Velier Chamarel Warren Khong Villa Paradisetto 1988/2020 2013
One member called it "like to drink a meadow full of flowers" — and that floral, grassy side is really the heart of this cane-juice rum from Chamarel. Expect pineapple and apricot up front, a light sweetness, then pepper and young oak on a slightly bitter, medium finish. Pleasant and fresh, but several tasters found it a touch simple and short.

Aggregated from 51 community reviews.
Fresh, floral cane-juice rum, a bit simple Well-liked for its fresh floral, grassy character and integrated 54.6%, but a few felt it lacked personality and even preferred the standard Chamarel XO. Nice, not deep.

11.10.2025 Retasting at the Whisky Live Hamburg. Still like it a lot. --------- I have bought the entire series and overall I think they're pretty good. The fruit is there from opening the bottle and it has a fresh grassy nose with a roasting note to it. The palate has less fruits but a flowery touch instead and it's lightly sweet with a hint of licorice. The finish is medium long and spicy with caramel. Price to quality is good.

Sample bottled at the Kirsch stand at the Pueblo del Ron in Nuremberg. I think it's by far my least favorite of the three in the series with the Monymusk and the Privateer. Agricole just isn't as much my thing as molasses is.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
First time tasting a Charamel!I found an interesting rum with very pronounced pepper and floral notes with the particularity that both the nose and the taste leaves you with a fresh and pleasant aroma.Overall not very complex but it surprised me pleasantly!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Am Samstag als ersten Rum auf der "Pueblo del ron" 2024 verkostet und ich weiß nicht, ob es an meinem heute noch jungfräulichen Gaumen liegt, aber dieser Rhum holt mich sehr ab. Sanft an Nase wie Gaumen, kaum grasig (für mich wichtig), trocken wirkend, Alkohol gut integriert. Vielleicht insgesamt schon fast ein bisschen langweilig, aber möglicherweise genau deshalb der richtige Starter heute, mir gefällt er.

Like to drinkink meadow full of flowers. Wow!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sehr angenehmer chamarel. Nussig, blumig, floral und leicht würzig holzig bitter. Rose trifft auf Haselnuss, Lakritze und junges Eichenholz. Alkohol könnte etwas besser integriert sein, dazu eine leichte nougat süße und bittere Heu Note im Abgang. Erinnert auch bisschen an Calvados oder Williams Birne.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Ve vůni se mísí travnaté tóny, cukrová třtina, citrusy a něco trochu divného, asi jako zatuchlina a kůže. Chuť je poměrně umírněná. Nic moc nevyčnívá. Nejvíc asi propsaný sud, vanilka a trochu ořechy. Hodně useklý závěr.
Review by Romain de L
Nice robe, appealing shine. Nose is interesting, not overpowering. Notes of exotic fruits, sweetness. Attack is stronger than the nose would suggest. Wood and spice coming along. Agreeable finish
Review by BnBrt
Tasted after the rather sweet chamarel xo, I'll have to try it again in another context. Light, rather fresh nose. Some notes of cane. Pleasant but lacks a little personality. On the palate, the attack is also light but pleasant, with a few spicy notes that give way to the wood of the barrel. Long barrel finish, a little too bitter for my taste.

Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Tasted at GRF2025 I do find this bottling better than the bottlings from Chamarel that I've tasted.
Review by Montana
A fruity smell, a little caramel, spicy, a little alcoholic.The taste is slightly sweet, fruity, a little peppery and slight hints of sugar cane.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Immature peach Grassy Muscat Cinnamon I want add to this baked salmon, lemon and herbs. To be honest with all respect to VELIER, but I will prefer distillery bottlings. For me basic XO version easy beat this release from Velier.
