Caroni Rum 1997 - 16 year old
70cl
46%
Distilled in Trinidad Island
Single Cask Number 16
Bottle Number 188 of 290

Nose: very aromatic, with overripe banana and cinnamon sweetness as the first impressions. Then some marzipan and caramel. Typical Caroni hints of engine oil and tar as well. Plenty of vanilla. Whiffs of mint. Very nice.
Mouth: pretty austere. Some oak resin mixed with earthy notes (dried mushrooms) and leather. Again a tarry note and something slightly medicinal. Some liquorice and spices. Burnt sugar too.
Finish: long, bold and tarry with a salty twist and whiffs of cinnamon. Good, slightly heavy rum with some unique traces of cognac and Islay-style aromas.

Caroni is closed but luckily we¡¦ll be able to enjoy it during the years to come.
