"Rum Sponge? But I thought it was Whisky Sponge?!" we hear you say, referencing the popular internet-based blog website. Well, people can try different things, and so can anthropomorphic sponges. Hence, Rum Sponge. Anyway, this is a collaborative indie bottling from Rum Sponge and Decadent Drinks, and it's a cracking Caroni rum, distilled in 1997! The rums from Trinidad's closed Caroni Distillery are much-loved indeed, though sadly they're rather hard to come by as well. This particular bottling is one of two, with this one having been brought down to 48.5% ABV (as hinted to by the sponge on the label being all absorbent, as sponges are wont to be).
Roasted almonds, salted liquorice, redcurrant, tangy citrus, dry cedar with spicy hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, espresso.
