How does this rum taste?
Loved for its balanced, archetypal Caroni character at an accessible 55%, this 18‑year Trinidad rum (Velier, 1994) delivers tar, rubber and leather wrapped in roasted cocoa, coffee and spice. Reviewers highlight well‑integrated alcohol, hints of caramel, dried fruit and menthol, and a warm, lingering finish. A rising community favorite with 48 reviews; some note a slightly watery opening or less complexity than full proof, yet overall richly satisfying neat.

Ein leichter und doch intensiver Caroni mit genau den typischen Aromen, die ich am Caroni so mag… Das niedrige Alkoholvolumen steht im gut; so lässt er sich relativ entspannt genießen, ohne Einbußen am Geschmackserlebnis hinnehmen zu müssen. Erstklassig
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Close to Full Proof, hardly less exquisite. Typical 1994 Caroni with lots of aromatic punch full of wood, spice, tar, rubber and subtle fruit - great complexity and inspiring quality.
Des marqueurs d’atelier mécanique avec un côté givré, du jus de pomme, de l’ananas et des fruits tropicaux. La bouche est légèrement acqueuse au début, puis tout s’ouvre : atelier mécanique, jus de pomme, fruits tropicaux. La finale est longue mais plus courte qu’attendue avec une amertume noble qui donne envie d’en reprendre. Le plus faible des Caroni “hangar”, moins d’aromatique et un début de bouche un peu acqueux. Ça reste malgré tout un fantastique rhum !
Ein großer Rum, perfekt ausbalanciert. Für mich in der richtigen Mitte aus Teer und Süße auf der Caroni-Skala. Hat von allem ein bisschen und trifft genau die perfekte Mitte. Einige Röstaromen und trotz der 55% hier die volle Power.
