Caroni 25 Year Old - Forgotten Gems
This magnificent rarity from Trinidad's iconic, and sadly long-lost Caroni distillery joins the collection from indie bottler Forgotten Gems. The rum matured for a total of 25 years, including a finish in first-fill oloroso sherry casks. There are 122 bottles in this batch, boasting a hearty ABV of 61%.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Robust tannic, oily oak and old leather, treacle toffee, waxed oranges, vanilla cream and burnt sugar. Balsamic poached stone fruits develop in time, with dense caramel and drying, woody spice.
Palate
Bold, dense old oak, candied nuts, dates, and sticky ginger cake, with thick, oily molasses, flamed citrus, cinder toffee, and chocolate.
Finish
Drying oak, peppercorn warmth, treacle, toasted vanilla, leather, and tobacco, with a dusting of nutmeg and a whisper of cassis at the end.
