Pour moi.. De loin le meilleur des caroni ! Avec sa petite sœur réduite.. Ayant eu la chance pouvoir avoir déguster plus de 8/10 des sorties caroni.. "la vache" reviendra toujours en tête de liste.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
In a dmfew words elegant and complex Caroni with very nice fruit and traditional Caroni flavours.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A superb Caroni, more gourmand than the High Proof, which makes it a little better! The nose is magnificent, with great complexity! The palate is fresh, despite the years of ageing. Very long finish.
Review by Oliver
Insanely harmonious and at the same time complex nose! The palate is creamy, complex and intense. Exceptional Caroni!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A true Caroni Masterclass. On the nose, there's the typical heavy profile of tar, rubber, menthol, leather and spices, but exotic fruit and citrus add an exquisite sweetness to the olfactory profile, to which solvents and a touch of caramel are added for a complete, complex and intense result. The palate is divine, perfectly combining the smoky, solvent and hydrocarbon profile on one side with the fruit and caramel sweetness on the other. It's oily, dirty, but also powerful, subtle and very complex. The finish is endless, with spicy aromas, tar, caramel, menthol and tropical fruit. A true Trinidad gem.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: must be a 92. Again a top representative of a top vintage!
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Heute wurde die höherprozentige Kuh ins Rennen geschickt. Vom Profil her nicht wirklich vergleichbar mit seinem Zwillingsbruder. Deutlich würziger, weniger Fruchtigkeit. Durch den höheren Alkoholgehalt ist der Abgang etwas länger. Sehr lecker, ich würde trotzdem den 55% vorziehen.
Review by Jakob
Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Ausgezeichneter Vertreter der tropischen Caronis. Typische Caroni-HTR-Noten voller Gummi und Teer, Süsse, Holz, Würzigkeit - ein weiterer Beleg für den ausgezeichneten Jahrgang 1992.
