The Velier Caroni 1994 High Proof Heavy Trinidad 17-year-old rum is a legendary release from one of the most iconic vintages of the closed Caroni distillery. A limited release with only 7,142 bottles, this exceptional rum was aged for 17 years, with part of its maturation taking place in Guyana. Boasting a robust 52% ABV, this molasses-based rum offers a multifaceted experience that captivates both connoisseurs and collectors. The label features a portrait of a man with a straw hat harvesting sugar cane in Trinidad, evoking the Caribbean spirit. This Caroni rum stands out with its complex and unique profile. On the nose, it presents an enticing bouquet of dirty, fruity, and menthol notes, with hints of rubber, solvents, varnish, mango, and anise. The palate showcases a rich blend of leather, spice, and dirtiness, intertwined with mango, burnt sugar, passion fruit, coffee, and iodine. Described as perfectly rounded and complex, its finish is warm and slightly drying, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, mango, wood, and tropical fruit, complemented by clove, anise, licorice, and dried fruit. Despite the slight dilution to 52% ABV, the Velier Caroni 1994 remains an exceptional find among Caroni releases, offering a top-tier rum experience that truly captures the essence of a classic Caroni vintage.
