Velier Caroni 100% Trinidad Rum 17 HTR 1998
Sip this neat, and give it 15 minutes to open — a few drops of water tames the 55% and pulls out extra fruit. Expect the classic Caroni signature: tar, rubber, diesel and polish wrapped around dried fruit, vanilla and orange peel. Several tasters call it the best of the Extra Strong trilogy, clearly beating the 12 and 15. Dirty, but rounder and easier than most.
The community says- Classic Caroni markers
- Well-integrated alcohol
- But: Bit light-bodied

Review by Joe95
The best of the Extra Strong series for me, beautiful empyreumatic notes typical of Caroni, but also roasted nuts, tobacco and dark chocolate. Perfect integration of the alcohol and magnificent length.
Review by Mirco

Nice representative of dirty 1998 Caronis at a good PLV. Of course, it cannot compete with high-end Caronis, but it is still convincing. Typical Caroni with tar, menthol, rubber and some diesel.

Very good rum, too smoky for me personally. No every day rum, you need time for that.
Review by Oliver
Wonderful Caroni with (still) very good value for money.
Review by Jakob
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: A more than solid standard. Great aromatics, the tropical aging comes into its own and adds depth - in the spectrum of Velier Caronis this only reaches the lower midfield, but across all Caronis to be found in the extended top group.
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Everything I love in a rum! I can't imagine a world without Caroni!I dread to think how good the vintages from the 80s must be! I know Velier is trying to reconstruct the still by interviewing everyone who had worked at the distillery.
Review by Joachim Guger
A classic Caroni with lots of orange peel. Not as ripe and full-bodied as some other Velier releases, the body is a bit slimmer and reminds me of a good Agricole. With that Caroni vibe, mind you. A rum that’s really fun, glass after glass. Edit: Back in the glass after years. The pronounced orange 🍑, diesel, and old oil notes are wonderful. 🔥 It really shines on the finish, which takes about 30-60 seconds, then a phenomenal spice and diesel come through, and it lasts for a long time… He’s no Heavy Weight Champion, but he’s a great, very well-balanced, easy-drinking Caroni.
Review by cigares
The first time I tasted this rum blind I didn't recognize Caroni, it didn't have enough oxidation to reveal its full potential. A complex nose of tar, smoke and red fruits. A palate with a very broad and deep aromatic palette. A finish as expected from Caroni, infinite and complex. The end of the bottle is delicious!
Review by Rene Nielsen
A very nice Caroni. Nose: dried fruit, tar, iodine, little smoke. Taste: dried fruit, raisin, a little oak and tar, again some smoke. Complex and smooth. Very tasty and easy too drink - i like it
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Retasting and I still like it a lot, the price tag has gone through the roof since release 😊 ===================== This one beats both the 12 and 15 year versions by far. A true Caroni from the nose to the finish. The alcohol is almost too dominant so I added a few drops of water which also released a lot of extra flavours after resting for 15 minutes. The nose is typical Caroni with rubber, polish and fruits mixed with vanilla. The palate continues with the rubber and clearly charred barrel as well as fruit and spices. The finish is long and also has the rubber and burnt/charred barrel to it.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Simply great fun. Too bad this profile won't always be available. Relatively deep flavor profile, rather dirty, especially for the vintage. However, the fruity components also come into their own on the finish. Very solid Caroni in the upper mid-range.
Review by Serge
For me better than the 15yo of the same vintage - even if 1998 is not my favorite vintage. Relatively dirty and with (also) continental fruits compared to the 15 yo, the extra ABV scores (even if it's still at the lower limit).
Review by LukaŽiga
8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get are notes from roasted wood like nuts, caramel and some spice like vanilla. Citrus flows underneath with orange peel, there are dried fruits and molasses with flowery notes and tobacco, from industrial notes, there is just a rubber, a bit of polish. After airing the rum, the molasses is more vegetal, minty, but with honey, the fruits are yellow and there are some pear, surprisingly banana, lemon peel, mocha. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is tasty, round with fruity and woody notes like dried and yellow fruits, later citrus, the wood is charred, spicy, dry with nuts, nougat, caramel and vanilla.From industrial dirty notes we find some rubber and petrol, menthol. After resting the rum, the molasses is herbal and minty, the fruits diverse with orange peel, pear, mango, banana and peaches. 8,4:The finish is long, but less round as before with bitter industrial notes, tannins, still nicely fruity with yellow, dried fruits, citrus, as the wood is spicy, charred, dry. Edit:23.3.25-oxidation, resting helps, an upgrade
Review by DomM
Deep and rich on the nose. Well balanced yet rather dirt forwards, making it a very interesting 98 nose for my preferences. Compared to the 15y, the nose has more depth and complexity to it, ie the clear winner for me. Powerful on the palate as well. Compared to the 15y, reduction in ABV is way less harmful here. Dirt, choclate and some dried fruit providing good complexity and intensity overall.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Caroni with a very seductive profile. The nose is initially quite soft, revealing notes of vanilla, dried fruit, menthol, pepper and a delicate woodiness. The nose then reveals typical empyreumatic aromas, with notes of smoke, rubber, tar, leather and tobacco. A floral breeze and orange zest graze the nostrils as the rum airs out. One of the most appealing and varied noses among caronis. On the palate, the rum is initially very delicate, followed by grimy notes of tar, rubber, smoke, roasted hazelnuts, spices and a perceptible burnt woodiness. Tobacco and leather confirm the trend on the palate, while dried fruit and red berries try to get in on the action. Despite the rather low 55 degrees for a Caroni, the profile is very pleasant, dirty, expressive and elegant. The very long finish returns to Caroni's dirty side, with lots of empyreumatic notes (burnt sensation, rubber, tar), spices, wood, roasted hazelnuts and a bitterness that nails the taste show. A very good representative of the distillery that has disappeared, which can still be found despite the rise in speculation.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Today, the 17-year-old was allowed into the glass for the first time. The tropical maturation had a considerable influence on the rum. Fruitiness, oak, vanilla and rubber vie for supremacy. The result is a complex rum with a long-lasting, warm finish. The alcohol is slightly noticeable, but not unpleasant. For me, it's a whole lot better than the 15-year-old. Very tasty and reasonably affordable by Caroni standards.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Caroni Rum tasting with a friend. On the nose: Delicious fruity notes, fresh, complex, and with those unique "dirty" notes. On the palate: Flowers and fruit initially emerge, followed by notes of leather and rubber. Finish: Simply delicious. Average length. A delightful Caroni, but if you're experienced with the "higher end" Caroni, you'll notice that this version is a bit more toned down. Or put another way: This is a delicious V8-cylinder Caroni, but without the turbos.
Review by Thunderbird
This is a Caroni of the dark, spicy and strong kind. I still find it relatively soft and mild on the palate. On the palate, however, it shows its full potential of tar, gas station and spice. But definitely not unpleasant, quite the opposite: it harmonizes and can be enjoyed wonderfully. If dark berry aromas were still present, this could have been a 10-point candidate for me. As it is, it only scratches the 9
Review by Mike H.
Much better than the 15 years. The flavors are much more pronounced in nose and mouth. Still a touch on the light side but everything that I love about Caroni can be found in this rum.
Review by Felix Reiber
Wunderbar komplexe Nase mit vielen Gewürzen und intensiven Caroni-Noten. Im Vergleich zum 15er kommen hier noch rote Früchte und dunkle Schokolade hinzu. Am Gaumen ist er überzeugend intensiv und komplex. Holz, Leder, Röstaromen und viele Gewürze (z.B. Zimt) nehmen Fahrt auf. Dann dunkles Karamell, Fass, Tabak und Espresso. Etwas fruchtiges wie z.b. reifer Apfel oder Birne ist im Hintergrund. Der lange, würzige Abgang ist ebenso komplex und aromatisch. Geprägt von Kräutern, Fass, Tanninen und gerösteten Nüssen klingt alles mit einer schönen Holzigkeit und Gewürzen aus. Eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit zum genialen 100th Anniversary ist vorhanden, doch der 17er unterscheidet sich m.E. durch etwas Schokolade und/oder Espresso. Sehr lecker und nur zu empfehlen.
Review by alex
Très bon et très fin , Les marqueurs habituels, C’est toujours un plaisir de revenir sur ce jus. Belle rondeur, des beaux arômes, de fruits, de la vanille, du caramel, Du sale … C’est vraiment très bon ❤️
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose, quite mellow and pleasant smell of demerera/Barbados rum crossover. On the taste, wow Absolute perfect balance rich and complex flavour. Burnout feels like pleasant tease on your tongue. Finish is quite long for me and very pleasant dark chocolate notes. On the high end rums, this clearly the best one that i have ever tasted. To me has all the element that i want from a neat sippin rum. First Caroni rum that i have tasted and this one lives up to its hype.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Caroni is a distillery from Trinidad, producing at the time of its greatest glory rum, which was added at a ratio of 1:10 to the naval blend. It was too strong and strange to be pleasant on the tongue. In 2000, the distillery ceased production and closed. Only in 2010 did tasters appear who took a liking to the rum because of its special taste. And the interest grew. Caroni belongs to the category of "you need to try before you die" rums. I recommend it, Caroni is a truly unique rum.
Review by Maxence
Good 1998 vintage. Perfectly represents Caroni style in an accessible version !
Review by Christoph
Wenn man ein Auto mit Orangenextrakt auf einer frisch geteerten Straße poliert dürfte es so riechen und natürlich macht das in einem Lack und Leder Outfit. Im Geschmack dann der verschüttete Espresso auf der Motorhaube auf der vorher die Zigarette ausgedrückt wurde, was sich im Abgang im Grunde im Abgang fortsetzt.
Review by Frank
Angenehm würzig und ledrig in der Nase. Säuerliche, geschwefelte Frucht, wie getrockneter Aprikose. Tabak und Vanille und auch rauchig. Liebstöckel und eine leichte Honig-Süße. Kräftig würzig-süß am Gaumen. Die Süße erinnert mich an Marzipan. Jetzt kommen auch die leicht dreckigen Aromen durch. Gummi und Plastik, aber umgeben von Liebstöckel und Vanille. Säuerliche Frucht vlt. Johannisbeere. Deutlich mehr Körper und Menge Caroni als der 12 jährige Bruder.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Always a pleasure to find. Well-balanced, with a strong Caroni character and a pleasant gourmand touch.
Review by Christoph H.
In der Nase schön warm und Rund. Schön fruchtig mit frischen und getrockneten Früchten. Außerdem süßliche Aromen mit Karamell, Honig und Vanille. Selbstverständlich ist auch der Brennereicharakter mit Teer, Kerosin, Maschinenöl, Rauch und Politur vertreten. Alles ist gut ausgewogen, nichts sticht raus. Es gibt spektakulärere Caronis, klar. Trotzdem war diese Abfüllung seit geraumer Zeit ein PLV kracher und nicht umsonst ein Klassiker
Review by Mentalo
Hier kommen die Caroni typische dreckigen Noten sehr gut zur Geltung. Ganz leichte Fruchtnoten, kaum Süße. In meinen Augen deutlich besser als der 15 Jährige. Bringt die Caroni-Noten auf den Punkt, auch wenn er darüber hinaus etwas schwächelt.
Review by Speedflo
Diese Caroni-Legende durfte ich heute probieren. Sehr kräftig und Geschmacksintensiv von der Nase bis in den Gaumen, diese wird an der tropischen Lagerung liege. Typisch dreckige Noten von Teer, Gummi, Mentol.Dieser Rum atmet gerne 15min im Glas, vorher ist der Alkohol sehr präsent.
Review by Hufschmid Pius
Super im Abgang, die ersten Schlucke eine Überraschung. Je länger im Mund umso Angenehmer.
Review by lars
Diesmal leider kein schönes Foto - aber dafür ists bei leichtem regen umso gemütlicher! Der hier hat deutlich mehr tiefe als der 12er und gefällt mir trotz verstopfter Nase super. Irgendwie kommt hier zu den typischen noten noch eine leichte fruchtigkeit die das ganze ein wenig abrundet. Auch der Alkoholgehalt ist sehr angenehm.
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
Very fruity nose! Intoxicating! First glass of the bottle, so let's see what happens next. Rubber marked orange and red fruits. Delicious! Rubber well present on waking 😛
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Mein erster Caroni. Schon was anderes als ich sonst probiert habe.
Review by Martin Spooner
Die Nase noch relativ zürichaltend nach gummi und Teer. Am Gaumen dann schöne Runde caroni Aromen. Leider nicht ganz so dreckig woe ich es am liebsten habe aber dennoch sehr schöne Komplexität vorhanden. Sehr sehr süffig.
Review by Arthur Moreau
A classic that's as enjoyable as ever.
Review by Manuel
Sehr sehr guter Caroni mit gut eingebunden Alkohol und leichte Süße im Abgang. Sonst sehr würzig. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Caroni Abfüllungen auch noch im bezahlbaren Bereich. Den Caroni kann ich aber sehr empfehlen, sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Nase: Karamell, Vanille, Orangenschale, röstig, dreckig. Gaumen: holzig, Kaffee, leicht süßlich. Im Abgang deutliche Bitternoten, die aber sehr angenehm sind. Auch der Alkohol ist top eingebunden.
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
Delivered on all the things I expect from a Caroni: Tar, diesel and earthy tones, but at the same time well rounded. Alcohol is well integrated.
Review by Henry Davies
For my tastes better than the 21. A more well rounded and balanced Caroni, with great bicycle tyre and tar as well as more interesting molasses and fruity notes. The nose is all Caroni with tar and varnish ebbing into a softer and easier to drink nose. Finish is medium length and very easy going all considered. A great rum and one that highlights the quality of the Velier Caroni picks
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è molto potente e intenso, complesso. Aromi profondi e caldi, si abbracciano in questo ricco Caroni. Purtroppo non sono un amante delle note sporche
Review by Mopar Rules
well balanced, warm and smooth rum, decent influence of the cask, roast notes, herbs and chocolate. But sorry, I don’t find these dirty notes of rubber and tar that seem to have created in part the myth Caroni. May be ‘cause I smell too much rubber, Oil and gas on the weekends
Review by bur2000
Der allererste Eindruck in der Nase war "Rum", das klassische Rumaroma, lecker. Dann Vanille und Gummi, ein bisschen teerig. Gelegentlich kommt ein rauchiger Speck durch... Das ganze aber sehr frisch und leicht, sogar blumig. Auch ein kühler Geruch, der mich an hartes Wasser erinnert Im Mund dann sehr angenehm, weich, ölig und Werkstatt, sowie ein schönes Vanillearoma vom Holz. Der Alkohol hält sich äußerst bedeckt. Ich mag die Nase bei Rums fast immer mehr als den Geschmack, aber dieser ist am Gaumen noch besser und macht immer Lust auf mehr. Der Abgang ist mittellang, gut intensiv und lässt die Werkstatt und Vanille zurück. Nach längerer Zeit kommen ab und zu kurze fruchtige Eindrücke, Weintrauben. Gefällt mir sehr gut, weich und rund ohne langweilig oder flach zu sein. Wunderbares Aroma von Vanille und Rum. Der ABV ist genau richtig. Verkostung aktualisiert, da beim zweiten Trunk doch deutlich anders und komplexer. #22:250307

Review by Worst
Ottimo Caroni del 1998 indubbiamente. Nonostante il suo marchio di fabbrica che già al naso si rivela con le classiche note di paraffina notiamo che questo suo lato un po’ sporco si integra benissimo con note di cacao e balsamiche. In bocca molto rotondo ritroviamo il cacao e tabacco. Finale molto lungo. Ottimo rum.
Review by Nika
For me, this is one of the less enjoyable Caronis. The fresh fruity vibe is definitely there, but that is not what I go for primarily.
Review by Adrien B
Assez Vif, tendu, belle longueur en final, fraîche et crade.

What began as my digital tasting diary is now the world's most comprehensive platform for rum fans, today carried by a small team with Jakob, Lukas and Katharina, with Robert supporting us as a freelancer. We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, so you can choose with confidence, without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
