What a way to end the evening. All bang for your bucks. Thanks to the host for giving us a go at this nice bottle. All the car one flavours are there, it's intense and complex and the roasted notes compliment the overall profile.

Very good representative of the 1994 vintage! In the nasi great Caroni DNA without being too dirty. Then perfectly balanced on the palate with a great bitterness and mint. A real experience!

Legendary release from Velier. It is more or less the same profile as 1994 Guyana Yellow with a way better balanced mouth. Truely amazing 😋

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 620 Rums

No closed distillery is chased harder than Caroni. The Trinidad distillery shut down in the early 2000s 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, even though auction prices for some Velier Caronis have fallen since 2022.
