Velier Caroni 37th Release Heavy Trinidad Rum Guyana Stock HTR 1994

Most tasters land around "very close to the 36th release," just a touch more intense and roasted. Expect classic Caroni: petrol, leather, dark chocolate and dry cocoa, with red fruit and toffee softening the edges. A few call out real bitterness up front that fades; one found it "a little below" the 62.59 version. Dry, woody, and unmistakably Caroni.

How does Velier Caroni 37th Release Heavy Trinidad Rum Guyana Stock HTR 1994 taste?

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Dry, roasted Caroni with petrol and cocoa A dry, cask-heavy Caroni most rate highly for its chocolate-and-petrol depth. The catch is a firm bitterness some love and some tolerate — and it sits very near its 36th-release sibling.

Very similar to the 36th Release. In direct comparison, a tad more intense and roasty. And slightly less bitter notes.

Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Virtually on par with the yellow version in Navy Strength. Rather dry Caroni with subtle but very charming residual sweetness and plenty of barrel influence, which is undoubtedly intense but does not tip over into bitterness. Exceptionally good.

Almost identical to the 36th release, perhaps a bit more present and intense. Meanwhile, I get along better with the clearly present bitterness and do not find it annoying.

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.
