Bourbon
Another great independently-bottled rum from House of Rum. This comes from Trinidad Distillers Ltd., the company behind Angostura rum and since the closure of Caroni in 2003, the only distillery in Trinidad & Tobago. It was distilled from molasses in a column still in 2012 and spent nine years of tropical ageing in Trinidad in bourbon barrels followed by three years of ageing in the UK in bourbon casks before bottling at in 2023 at 64.3% ABV.
Stone fruit and pineapple with vanilla, toffee, and spice.
Exuberantly fruity on the palate: apricots, pineapples and a little green banana. Lovely freshness and vibrancy here.
Bittersweet apricots and almonds.
