Aroma visualization from community tastings
Velier Caroni Blended Trinidad Rum 1991
Prunes, dark chocolate and a whiff of anise, over a soft caramel-and-vanilla sweetness that comes from the oak, not sugar. This is an unusually gentle Caroni — several tasters note the tar, petrol and rubber are mostly absent, replaced by berry fruit and florals. It needs time in the glass to open. At 61.7% the alcohol isn't always fully tucked in.
The community says- Complex, layered nose
- Fruity and soft
- Little classic Caroni funk

The look inside the bottle
How does Velier Caroni Blended Trinidad Rum 1991 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Soft, fruity Caroni light on the tar A softer, fruitier Caroni that many love, though fans of the classic tar-and-petrol style find it almost too tame. The high proof can read a touch hot.

Review by Rum Freund
Was ein toller Rum! Schöne Süße mit viel Frucht und weniger typischen Caroni Noten, dennoch ein wirklich leckerer Rum.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
29.01.2022 The big Caroni tasting with old rum buddies, good food, snacks and a lot of talking about old times. Notes Medium dark to dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, spice, light caramel, plum, faint anise. Palate Well rounded, naturally sweet, wood, light roasted, plum, raisin, light chocolate, light mint. Finish Medium to long, naturally sweet, wood, light smoke, mint, roasted, faint licorice.
Review by Mopar Rules
a real flash on the nose. Very complex and an amazing range of different flavors. It takes a while breathing in the glass before it opens up. Then there is a complexity of herbal, roast and wood aromas with a decent hint of dried fruits. Licorice is the only flavor I can spot that keeps up with the Coroni myth. It doesn’t held the promise on the palate. But of course it’s still a complex rum. Dried fruits, fennel and Eucalyptus, malt, roast aromas. And a subtle sweetness. I wonder if it might reach a higher level with a bit of sugar. Don’t kill me, but like salt in the kitchen sugar helps pushing the flavors. Have a look at the old Zacapas.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Spannendes Geschmacksprofil mit Süsse aus dem Eichenholz (Vanille, Karamell, Schokolade), dazu dezente tropische Früchte (Mango), würzige Bitterkeit und typische HTR-Noten (Teer, Benzin, Gummi).
Review by Johannes
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: seifig, blumig, mild, kaum Caroni-DNA, etwas zu neutral.
Review by Oliver
Excellent Caroni with a very nice sweetness. Almost a noble dessert. The alcohol could be better integrated on the palate.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Sweet and full Caroni. Forget extra technical taste.

Very unusual Caroni. Almost no notes of petrol in it, but berry fruits and flowers.
