Velier Caroni Paradise #11 2000
Tasters land in the high 8s to low 9s on this one, with the main quibble being how much oak it carries. Expect classic 2000 Caroni: tar and bicycle-tube rubber, roasted notes, milk chocolate, with a surprising mint streak and some dried apricot poking through. One reviewer called it "extremely woody, but still nice Caroni," and that heavy tarry grip lingers a long time.
The community says- Classic Caroni tar
- Long tarry finish

How does Velier Caroni Paradise #11 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Tarry, heavy, very woody 2000 Caroni Loved as a strong 2000 Caroni — tarry, heavy, and very woody. A couple of tasters flag the oak as intense, but most rate it comfortably above 9.

Ebenfalls ein Top Caroni aus dem 2000er Jahrgang, sehr sehr lecker und easy über 90.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Beau Caroni sur le goudron, lourd et puissant mais bien dans ce que j’aime
Review by Jakob
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Fass trifft Minze, prägnanter Fasseinfluss, dazu sehr präsente Minzaromen. Schönes Aromenspiel. HTR-Noten spielen eher untergeordnet mit. Sehr guter Caroni und typischer Vertreter aus dem 2000er Jahrgang.
Review by Oliver
Sehr gute, intensive Nase. Am Gaumen viel Holz (ohne zu viel zu sein). Exzellenter 2000er Caroni.

#4852 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 Wood, light roasted, light fruits, faint smoke, light medicinal, light petrol, faint citrus. Palate Medium intense, wood, light roasted, light citrus, fruits, light herbal, light medicinal faint honey, light earthy, light banana. Finish Medium to long, wood, faint smoke, light pineapple, spice, light herbal, faint mint. Not a bad release but the price tag is still out of this world 😊
Review by Pavel Spacek
Extremely woody, but still nice Caroni profile. The woody-caroni taste remains on tongue for long time...
