Caroni 21 Year Old 1997 (cask 181) - Exceptional Casks (Berry Bros. & Rudd)
This smashing rum hails from closed distillery in Trinidad, Caroni! Distilled in 1997, just five years before it closed, the rum then spent over two decades maturing in a single refill barrel. When it reached 21 years of age, Berry Bros. & Rudd cracked open the cask for its Exceptional Cask series, with a release of 231 bottles at 60.4% ABV. A wonderfully rare expression.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
This deep golden rum brims with sweet, rich fruity aromas countered by zesty lemon and lime, some treacle toffee and cloves.
Palate
The wonderfully succulent honeyed palate delivers continuous waves of rich dark toffee flavours edged with some smokiness and green banana.
Finish
A little oak shines through to offer some balancing tannin. Caroni distillery closed a few years ago so enjoy this exotic rarity while you still can.
