I was lucky to get a sip of this very rare and limited rum when I went big shopping yesterday. Only 200 bottles were made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Michael Madsen (40 years in the industry). Very complex and well balanced, typical Trinidadian rum. Full bodied and warm on the finish with a touch of vanilla. High priced because of the rarity, but still an extremely nice sip.

Avg Rating 8.8/10 over 620 Rums

No closed distillery is chased harder than Caroni. The Trinidad distillery shut down around 2002 and not a drop has been made since, but its heavy, oily, almost diesel-like rum became a collector obsession, carried to the world by Velier. Every bottle now comes from a finite, shrinking stock, which is exactly why the prices keep climbing.
