The Berry Bros. & Rudd Trinidad 19yo rum is a true gem for any rum aficionado. With an ABV of 46%, this exceptional spirit has been meticulously aged for 19 years, having been distilled in 1997. It hails from the now-closed Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago, a name that carries a legendary status among rum enthusiasts. Bottled by the distinguished British merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd, this rum reflects the mastery and tradition for which the brand is renowned. On the nose, this distinguished rum opens with a smooth varnish and a sweetness that leans towards leather rather than tar, making it immediately captivating. The aroma then unfolds with intriguing metallic and earthy notes, showcasing its layered complexity. As you delve deeper, the scent evolves into a fruity bouquet featuring quince, pineapple, and passion fruit, while the leather and tar notes resurface in waves. These exotic aromas achieve a remarkable balance, blending the scent of an oxidized apple with the rich essence of a tropical forest, where humus and tree bark mingle. Notably, toasted oak adds a pleasing touch with hints of almond and toasted notes. Upon tasting, the initial attack surprises with its gentleness, embellished by a slight saltiness. The tar notes transition to a more oxidized character, complemented by satisfying flavors of copper and tanned leather. Grilled wood and smoked meat nuances add depth to the profile, while the balance of oak and spices is exceptional. Exotic fruits navigate between oxidation and fermentation in a complex, powder keg-like atmosphere. The Caroni profile is superbly showcased in this rum, contributing to its exoticism and aromatic concentration, all while maintaining an accessible smoothness and softness. This is a unique and remarkable rum that stands out as a must-have for every connoisseur's collection.
