How does Velier Caroni Paradise #10 1998 taste?
Massive, dirty, luxurious 1998 Caroni
If you already enjoy heavy Caroni or high-ester monsters, this is a must-try: it condenses the classic 1998 profile into a dense, powerful, surprisingly balanced package.
Beginners, those sensitive to very high ABV, or buyers looking for gentle, budget-friendly sippers rather than intense, pricey cult bottlings.

Whisky Live Paris 2024 (Messebewertung, nur Gesamtnote und persönliche Kaufempfehlung): Eines meiner persönlichen Highlights der Messe, was aber irgendwie auch zu erwarten war. Würde gerne eine Flasche haben, aber der Preis… Den Preis berücksichtige ich aber bewusst nicht in der Bewertung.
#4932 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Medium intense, wood, faint roasted, light rubber, light tar, light cherry, faint mint, light citrus. Palate Balanced, round, wood, faint smoke, light dried fruit, faint mint, faint chocolate, light tar, light rubber, faint leather. Finish Long, balanced, smooth, wood, faint smoke, light tar, light rubber, faint mint, faint caramel. A very nice Caroni but the price tag is out of this world 😊
Richtig guter 98er! Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden!
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting - Extra Time 2024: Powerful nose, with the intensity typical of the 1998 vintage. Varnish, petrol, tar on the dirty side, plus wood, dark spices and fruity notes reminiscent of ripe tropical fruit. Very subtle minty notes on the finish. The alcohol is well integrated, but the release remains somewhat scratchy and demanding. A very good representative of the 1998 vintage.
