That Boutique Y Rum Company Trinidad Caroni Distillery 20 Years Islay Cask Finish Batch 17 63%Vol
€199,50
The famed Caroni Distillery closed in 2002 and brought with it the end of ‘heavy’ rum production in Trinidad. The ever-dwindling stocks become ever more desirable for collectors and Rum enthusiasts alike.
Such heavy iconic Rum is generally left in the original casks, and released untouched, but here at Boutique-y Rum HQ, we couldn’t help but wonder what Caroni would taste like if it spent a short spell in a peaty whisky cask from Islay. Our Batch 17 was distilled in 1998, spending some time in Trinidad before being moved to the UK. A further maturation was curtailed at the twenty-year mark, before spending time in neutral containers, before and after the time in the Islay whisky cask.

Description
Artwork:
The Label: Created by Jim’ll Paint It, the label shows an image of one of the distillery’s maturation warehouses. The warehouse is visibly run down and abandoned – with sugar cane growing all around it, with a few canes taking root in the walls and roof – the smoky, burning casks in the foreground nod to our Boutique-y efforts.
Tasting Notes by Boutique-y Pete:
Nose: Typical Caroni notes of burnt rubber and tarmac run alongside smoked rosemary, black olive and blackcurrant jam.
Palate: Initially soft and sweet onto the palate, a big blackberry jelly and gentle oak mouthful.
Finish: Tannic oaky grip. Green capsicum, smoked tea, and bitter chocolate.
