Velier Caroni Paradise #7 (Guyana Stock) 1994
Made for Caroni hunters who chase the "atelier mécanique" side of rum — tar, petrol and rubber over oak, with dried fruit and a light roasted edge underneath. This 1994 Velier bottling at 26 years and 58% is dense and mechanical, with a long smoky, faintly minty finish. Tasters call it clearly Caroni and complex, though several felt the price outruns what's in the glass.
The community says- Classic Caroni petrol
- Complex, layered

How does Velier Caroni Paradise #7 (Guyana Stock) 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Heavy petrol-and-tar Caroni sipper Unmistakably Caroni: heavy petrol, tar and oak wrapped around dried fruit and roast. Most rate it high on quality; the recurring gripe is that the price runs ahead of the pour.

#4853 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Round, complex, wood, light roasted, faint floral, spices, faint chocolate, light anise, faint tar, petrol, faint fruits. Palate Round, complex, wood, light roasted, faint smoke, light anise, light mint, petrol, light tar, faint coffee, light chocolate, faint fruits. Finish Long, wood, faint smoke, light mint, fruits, cinnamon, light citrus, faint tar. Also a very good release but again the price tag it way over the quality.

Caroni très hydrocarbures avec beaucoup d’alcool, pas ce que je préfère.
