Experience the captivating essence of the Berry Bros. & Rudd 1997 Caroni Whisk-E 20yo, a distinctive rum hailing from the legendary Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. This limited edition spirit, bottled in 2017, reflects over two decades of maturation, resulting in an alluring complexity. With an ABV of 57%, this 700ml bottle unveils a mesmerizing dance between tropical fruits and robust, earthy undertones. On the nose, expect a medley of roasted notes intertwined with tropical fruits like overripe mango and citrus, enhanced by subtle hints of polish and tar. Despite its high alcohol content that might sometimes overshadow its more intricate layers, the aroma remains inviting. Upon tasting, the rum offers a delightful sweetness imbued with caramel and burnt flavors, complemented by nuanced hints of rubber, almonds, and barrel notes. Although some may find the palate slightly flat compared to other Caroni releases, the harmonious balancing of these elements creates an enjoyable experience. The finish is long and evocative, dominated by roasted and astringent notes, with lingering impressions of tar, citrus, and rubber. This multifaceted rum continues to evolve in the glass, offering a deeper and more mature profile as it interacts with the air. Berry Bros. & Rudd, renowned for their storied history in wine and spirits, have beautifully captured the essence of Caroni's unique character in this expression. Despite varying opinions on the integration of alcohol, this rum remains a testament to the rich heritage and innovative spirit of the Caroni Distillery.
