The Velier Royal Navy Very Old Rum is an extraordinary blend of rum sourced from the renowned Caroni distillery in Trinidad, Guyana, and Jamaica. Bottled by the Italian company Velier, this rum boasts a remarkable alcohol content of 57.18%, making it an exquisite choice for rum connoisseurs seeking a bold and authentic flavor profile.
The nose of this rum is immediately captivating, featuring prominent notes of hydrocarbons characteristic of Caroni rum. However, this is a balanced expression of Caroni, not overly industrial, providing a robust foundation for the subsequent pastry and butter notes. You'll encounter sophisticated hints of almond and nuts, tea and herbal infusions, and spices such as cardamom and cinnamon.
On the palate, the rum reveals its complexity and density with a well-controlled and balanced attack. A slight metallic hint evokes the image of a copper mold filled with rich pastry, prunes, cocoa, and nuts. The intensity of the spices dominates the mid-palate, blending with a block of brown sugar still sticky with molasses and caramel, trapping roasted nuts within. The finish is long and satisfying, featuring notes of medicinal wood and toasted minerals.
This rum is the culmination of a meticulous blending process that includes a Caroni rum aged for over 20 years, rums from Guyana aged for at least 15 years, and a Jamaican pot still rum aged for over 12 years. The result is a complex and intense blend of rich rums, offering the depth and intricacy that one would expect from a high-quality assemblage.

The reviews for the Velier Royal Navy Very Old Caribbean Blend are overwhelmingly positive. Connoisseurs appreciate its harmonious blend where each contributing rum brings its distinct character. The nose is frequently noted for its Jamaican funk, Guyana's roundness, and Caroni's smoky, industrial notes. On the palate, reviewers remark on its rich complexity, featuring woody, smoky, and spicy elements with a background of floral and fruity notes. The finish is long, with persistent empyreumatic aromas and a hint of bitterness akin to dark chocolate and dried fruits. While some find it less complex than other offerings like the Navy Shark, many agree that it stands out for its well-integrated alcohol and overall high quality. Overall, it is considered a powerful, somewhat bold rum but undeniably top-tier in quality.
