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. We know this and we are as much a fan as anybody!
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 spell (just over 18 months) in Oloroso Sherry octaves that were previously used to produce the Darkness range of whisky. Would the sherry have an influence on the flavour, or would the heavy Trinidad Rum remain unconquered? Our Batch 14 bottling allows you the opportunity to find out for yourself.

Description

Artwork:
Originally created by Jim’ll Paint It, our Caroni 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 on the roof. A Scarlet Ibis – the national bird of Trinidad – brings a flash of colour.

Tasting Notes by Boutique-y Pete:
Nose: Lots of Bakewell Tart and Army & Navy sweets. Bubble-gum. Port wine, gentle anise, and almonds, rub up against the burnt rubber and diesel-y smoke. Tart Victoria plum skins, raspberry, and loganberry.
Palate: Soft onto the palate, chewy. More anise and almonds. Delicate eucalyptus. A hint of blue cheese.
Finish: Smoky bubble-gum, more mint and eucalyptus, almonds.
