A Trinidadian treat from That Boutique-y Rum Company, it's a cask-strength traditional column still rum from Caroni, which sadly closed its doors back in 2002. Stocks of Caroni's heavy, aged rum are much sought after these days, and generally left untouched before bottling, however, something different lay in store for this one. Y'see, the folks over at That Boutique-y Whisky Company were putting together a World of Smoke series, which got the Boutique-y Rum gang thinking about how a big, bold 20-year-old rum like this might handle a short spell in a peaty Islay whisky cask! Very well indeed it turns out.
Batch 17 is a release of 450 bottles.
Bold tannic oak and thick molasses lead to burnt gingerbread and chocolate muffins. A hint of burnt rubber and warm tarmac join dark toffee and toasted spices, with a sweet, meaty note of Frazzles developing in time.
Candy floss, drying oak char, blackberry jam, caramelised brown sugar, and bitter chocolate. Leather, and trickles of oily molasses cushion fragrant peppery spice.
Chewy spices linger, with rich oak and barbecued tropical fruit, salted caramel, and baba au rhum. The peat influence doesn't overpower, but it's there, seasoning everything with hints of charcoal, green pepper, and earthy smoked tea.
