18-19.02.2022 Going through samples at home. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Intense, light wood, faint smoke, spice, light caramel, faint medicinal. Palate Warm, wood, light roasted, tannins, spice, light caramel, light medicinal, faint plum. Finish Long and warm, wood, light tannins, light medicinal, faint prunes, faint chocolate, light caramel, faint chocolate. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while for the rum to settle and all flavours to be released.

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.
