Velier Caroni Blended Trinidad Rum 1991

8.6/10
Rated by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰, Pavel Spacek & 18 more ↓

Caroni people who want an easy one to sip will get on with this. It leans fruity — cherry, apple, banana, more coconut than most Caronis — with vanilla and caramel over the trademark tar, rubber and smoke. At 55% the alcohol sits well integrated, nothing sharp. Several tasters note the dirty tar-and-solvent side is dialed way back, so it drinks softer than the year's Full Proof.

#4217 19.08.2023 we had our yearly meeting among old friends. When we do this once a year its without partners, cellphones and other gadgets. Just some nice rums, a piece of paper and a pen and most fun of all, a blind tasting. The theme of 2023 was Caroni and we had a great time and spend no less then 10 hours talking and tasting. Now to the bottle. Pretty good Caroni and it was bought when released at a very good price. A fruity Caroni in my mind, but still with some rubber and tar. Wood and roasted/smoky notes were really well balanced as was the ABV. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has more smoke and some mint.

... Caroni je destilerie z Trinidadu, produkujici v dobe sve nejvetsi slavy rum, ktery se pridaval v pomeru 1:10 do namornickeho blendu. Byl totiz moc vyrazny a divny nez aby byl prijemny na jazyku. V roce 2000 destilerka skoncila s produkci a byla uzavrena. Az v roce 2010 se objevili degustatori, kteri si rum oblibili prave pro jeho specialni chut. A zajem rostl. Caroni patri do kategorie rumu "you need to try before you die". Doporucuji, Caroni je opravdu unikatni rum.

Vielen Dank an Pavel Spacek für das Sample. Blind hätte ich hier wohl auf einen tropisch gereiften Guyana-Column-Still getippt, das Profil ist sehr ähnlich. Die typischen Caroni-Marker sind sehr weit im Hintergrund. Alkohol ist wunderbar eingebunden. Sehr gefällig, aber es fehlt etwas an Komplexität.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Pleasant to drink blended Caroni without the really big highlights. Sweet LTR notes of vanilla and caramel, plus the tart tar and spice notes of the HTR style. Pleasing, but not top class. Clearly behind the Full Proof release of the same year.

Nose and taste much more like a foursquare than a caroni!I miss all the dirty side of tar mixed with solvents typical of caroni and that complexity in their taste!A real shame!I was a little disappointed!

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: etwas wenig Power, geht in Richtung Foursquare, fehlt Komplexität.

No closed distillery is chased harder than Caroni. The Trinidad distillery shut down around 2002 and not a drop has been made since, but its heavy, oily, almost diesel-like rum became a collector obsession, carried to the world by Velier. Every bottle now comes from a finite, shrinking stock, which is exactly why the prices keep climbing.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js).
