“Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Exquisite and stylish HTR representative from 1996. Rich sweetness with powerful gum and tar notes. Balanced, quaffable, yet with rough edges. My personal favorite in the Employees series.”

“An extraordinary Caroni! For me, a real highlight from the Employee series. However, it has a tad too much bite for a top rating.”

“Had a very nice Caroni tasting yesterday and what a tasting :-) This one had all the typical Caroni flavours in it while also being heavy, intense and complex. When it was released the bottle wasn't too expensive but the prices have already skyrocketed.”
