Tasting Gang was the penultimate edition in the regular release programme for Caroni rum by Velier before it would move onto different serialised outturns. The name refers to a group of 24 Caroni lovers who met in Cognac, France in 2019 to sample the last 139 barrels of stock held by Velier.
This is a vatting of 22 casks of both heavy and light style rums.
