“#4219 19.08.2023 we had our yearly meeting among old friends. When we do this once a year its without partners, cellphones and other gadgets. Just some nice rums, a piece of paper and a pen and most fun of all, a blind tasting. The theme of 2023 was Caroni and we had a great time and spend no less then 10 hours talking and tasting. This one was not my favourite it was not that well balanced. Lightly fruity with a leather note. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some nougat and very light chocolate.”

“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting: Sehr verdünnt, wenige Caroni-Noten, süffig, wenig Komplexität, schmeckt fast wie ein Spanier.”

“Erinnert an einen „Light Caroni“. Lecker und extrem süffig. Original-Abfllung für den Markt in Trinidad. Flüssige Geschichte.”
