterpoint. On the palate, you’ll find a balance of bitter wood, anise, and caramel beneath the intense cask strength. For fans of complex, old-school Trinidad rums, this limited release from Velier is a singular opportunity worth exploring.

    #4221 19.08.2023 we had our yearly meeting among old friends. When we do this once a year its without partners, cellphones and other gadgets. Just some nice rums, a piece of paper and a pen and most fun of all, a blind tasting. The theme of 2023 was Caroni and we had a great time and spend no less then 10 hours talking and tasting. Another Hammer on the table and the last one of the batch. Light on the Caroni notes but a very well balanced profile. Medium fruity with nice spices and roasted wood notes balancing on burnt wood notes. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some chocolate and light caramel notes.

    Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Inspiring color - deepest mahogany with great gold reflections in the glass. In fact, just looking into the tasting glass is fun. On the palate, pronounced tar and petrol notes. In addition, fine wood, subtle berry aromas and dark spices. On the palate, there is a rich HTR profile, pronounced wood notes that transition into bitterness, showing hints of dark chocolate and coffee. Again, slight hints of tropical fruit, though much less pronounced than the second 1984 release.

    Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: Sehr komplex! Bitternoten, Menthol, dreckige Noten, mittellanger Abgang.

    Very interesting Caroni. But too much wood influence and too bitter for me.
