"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."

"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."

Velier • Caroni
1998   22yr   68,3%   €€€€

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."

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.

"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!"

"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."

"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."

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 :-)"

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!"

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."

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!"

"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."

"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."

"#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."

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 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!"

"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."
