Detailed Description
nCaroni was shut down in 2002 as Trinidad’s state distillery. Since then, their stock has been used for blends. Good lordy, what a shame! Luckily Italian bottler Velier has put this closed distillery back on the radar of rum lovers around the world. This high proof rum is bottled at 55.0% ABV. It’s a beast!

Velier Caroni 2000 Rum Tasting Notes
nNose: The nose is quite amazing for a caroni. The hydrocarbon notes tend towards aromas of roasted coffee and dried fruits.
n
nPalate: The attack also surprises on a fruity acidity, lime, and very quickly appear medicinal notes reminiscent of eucalyptus. It is only after we come this coffee and notes of nuts giving a slight bitterness welcome.
n
nFinish: Surprisingly, the length in the mouth develops a gluttony less visible during the tasting making me think that once the bottle shouldered, the oxygenation in the bottle will win the juice in roundness.
