"Retasting it tonight, it still is an absolute monster. This is intense above anything and still a superb EMB, this is the lucky cask of the 1995s I love everything about this. This is a defining rum …"

"Holy cow (Pun Intended). This is just lovely. An old tared wood plank with some methol and rubber. It is a journey that also ends up at some point with being super fruity. And it all is rather mellow …"

"From start to finish this is a breeding pot of dark tones, wood spices and berries. Intense tropical notes that never punch your gut too hard. The finish gets a bit minty and a bit black tea. Not …"

"Caroni 85 Crosstasting, what an intense Monster, Rubber and tubing, diesel and old dried fruits in the nose, again the baked apple. Then just a lovely dirty caroni on the palate, again the baked apple …"

"Trade fair review"

"A very lovely nosem that has raisin and karamell, unfortunately this sample tasted completely off. I fear that sample was taken down by oxidation, therefore no scoring..."

"Whisky Live Paris 2025"

"Tasted at Velier Live 2024, what a massive piece of Rum. Unfortunately they know that and put a price on that. The aging really got a kind of demerara aged heaviness into it. Really a lovely piece …"

"A new era of Guyana goodness and the good sign, that there is greatness still coming out of ddl. A dark and mellow profile with leaks and the caramel tones without being overly sweet. This is …"

"What a treat of a Hampden. A well balanced powerhouse with fruit and ester and just a hint of buttery vanilla. This is a classic example of the prime days of Hampden before the necessities took over …"

"Uhh, this is why Chantal Comte is such a high class independent bottler. This is complex, with dark cherry notes, tobacco, wood, florally. It is such a wonderful spirit in all regards. Just in awe in …"

"What a fantastic 2000 offering. Fresh and dirty rubber and menthol. A load of roast aromas with tar and a hint of mentholy vanilla. Some tar to finish this strong caroni and really wakes it place at …"

"A heavy oily and mechanical caroni that helps you liking it with a nice sweet aroma..this is what Caroni can be if it wants to be a crowd pleaser. Really catches you unaware and then makes Ou a happy …"

"Dieser gibt schwere Noten von Holz und Leder, begleitet von etwas Süße stark verbrannten Zuckers. Im Hintergrund ein Hauch von Teer. Der Abgang ist trocken und tanninhaltig, wie bei Tee. Nicht der …"

"Superb Courcelle with an outstanding Cask aging. Really something!"

"Velier with the big guns. This is a heavy rum with loads of wood influences. Anis and coffee, and while it makes all these quite well, I am missing some fruity notes to counter balance. It falls heavy …"

"Dass der Jahrgang 1994 ein fantastischer Jahrgang sein kann, wurde immer wieder bewiesen, und dieser ist keine Ausnahme. Ich mag diese Applejack-Nase, die sie manchmal entwickeln. Dieser ist ziemlich …"

"For the reduction this feels rather full,.an agricole fullnes of marzipan and tea. I really like this as it never gives you an impression of lacking taste. A really nice 1974 from an unknown bottler. …"

"I still really like this, eventhough i for sure is not the best 1996, it really comes a long way from lesser velier caronis. It is for me the weakest of the trilogy, since it is really forward on the …"

"It is a solid offering, but it is hardly in relation to the price..."

"Wow, was für ein Highlight für die hier verwässerten Guyanas. Das Sherryholz ist eine schöne Ergänzung zu einem chartered Barrel, das alles zu einem dunklen, von Rosinen angetriebenen Traum aus …"

"For 1999 this is rather intense. It's in the nose as I would expect a shinanoya cask pick to be. That is a monster of a 99 with all the right notes. Nose is not overwhelming but the palate hits you …"

"Tasting gang is one of those Caronis that hit far less out of a fresh bottle. This one need oxidation to really come to its potential. Fruit and raw dough are sugared in a workshop. Quite the nice …"

"A very decent and lovely blend a good melange of awesome.flavours."

"Still a nice Port Mourant and a superb 1989. Very full tobacco and leather notes, some herbs but not über herbal. Perfect alcohol integration this was taken out of a cask at its peak. A very nice rum …"

"Quite a trip and restarting it tonight, some of the magic went away. Sadly this does not hold the excellent review I gave it the first time. Still a very good ,<>H that is so much better than the …"

"Oh wow, such an enormous intensity. Damoiseau turned up to eleven, spices and wood complex and selweet, some maritime palate at times. Lovely"

"Caroni 85 Crosstasting, Oh boy, someone took a tea bag of Black tea with some fruit and threw it into a caroni cask. A sensational combination. If the drity notes where a bit more pungent this …"

"What a lovely surprise, this is old school with it's intense but not old wood, this is low ester but remarkably watery after all.this time. This really fills the 43% really nicely. I can see how this …"

"St. Lucia World Cup Verkostung"

"How do you want to rate it. Unfortunately, I really liked it better on its own than in May Tai. Lost style meets it. But in the mai tai unfortunately no more than a reminder of days gone by."

"A spectacular nose. That really reminds me of an old reimonenq on steroids. But with the tasting comes a flavour that dominates the rest of the experience, that for me screams paxarette from every …"

"Also, abgesehen von der Zigarrenkiste ist das hier ein sehr einseitiger Grand Arome... Aaaaaber, es ist ein wirklich guter Trick, den ich sehr mag. Das hat alles, was ich von einem richtig guten Grand …"

"Sehr gute blend"

"Really fun piece, vegetal, tea, and brutality. Then again gentle bitter notes of green tea and fruit. The palate reminds me a bit of a tdl. Powerful and elegant with an eternally long finish. This is …"

"What a rockstar, the Danes again get a glorious full proof of the 88 badge. Here is a super fruity one that tastes like a bag of fruit tea fell in. Unswret hazelnut and varnish make the wooden …"

"Again a fantastic newer iteration of Guyana's that really delivers. This is really a rev and a superb one on top. And a fair price point on top, rather sweet but quite well balanced. I bought this and …"

"Whisky Live Paris 2025 A truely well rounded product, dont hitnk too much about the price if you dont have to! Redrinking it today. A very Hampden explosion with a landing in a soft cushion. An …"

"Unfortunately a bit thin but great!"

"A decent 1992 Guyana rum. This has the aromas I was desperately wanting in the hornigold, tobacco, cask oak and spice. This is really hinting about what was excellent in the 70s and 80s. Try it in a …"
