Prunes, dark chocolate and a whiff of anise, over a soft caramel-and-vanilla sweetness that comes from the oak, not sugar. This is an unusually gentle Caroni — several tasters note the tar, petrol and rubber are mostly absent, replaced by berry fruit and florals. It needs time in the glass to open. At 61.7% the alcohol isn't always fully tucked in.
The community says- Complex, layered nose
- Fruity and soft
- But: Little classic Caroni funk

How does Velier Caroni Blended Trinidad Rum 1991 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Soft, fruity Caroni light on the tar A softer, fruitier Caroni that many love, though fans of the classic tar-and-petrol style find it almost too tame. The high proof can read a touch hot.

Review by Jakob
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Exciting flavor profile with sweetness from the oak (vanilla, caramel, chocolate), plus subtle tropical fruits (mango), spicy bitterness and typical HTR notes (tar, petrol, rubber).
Review by Oliver
Excellent Caroni with a very nice sweetness. Almost a noble dessert. The alcohol could be better integrated on the palate.
Review by Johannes
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: soapy, floral, mild, hardly any Caroni DNA, a little too neutral.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
29.01.2022 The big Caroni tasting with old rum buddies, good food, snacks and a lot of talking about old times. Notes Medium dark to dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, spice, light caramel, plum, faint anise. Palate Well rounded, naturally sweet, wood, light roasted, plum, raisin, light chocolate, light mint. Finish Medium to long, naturally sweet, wood, light smoke, mint, roasted, faint licorice.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Quite vanilla bourbon, not dirty but very accessible in the profile and on the Caroni spectrum. Clearly the victor compared directly to The Duchess 1991 Nautilus.
Review by Mopar Rules
a real flash on the nose. Very complex and an amazing range of different flavors. It takes a while breathing in the glass before it opens up. Then there is a complexity of herbal, roast and wood aromas with a decent hint of dried fruits. Licorice is the only flavor I can spot that keeps up with the Coroni myth. It doesn’t held the promise on the palate. But of course it’s still a complex rum. Dried fruits, fennel and Eucalyptus, malt, roast aromas. And a subtle sweetness. I wonder if it might reach a higher level with a bit of sugar. Don’t kill me, but like salt in the kitchen sugar helps pushing the flavors. Have a look at the old Zacapas.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Sweet and full Caroni. Forget extra technical taste. ... Caroni is a distillery from Trinidad, producing at the height of its glory a rum that was added in a ratio of 1:10 to the naval blend. It was too strong and strange to be pleasant on the tongue. The distillery ended production and closed in 2000. Only in 2010 did tasters appear who liked the rum precisely for its special taste. And interest grew. Caroni belongs to the category of rums "you need to try before you die." I recommend it, Caroni is truly a unique rum.
Review by Rum_Freund
What a great rum! Nice sweetness with lots of fruit and less typical Caroni notes, still a really tasty rum.

Very unusual Caroni. Almost no notes of petrol in it, but berry fruits and flowers.
