Velier Caroni 36th Release Heavy Trinidad Rum Guyana Stock HTR 1994

Here's the twist: give this 23-year Caroni a couple of hours in the glass and it flips from harsh to hypnotic. Tar, bicycle tube, leather and menthol lead, with only a whisper of dried fruit and burnt sugar. Several tasters call it one of the "dirtier," woodier 1994s — heavy, bitter, drying. A few feel the cask took over; most think it's remarkable.

Dirty, tar-heavy Caroni, very woody and dry Loved for its heavy tar-and-rubber intensity, though several note the wood turns bitter and drying. Needs long air; a handful found it too oaky, but most rate it very highly.

Properly dirty profile with heavy tar and rubber tones, very little fruit, lots of wood and selected spice notes, plus a hint of mint. Really fun in the glass. Develops further after years in the open bottle and gains complexity. For a higher rating, the 1994 vintage feels a bit too unbalanced and wild, which is of course quite appealing for Caroni fans.

Mouais... On the nose it's quite nice, rather greedy. But in the mouth, the wood erases everything else and imposes itself through a menthol/eucalyptus/bitterness side that is too present for my taste. I know it's not fashionable to quibble about Velier's caroni but this is a rum that I didn't appreciate personally.

A wonderfully intense and heavy Caroni we have here! A dirty Caroni with lots of wood. A very dark colour which I guess is the result of tropical aging. A poweful nose. Very spicy and complex on the palate. I am getting petrol, oak and some fruits/mango in the back ground! The wood is very present, getting close to bitter but still very enjoyable. A very length finish. I have a large sample so I am going to try it again in a few months to see what oxidisation does.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Develops amazing aromatic complexity with a little patience and time spent in the bottle. Rather dry Caroni with only discreet, but very charming residual sweetness and a lot of barrel influence, which is undoubtedly intense, but does not tip into the too bitter. One of the bottlings where the long availability is qualitatively inexplicable. Exceptionally good.

Very nice Caroni expression clearly profiting from its long tropical aging. Heavy on wood and cask notes with a nice touch of remaining sweetness and only hints of fruits. Reasonably dirty as well. Like it very much.

One of the best Caroni rums I've ever tried, at least for me. Incredibly awesome complexity on the nose with lots of tropical fruits, dark fruits, leather, tobacco, vanilla, mint, caramel, and tobacco. On the palate very similar, delicious, just makes it incredibly fun to explore.

A very dark rum in appearance. 23 years of tropical aging. A monster. It needs time, lots of time to reveal itself, but then it becomes an exceptional rum. Still marked by the wood, but with a complexity and depth of aromas never tasted before. The finish is endless and the empty glass the next morning tells a story all on its own. In one word: the more oxidized it is, the better it is. The bottom of the bottle is my best rum experience to date.

Simply wow! Wood, heavy, tar, sweet, easy-drinking. World-class for such a very dry rum. It remains my favorite among the heavy Caronis. Lots of tobacco and tar notes. Compared to the other single casks, you can actually still find this rum for three-digit euro amounts, even though that's still an absurd price, of course.

Small Caroni tasting. This one is more on the dark woody side. Super intense. A bit bitter, a bit tar. Still very round, complex, tasty. For me, so far one of the best Caronis I've had in the glass.

Update: The last bit of the sample actually improved in quality, and the rum gained more life and fruit. Definitely a good bottle to keep open for a long time. 👌 Great tropical Caroni. Nicely dirty with a pleasant small (but fine) residual sweetness, nice wood astringency & mint/menthol and burnt sugar/caramel with leather and tobacco. With patience, you get some nut & nougat on the nose plus 🍌 and after a long rest a bit of mango/dried mango or a (very small) hint of tropical fruits on the palate.

Another Caroni 1994 with a very dark profile. Nose is absolutely crazy : so intense and heavy. However, palate is less balanced and probably a little too woody and bitterish. It still tastes really good 🤙

Freshly polished wooden dresser, varnish, fruit and burnt rubber out the back. Very dignified and noble the nose. In the mouth then almost only wood. Dry, astringent. I understand that opinions about this rum are divided, the weak point is in the mouth, in the finish then good again.According to experts, the Open Sample will be even better. Let's see in a few weeks.Edit: This happened nowIn the nose megagut, something more on fruit (mango, banana). You can smell a few hours on it...In the mouth still very astringent, but very complex now. Finish now also a bit more pleasing. Lots of oak and mango. A great Caroni!!!

Extremely dry, fresh, light and bitter like strong Assam black tea with a little mint. Very well balanced, for me personally it is just a little too dry and woody... Nevertheless, an absolute exception for me and really delicious.

Metallic, burnt, lots of mint and wood, polish, menthol and quite a lot of clove, later chocolate emerges along with an oily sweetness. Heavy Caroni, absolutely special profile. But I find it quite strong, has something KFM-ish about it. Bitter, astringent, mega dry and woody. Not quite my cup of tea.

Unmistakably a Caroni on the nose and palate. After I "unfortunately", thanks Jakob, had some other Caroni bottlings from different vintages in the glass, I come to the conclusion that this one is very good but does not make it into my personal Caroni top. A great companion to a cigar.

A Caroni that has made a lot of noise and is surprisingly still "accessible." The nose is intense, gourmand and concentrated on woody aromas, dark notes on roasted nuts, dark chocolate and burnt sugar. The petrol side stands out with leather, tobacco and dried fruits. You can feel the effect of tropical aging. On the palate, we find an extremely woody, dark, spicy, bitter and empyreumatic Caroni with smoky and petrol notes. The wood dominates the rest, hence this controversial side that diminishes its potential. The flavors are rustic, but the texture remains elegant and silky. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is very long, equally woody, bitter and smoky. Bitter chocolate and tobacco cross spices, menthol and aromatic herbs in a palate that lacks a bit of gourmandise. This is a high-level critique, but it is a rather special Caroni, clearly not the best but still accessible for some in terms of price.

... 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.

9,2:On the nose, from the first impression we know a great rum is in front of us, with roasted wood notes like caramel, burnt sugar, leather, spicy vanilla and earthy, minty molasses, as industrial notes are not pungent, actually they are a nice companion to other notes with tar and petrol.The fruits are dried with raisins and tropical with banana. On aeration, real thickness, heaviness of this rum is felt, but is very round and pleasant.It is a bit metallic, medicinal with polish, there is some bicycle tube note, as the fruits present are dried currants and cherries. 9,4:On the palate, the attack is delicious with creamy charred wood notes like caramel, burnt sugar, nuts and spicy vanilla, as the fruits are dried with raisins, apricots and tropical mango. The molasses is minty at first, later dark and earthy with tobacco, black tea and licorice. The industrial notes like tar, bicycle tube, a bit bitter are nicely interwoven in the rum's creaminess.With resting, minty notes are replaced with menthol.The fruits that arise newly are cherries and some citrus and the wood is smoky...Great, full bodied, round rum.👌 9,2:The finish is long a bit more bitter, still creamy and round, dry, dirtier as most of notes from palate linger on with some herbaceous touch..

After 3h breathing in the glass we venture slowly! Undoubtedly a Caroni and what one. Something comes out, tar, bicycle tube the full workshop! Very very deep and dark, brown sugar, mocha! Wow! On the palate, it gets even more, really heavy equipment, tar, mint, bitter and a lot of barrel, it seems partly if he was already over it and the barrel has already taken too much influence, but no, a very big! Incredibly long finish with all the aforementioned influences. A special representative of the 1994 vintage and a very special Caroni that you must have tried as a lover! I am very happy to have tasted this!

little dry and astringent, but it's good not too much woody, also not has the harsh astringency of tannins which were very unbalance and affect the tasting experience. That's just good enough. After all, too many Velier Caroni are dull and severely lacking in flavors.

I love these technical heavy carons! There's rubber, thinner, wood and leather in the aroma. After a sip, one chews the soul off the wheel, wrapped in a pile of wood. A complex, strong rum. 23 years in the tropics gives it incredible maturity. An epic experience!

Distilled in 1994 and aged for 23 years in the tropics before bottling 6642 bottles again at 57.18%. Once again, we know what we're in for: hydrocarbons, caramelized dried fruit, tobacco, vanilla and a reasonable amount of oak for 23 years in the tropics! On the palate, it's less greedy, as the oak is clearly much more present than its smaller brothers. Behind the wood: tar, leather and spices. Having read a lot of negative things about this 36th release, I even expected a palate more marked by charred wood than this. So in the end, I was pleasantly surprised! I'll have the opportunity to go back to it, as I've got a keel lying around in the cellar...

It really must be emphasized once again how unique these Caronis are in the rum world. You really can't find this complexity and heaviness anywhere else. Yes, they are insanely expensive these days, but they are worth every penny. It's great fun to have a rum like this in your glass. If only I had entered the rum world earlier...

Wowww, what an amazing Caroni. Poured into the glass and tasted immediately. Lovely full, heavy notes. Barrel, oak, metallic notes. Leather and a hint of fruit. On advice, let it breathe in the glass for a good long time. That is when you really notice it "opening up". What a delight. Leather, tar, much more caramel, vanilla, and even fruity notes like strawberry. The finish is wonderfully long with vanilla, barrel, fruit, a bit of mint, and black tea as the main flavors. Delightfully full and complex throughout. What a delightful treat.

My first Caroni! Thank you for joining the club. I understand all the enthusiasts. It's very special. Dirty, complex. That's all I want to write. Others are certainly much more experienced. But the price is of course astronomical and in my eyes doesn't justify this great little sip. But others see it differently. Lirumlarum thank you for this fantastic experience

In addition to the typical dirty tar and gum notes, a bitter mint note comes through, certainly not to everyone's taste, but I really like it. It is also very full-bodied and lingers incredibly long in the finish. It also seems a little fresher than other Caronis.

After a reasonable amount of standing time, intense Caroni aromas fill the nose. Wood, caramel, herbs, tobacco, leather and perhaps a little cola. The wood and spices initially dominate the palate. Then the spectrum expands to include caramel, herbs, rubber and a few smoky and bitter notes. The long finish is characterized by the intense, spicy notes, the barrel and the tannins. Leather, herbs and black tea follow and fade out with some rubber and vanilla. The herbal note lingers longer in the mouth. Once again a very good Caroni and well worth experiencing. Thanks to @BananaJoe for the sample ! :)

Yes, the controversial Yellow Caroni. I think he's cool! What a brute nose, its greatest strength. Deep, rich and warm aroma. A terrific combination of dried fruit, banana, coconut and lots of forest honey. Tops! Of course, 23 years of tropical aging is hard to hide, somewhat displacing the distillery character. Nevertheless, the typical Caroni flavor is still noticeably present. In the mouth it becomes very barrel, bitter, toasty, spicy but also sweet, full-bodied, with some cherry. A great Caroni, for which you have to catch but especially in the mouth the right day

Oh yes, intensely spicy, leather, tobacco, vanilla, charred wood. Sulphured and dried fruit, like dried plum. Slightly sour. Some mint comes through. Sweet-spicy-minty on the palate. Very minty with lovage. Iodine and plastic push forward. Sweetness of marzipan added. Slightly bitter woody at the end. Mint remains present in the finish. Here I miss a bit the Caroni-specific dirty note. Still full-bodied though.

A very good classic Caroni. All the expected notes are there, but it lacks a bit of surprise. It's got the tar, the plastic, burnt caramel, wood and menthol. Out of all the ones I've tried in this range, it preformed the least.

The Harvey Dent aka Two-Face among the Caronis. On the nose red berries, plum, grape, mint and geraniums, the bicycle tube/tar notes only subtly in the background. On the palate then a real hit with the big hammer over the head: gasoline, tar, scrap metal and only the burnt residues of that. I like it 😉

On the nose quite fruity but also rubber/old air from a dinghy. In the mouth then nicely strong, slightly nutty? But above all dry and with pronounced bitter wood notes (still pleasant). Long, herbal finish. Alcohol is very well integrated and overall very tasty.
