The Bellamy's Reserve 1998 Trinidad Caroni 23yo is a distinguished rum from Trinidad's renowned Caroni distillery, expertly bottled by Perola. This limited release was distilled from molasses using a column still in 1998 and has been meticulously aged for 23 years, being bottled in 2021. With an ABV of 64%, this cask strength rum is not for the faint-hearted and promises a memorable and satisfying experience. Limited to just 248 bottles, it boasts a well-balanced profile, featuring distinctive notes of rubber, tropical fruit, vanilla, and woodiness on the nose, while the palate reveals flavors of tar, leather, and a unique blend of smoky and fruity aromas. The finish is long and complex, leaving lingering notes of mint, cherry, and dry, herbal nuances. This rum is often praised for its harmonious blend of dirty and fruity tones, making it an excellent introduction to the world of Caroni rums. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious newcomer, this Bellamy's Reserve release offers a delicious and intense Caroni experience.
This rum is unique due to its long 23-year aging process, limited release of only 248 bottles, and its complex flavor profile that balances notes of tar, rubber, tropical fruits, and astringent mintiness, all at a robust 64% ABV.
The high ABV of 64% enhances the intensity of the flavors, driving the complex notes of tar, rubber, tropical fruits, and menthol directly to the palate, creating a flavorful and bold experience.
Despite its bold flavors and high ABV, the Bellamy's Reserve 1998 Trinidad Caroni 23yo is considered a fantastic entry into the world of Caroni rums due to its well-integrated alcohol and balanced profile of both dirty and fruity notes.
As a rum enthusiast, I find the Bellamy's Reserve 1998 Trinidad Caroni 23yo to be a remarkable representation of Caroni's distinct style.

Its high ABV is impressively integrated, making it a delightful experience for both new and seasoned rum lovers.
