my french son in law introduced me to this and honestly it blew my mind. Probably the nicest drink i have ever had, such complexity and smoothness. absolutely gorgeous. sadly hard to find, limited stocks and once it's gone it's gone.

Je ne le conseillerais pas aux amateurs de rhums doux. Celui-ci est puissant, assez "pétrole", mais complexe et intéressant.

This is how it should be made. Full of everything -except added sugar.

Little less fruity like the 12 year old, but fantastic rum !

This is a true grown up drink. With an ice cube or two this drink comes alive.
If you like sweet rum give this a miss as this is very different. After trying the other rums and you're expanding your collection this is a very good place to realise what Indy bottlers can produce. A good effort from Velier

Finally been able to get a hold of a bottle of this heavenly nectar.
Its not for those who mainly enjoy sweet, lighter rums, keep that in mind when buying this.
Personally I really enjoy this and was thinking about giving it my first 10 -however I hope I'll find something even better one day.
Rate it the same as the Bristol Classic 1996 Caroni, but enjoy this one slightly more. Not sure if it's the tropical aging vs the European aging or something else.
For me leather, tobacco and some tropical fruits dominate the taste and smell.
Also the 104 proof (52ABV) really works well for me in this rum.

Прекрасный пример ваттинга разных бочек одного из лучших ромов от одного из лучших боттлеров! Безумный аромат свежесрезанного сахарного тростника, фруктовой карамели, стальной стружки и старых специй. Вкус благородный, плотный, слегка брыукчий, но очень приятный!

ØV øv af dette destilleri ikke længere eksisterer, jeg syntes rigtigt godt om denne rom, den virker først lidt skarp, men den har en fantastisk lækker smag.
Der er lækre noter af rosiner og røg.
Jeg har også købt lillebroderen, den 12 års så den glæder jeg mig til at smage.

ce coté goudron peut déplaire si on est pas préparé... je ne l'étais pas!
ce rhum est manifestement pour ceux qui ne veulent pas de rondeur ni de sucre, et qui recherchent du whisky dans leur rhum.
a gouter avant d'acheter!!! (si possible)

Efter at have købt 12-års udgaven måtte jeg eje storebroderen... Her får den lige et nyk op, på kompleksiteten. Super lækker rom som kræver tid og tanker for at udfolde sig.- der gemmer sig så meget godt i flasken!

Aaahhh..... Caroni....eine delikate Leckerei !
Klares Bernstein im Glas, etwas dunkler als der 12er.
Die Nase erkennt den Caroni typischen Duft sofort.
Diese schweren gehaltvollen holzigen Erdtöne, kombiniert mit alten gewachsten Tannenmöbel die in einer verlassenen Autowerkstatt stehen. Späne von frisch gesägtem Holz liegen auf dem öligen Werkstattboden.
Im Gaumen, eine Explosion von Aromen die deine Geschmacksknospen durchdrehen lassen.
Die 52% Vol. fallen bei dieser Aroma Vielfalt nicht ins Gewicht. Gebrannter Karamell klebt an einer rauchig salzigen Fassdaube, hart, ehrlich ohne Kompromisse ! In Petroleum eingetauchte Lakritzenstangen die mit dunkler Schokolade überzogen sind. Reiner Kakao den du von einem alten modrigem Holz leckst. Könnte noch hunderte weiter aufzählen....
Der Abgang zieht sich fast über Stunden hin. Herrlich, so wie man sich das wünscht, dunkle Schokolade, dunkle Früchte, dunkles Holz und vieles mehr.
Ein absolut genialer Rum (9+) für alle die, die die alte, ehrliche Machart von Rum schätzen.
Caroni Rum, die Perlen in meiner Rumsammlung.
Aaahhh ..... Caroni .... a delicious delicacy!
Clear amber in the glass, a bit darker than the 12 yo.
The nose recognizes the Caroni typical scent immediately.
These heavy rich woody earth tones, combined with old waxed fir furniture standing in an abandoned car repair shop. Chips of freshly sawn wood lie on the oily workshop floor.
On the palate, an explosion of flavors that make your taste buds goes mad.
The 52% Vol. Are not significant for this flavor variety. Burnt caramel sticks to a smoky salty stave, hard, honest without compromise! Licorice rods dipped in petroleum and covered with dark chocolate. Pure cocoa that you lick from an old moldy wood. Could list hundreds more ....
The finish goes on for hours. Wonderful, as you would expect, dark chocolate, dark fruits, dark wood and much more.
An absolutely brilliant rum (9+) for all those who appreciate the old, honest style of rum.
Caroni Rum, the pearls in my rum collection.
