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
  • Keep in mind: Little classic Caroni funk

The look inside the bottle

How does Velier Caroni Blended Trinidad Rum 1991 taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

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.

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).

Excellent Caroni with a very nice sweetness. Almost a noble dessert. The alcohol could be better integrated on the palate.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: soapy, floral, mild, hardly any Caroni DNA, a little too neutral.

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.

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.

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.

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