“Perfect 1996 vintage profile with sweet and typical Caroni notes in the background. Alcohol integration is perfect as well. One of my favourite Employees for sure !”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Das hohe Alter wird erkennbar durch pointierten Fasseinfluss, der trotzdem noch immer genug Spannung im Profil zulässt, um nicht gänzlich zu überlagerten. Im Mittelfeld der 1996er Caronis, was insgesamt einen exzellenten Rum beschreibt.”

“Hier finde ich die Bitterkeit von verbranntem Zucker und zugleich etwas Süße von Karamell. Dezent Menthol, aber nicht so krass wie bei anderen Caroni der Employeer-Reihe. Gummi und etwas metallisch im Abgang. Auch hier ist der Alkohol sehr elegant eingebunden. Ein super Rum, aber nicht ganz so weit vorn dabei wie der Manmohan.”
