Rum 23 Years Old 1998-2021 Caroni 70 cl

Description

History

The distillery is historic and has been in operation since 1918, it was the state distillery of Trinidad. In 2001 the government decided to stop the production of sugar cane and therefore also to abandon the distillery. In 2004 Luca Gargano, during a trip to Trinidad with the photographer Fredi Marcarini, came across the disused distillery and glimpsed the incredible potential of that treasure kept inside.

Production method

The rum was distilled in 1998 and then aged for 23 years in ex-sherry whiskey barrels, in a tropical climate.

Alcohol content

59%

Tasting notes

Rum capable of detaching from others; although the traditional tarry and strongly tannic taste of the distillery is very perceptible, (this is especially due to its early years of accelerated maturation in oak in a tropical climate) the rum was allowed to “relax” with the refinement of seven years in ex-sherry whiskey barrels. The result is still dark and extreme, with classic notes of black licorice, anise and coffee, but with an intriguing extra layer of juicy fruitiness, cookies and raisins.

Usage

Perfect rum for special occasions.
