"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Exquisite and stylish HTR representative from 1996. Rich sweetness with powerful gum and tar notes. Balanced, quaffable, yet with rough edges. My personal favorite in the Employees series."

Top review from Jakob:
"To date, the most impressive testimony to the quality Foursquare is capable of producing. Aging in former Madeira barrels brings a perfect flavor complement to the usual Foursquare profile and puts the Destino in a different league than the bulk of other Foursquare bottlings. Excellent."

Top review from Joachim Guger:
"In the glass it takes times an eternity, two hours of ventilation is not wrong there.A wonderful nose, beautiful dried fruit. The classic Caroni vibe (burnt tar, rubber) is not quite as pronounced and unexpectedly (70%) the nose is somewhat restrained.In the mouth then brutally the fist, but very, very good. In the finish then still spoils the full load of spices.Beautiful Caroni to enjoy and then freshen up."

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Formidable 96 Caroni with the typical heavy sweetness, rich dirty tar notes, wood, menthol and a good hint of chocolate. What fascinates me most is how clearly the differences between Trinidad and Guyana Stock come into play here, despite all the comparability - the Trinidad barrels bring in a pointed astringent character that can quickly seem overwhelming at first, but de facto allows a completely different facet of the 96 Caronis to emerge and opens up a fireworks display of aromatics. Impressive - a delight."

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Sehr runder Caroni, dem auch die leichte Reduktion auf Navy-Strength nicht geschadet hat. Der Rum bringt die 96er Süsse in Perfektion zum Ausdruck, dazu klingt Gummi, frisches Eichenholz und vorallem eine präsente Würzigkeit aus Kaffee, Pfeffer und Nelke an. War lange Zeit ein noch gut erhältlicher Caroni-Vertreter aus 1996, hat aber mittlerweile „aufgeholt“ und zieht auch preislich an - hier darf aber zumindest festgehalten werden, dass die Qualität im Glas absolut zu überzeugen weiss. Ein exzellenter Vertreter des m.E. ohnehin herausragenden Jahrgangs 1996."

"I am impressed! I have not had the rum in the glass for a long time. Meanwhile, I like it even better. Wonderfully complex blend. Currently I feel more Diamond with the typical glue note, molasses, wood, dark dry fruits, less Versailles notes."

"Despite the price tag I gad to try this release and it didn't disappoint me. The price tag may be high, but is is also an old rum. Nice and fruity on the nose with some leather notes. Once rested even more notes appear. The palate is warm, dry and well balanced. Despite the age the wood isn't dominant but mixes very well with the fruits and floral notes. The finish warm and medium to long and dry with dried fruit and wood."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is another very rare bottle and the content only has one flaw, the bitterness and black tea is far too dominant basically destroying what could be a truly perfect rum. A few drops of water can't smooth out the dominance. "

Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"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."

Top review from Joachim Guger:
"On the nose, freshness and menthol. Nice dirty caroni notes, nougat and then very fruity, mango and passion fruit. The long time in the barrel shows mainly through various spices.In the mouth a lot of nougat and wood. The finish is surprisingly short.Despite the pronounced Caroni notes and the 64% rather tame. Nougat, lots of menthol and lots of fruit."

Top review from Oliver:
"One can directly recognize the Foursquare DNA. Compared to other bottlings, however, an uncanny complexity and depth awaits, reminiscent of tropically aged Demerara bottlings. On the palate, round, nutty-spicy, intense, multilayered with a great sweetness. Similar to the 2006 just a touch more complex. Best Foursquare so far. A real firework in the mouth - Love it!"

Top review from Jakob:
"Top Caroni and an excellent representative of the great 96 vintage. Balanced, complex, Caroni-typical notes, dark fruits and beautiful sweetness. An ideal entry rum into the high-quality world of tropically aged Caronis with now also not quite so easily affordable, but still relatively good value for Caroni."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This release was bottled between 2002 and 2005 and it's virtually impossible to get your hands on one today. A very nice edition from Zacapa that also explodes in your mouth. They have released XO versions since this one but they're not an exact match though pretty close. "

Top review from Jakob:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Develops amazing aromatic complexity with a little patience and time spent in the bottle. Rather dry Caroni with only discreet, but very charming residual sweetness and a lot of barrel influence, which is undoubtedly intense, but does not tip into the too bitter. One of the bottlings where the long availability is qualitatively inexplicable. Exceptionally good."

Top review from Jakob:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Pleasant that the long tropical aging does not turn into overly violent bitter notes here either. The tart notes are present, but in nice balance with the caramel, wood and spice notes. After repeated tasting, it is behind the sister release in honor of Sonny Black in a direct comparison for me, because in my opinion it clearly falls behind in terms of balance. However, it should not be forgotten that we are talking about Velier and Caroni in terms of benchmarks, so we are already at the highest level."

"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Runder 98er Caroni mit angenehmer Süsse und dank der etwas geringeren Alkoholstärke fast schon ein easy sipping Rum - soweit man davon bei Caroni sprechen kann. Im Direktvergleich mit den übrigen Velier Caroni-Releases im unteren Mittelfeld unterwegs, was aber ohne Mühen immer noch zu einer sehr guten Einstufung genügt - und einmal mehr die beinahe einzigartige Qualität dieser Rums hervorhebt."

"This bottle is very expensive now but it's still a pretty good demerara. Very heavy on the oak notes and I like that you can get vanilla and molasses in there as well. There is a slight rubber and mineral note hiding in the back."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is a wonderful rum and the price to quality is very good. I'd say this one is better that its predecessor. More elegant in a way. The nose is intense and fruity with leather, chocolate, wood trailed by light vanilla and nuts. The notes become much clearer once rested for more than 15 minutes. The palate is intense and well balanced with fruit, leather, chocolate as well as light wood and vanilla. The finish is medium to long with dried fruit, coffee and light wood and tobacco. I will have to order a bottle of this rum :-)"

Top review from Jakob:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Das Alter ist erkennbar, aber ohne dem Rum eine zu dominante Bitternote aufzudrücken. Schöne Süsse, Holz, Würze - einzig die dreckigen Caroni-Noten könnten noch etwas präsenter sein. Reiht sich aber nahtlos in die Serie exzellenter Caronis von Velier ein und bestätigt deren Ausnahmestellung unter der Flut an Releases aus der Destille."

"Lots of almonds, dried fruit. Fresher than the 2012.Complex, well integrated alcohol. Great nose (again)!Then in the mouth lots of wood (maybe too much), A variety of fruits and a very nice long finish. The flavors come in waves, it keeps changing in the mouth over 30 seconds, awesome!Mega agricole. I like a touch better than the 2012. en par with Neisson and Chantal Comte La Mauny."

"#5 RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruits (apricot, cocconut, banana), fruity, woody M: spicy, woody, astrigend, roasted, minty F: oak, vanilla, caramel Prediction: guyana maybe (had some appleton estate in mind, but with that tastes… i‘m unsure) , approx. 55-60%…. totally wrong 🙈 Update: Still the beste AE Hearts for me An amazing Appelton Estate! It has a nice burnt umber color and oily tears. The first impression is a smell of glue and different fruits, the typical Jamaican/appleton smell. For sure this one needs time to fully open. In mouth it has a bitter, complex, ginger, tropical fruits… and low ester. The finish is a warm, dry, salty, woody, vanilla with a bit of orange. Resume: Best of Appelton so far!"

"Magnificent!On the nose tar, barrel and lightly cherry and vanilla. In the mouth an explosion of perfectly balanced sensations. Still tar, barrel and followed by toastiness and chocolate with a mix of spices.Intense finish that lingers until the next day.In my small way, one of the best rums I have tasted. I assigned 94 because there are too many great rums that I have never tasted and may never taste."

"Enfin pu goûter au tout 1er millesime de Neisson. C’est un 10 ans d’âge On n’a pas le pti goût de noisette comme sur les derniers neisson mais plus un goût noix de pécan et le boisé est présent avec un pti côté salé il s’efface relativement vite, la longueur est juste moyenne. C’est le 1er millesime embouteillé par Alex Bobi à son arrivée en 2001 chez neisson. Un rhum collector"

"I picked up a fresh batch of samples from a friend and had a go at them yesterday. This is a nice and intense release and I particularly love the floral notes that are released once rested for a while. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass is really nice and even more flavours can be picked up."

"This is a nicely balanced Labbé and I think the price is pretty good. Well balanced on the nose and intense and complex on the palate. It did need to rest for a good while before all flavours were released. Lightly fruity and I like the nutty touch and the licorice on the finish. The empty glass was really nice after a few hours 😊"

"I had the privilege of tasting this historic rum thanks to Jimmy owner of Aguardiente a small place with an incredible atmosphere where you can sit at a table and choose from the 1300 bottles of rum on display. Definitely this rum is an experience to try at least once in a lifetime! Personally I was a little disappointed because for its history and price I was expecting more!"

Top review from HenryL:
"Very tasty! Great nose, in the first moment when you take a sip it has briefly a somehow unpleasant mouthfeel. However, this fades very quickly, then spreads a great flavor palette in the mouth! The rum develops from rather acidic ester notes to a sweetish pear with a slight eucalyptus note."
