„Wunderschön gediegene Nase, Politur und Holzreife en Masse. Mit etwas Wasser flüssige Fishermans Friends. Nicht sehr dreckig. Im Mund ölig und dicht. Eine Chemiefabrik mit Karamell. Würzig und komplex. Im Abgang dann Holz und Karamell. Ein toller Caroni. Teer und die verbrannten Noten jedoch sehr zurückhaltend. Mehr davon bitte…“

„On the nose, this Caroni shows restraint. In the mouth, however, it is already very pleasing. It is extremely sweet. Caramelllllll. If you didn't know that Luca Gargano would never add artificial sugar, well, you could almost question it here... After a bit of time in the glass, this rum softens. The alcohol is elegantly integrated. If the rum did not cost a small fortune, this Caroni would definitely go into my collection.“

„I'm not surprised anymore by Caroni releases by Velier. This 1996 is magnificent with round notes perfectly balancing typical Caroni profile. Astonashing rum 😍“

„Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Bereits auf der eher herben Seite, dennoch ist das jahrgangstypische Profil der 1996er Caronis noch erkennbar.“

„Ausgewogener als der Roop“

„Wow, this one was very different and kind of sweet compared to all other Caroni's I have tried! The nose is wonderful with the typical tar and rubber notes with roasted oak on top. Fruits, and vanilla follows and I also get a bit of nuts in there. The palate is very well balanced when thinking about the ABV. Complex, sweet and oily with roasted oak topped with some rubber and tar. Fruit, vanilla, leather and caramel make the palate complete. Pretty sweet for a Caroni, but I know they would never add anything to sweeten the rum. The finish is long and has roasted oak, rubber and caramel to it. The caramel is very present in this particular release.“

„Great Caroni and one of the best 96 I've ever had in the glass. Absolutely cool matured, in the nose a dream and in the mouth with the best I've ever had. Outstanding“

„2 drops of water, 2 hours in a glencairn glass before the tasting. It's a beautiful Caroni, very elegant and deep. The best bottle of the 5th employees release. Gorgeous!“

„verkostet zusammen mit dem Roop. Der Breeze wirkt an der Nase etwas runder, karamelliger und irgendwie kommen Assoziationen von Bohnerwachs auf (aus diesen ‚schrägen’ Tuben wie sie es früher gab). Der Roop kommt etwas frischer und stechender daher, Bergamotte und Kiefernholz im Hintergrund. Sind beide an der Nase noch eher zurückhaltend, kommen die Werkstatt-Noten am Gaumen dann aber brachial, einfach köstlich 🤤 Auch am Gaumen finde ich den Breeze etwas ausgewogener. Der Alkohol ist beim Roop nicht ganz so gut eingebunden.“

„Der Breeze weist die typischen Caroni-Charakteristiken auf (Autowerkstatt, Gummi, Teer). Jedoch nicht so ausgeprägt wie man das von einem 96er Jahrgang erwarten könnte. Hier kommen auch rote Fruchtnoten, Vanille, Trockenfrüchte durch. Er benötigt eine lange Standzeit.“

„Superbe caroni 1996. Un peu différent et plus sombre que la plupart tout en retrouvant les marqueurs caroni. Très belle réussite.“
