Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023 / Golden Circle Caroni Paradise Tasting 2024: Rather dry, tart but very aromatic. Great complexity, displays all the notes of the 96 Trinidad stock in top form and convinces overall. Sensational quality, a pleasure.

Extremely good nose! The palate is intense and complex. Maybe a tad too dry, but that's complaining at the highest level.

Distillery

Caroni 

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 610 Rums

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.
