Caroni 1996/2025 Trinidad - Paradise #12 - Barrel #5627

Special features: This Caroni rum was distilled in 1996 at the legendary Caroni distillery in Trinidad and initially aged for 23 years in the tropical climate of Trinidad and Tobago. In 2019, it was transported to France and further aged in glass demijohns in the Cognac region. It was bottled in 2025 in a limited edition of only 234 bottles.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: An intense bouquet of dark chocolate, slate, orange peel, ripe mango, incense, diesel, wax, furniture polish, dried coriander, yellow peach, Russian leather, iodine tincture, dried apricot, grilled walnut, and orris butter.
• Palate: Lively and well-rounded with flavors of gasoline, enchanting floral notes (geranium, vetiver), licorice, herbal infusions (black tea), menthol, chocolate, and plenty of fruits (jam, persimmon).
• Finish: Long and concentrated with notes of sandalwood, incense, and polished furniture wood, followed by wonderful aromas of weathered wood (rosewood). Elegant notes of praline, ripe mango, cocoa bean, and sandpaper give the retro-nasal scent length and complexity.

Distillery/Bottler: The Caroni distillery was founded in 1918 and was known for its heavy, complex rums. After its closure in 2003, Luca Gargano from Velier acquired numerous casks to preserve the heritage of this unique distillery and make it accessible to the world.
