Needs a very long time in the glass, at least 1 hour. Sees rounder but also unspectacular Caroni.

9.0/10

This is a great Rattray in my mind. From the moment you open the bottle you know that this is a Caroni. The nose is heavy with runner, varnish and tar but there is also a tiny bit of fruit and vanilla. The palate is heavy as well though a bit more fruity than the nose. The rubber and polish is there with some fruits, caramel and spices. In the back i get a floral note. The finish is extremely long with barrel, tannins, spices and rubber in the back.

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.
