Caroni 2000/2026 Trinidad - Paradise #17 - Barrel #4026

Special Features: The Caroni 2000/2026 Trinidad - Paradise #17 - Barrel #4026 comes from the closed Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago and is an original bottling with an alcohol content of 61%. The rum was initially aged in Trinidad until 2019 and then transferred into three demijohns before being further aged in Cognac at Caroni Paradise. This bottling showcases the distinctive Caroni identity and is offered in gift packaging. Due to the closure of the distillery in 2003, such bottlings are rare and sought after.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose offers dense and complex aromas with notes of soot, tar, light hydrocarbons, and iodine tincture that emphasize the Caroni identity. Warm impressions of dried fruits like walnuts, chestnuts, and almonds, as well as exotic fruits like kaffir lime, mango, banana, and pineapple, complement the profile.
• Palate: The palate presents a lean and characterful taste with hints of freshly cut licorice, petroleum, and animal notes. After aeration, bourbon vanilla, cloves, and fresh ginger emerge, creating a lively and velvety texture.
• Finish: The finish is full-bodied and concentrated with mineral and medicinal notes. Citrus notes develop from lemon to orange peel, accompanied by lichen and dry leaves, supported by a honey and floral accent, leaving a deeply marked impression of the Caroni identity.

Distillery/Bottler: The Caroni Distillery was known for its distinctive rum until its closure in 2003. The bottler Velier specializes in offering rare drops from closed distilleries, often at cask strength and not chill-filtered. This bottling highlights the high quality and authenticity associated with the name Caroni. The unique product is presented as part of the Paradise #17 Edition.
