Velier Caroni Trilogy Guyana Stock Blended Rum 1996
"Caronis you need to try before you die" is how one member frames the whole category, and this 20-year 1996 from Velier earns it. Old varnished wood, tar, leather and overripe tropical fruit, with a hint of milk chocolate underneath. The blend of the Trilogy that a few tasters found the most harmonic — fruity, dirty and pungent at full 66% strength.
- Classic Caroni tar
- Long woody finish
- Overripe tropical fruit

How does Velier Caroni Trilogy Guyana Stock Blended Rum 1996 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Tarry, woody full-strength Caroni for fans Loved as a genuine Caroni, with some calling this blend their personal sweet spot. The honest catch: at 66% the alcohol isn't always perfectly tucked away, and the nose can read spicy and dry.

Review by cigares
Un rhum que j’ai eu la chance de goûter à l’aveugle. J’ai parié sur un blend Caroni, Demerara et Jamaïque. Un nez de vieux bois vernis, des esters discrets, des fruits jaunes et des fruits tropicaux trop mûrs. Une petite hésitation en début de bouche, comme un déséquilibre, puis tout se met en place, les arômes envahissent et emplissent l’espace jusqu’à l’apex. Magnifique ! Puis tout redescend dans une finale super longue, très boisée et pourtant fraîche. Le verre vide est étonnement vif avec un côté frais et un côté vieille corde de chanvre.
Review by Oliver
Top nose. On the palate, however, the alcohol is not ideally integrated in my opinion.
