#4999 25.12.2024 Enjoying two good samples to celebrate tasting number 5000. Nose Wood, light roasted, balanced, faint tar, light rubber, light cherry, light menthol. Palate Round, wood, balanced, light tannins, dried fruit, faint tar, light rubber, smoke, light cherry, light spicy, petrol. Finish Very long and warm, light spicy, wood, light tannins, faint chocolate, light dried fruit, light petrol. The empty glass has a light sour note as well as light citrus and light menthol. Needs to rest for a good while to really settle properly. Draws really nice curtains in the glass.

Nose well marked by hydrocarbons. Nice burnt, watery woodiness. Overcooked vanilla. Tropical fruits jammy in the pan. On the palate, garage oils, caramel, overcooked mango, slight menthol veil. N.B. re-tasted at Rhum Fest 2025. Compared with everything else on offer on the stands, I give it an extra +0.1 point, it was a juice above the rest, by a long way. Candied and jammy fruits, evolving, rather atypical, sweet, the hydrocarbon side present but always in the background. A lovely Caroni 99.

This set is just wow 🤩🤩 I gave it a good airing of at least half an hour, because without that it was a bit feisty. The Caroni distillery markers are clearly present. Nice fruit basket, a little dirty side, slight touch of menthol, but which remains discreet. pure happiness 😍😍 Very nice tasting, beautiful, length and integration of alcohol. the note is deserved

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 620 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.
