Blackadder 12yo Caroni Trinidad 46% 700ml is an exceptional rum distilled at the renowned Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Bottled by the esteemed Blackadder brand, this 12-year-old rum is a testament to the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of both the distillery and the bottler. Limited to only 1368 bottles, this exquisite rum offers a unique experience for connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The nose is a delightful blend of indulgent and fruity aromas, featuring notes of caramelized bananas, flambéed coconuts, and a whisper of tar and solvents. The palate, while slightly overshadowed by the nose, remains pleasant with subtle hints of caramel, spicy warmth, and gentle woody undertones. The finish is relatively short, leaving behind traces of spices and wood. This dark gold rum embodies the tropical essence of Trinidad, with fruity aromas that evoke the sense of Barbados. It showcases flavors of mangoes, roasted pineapples, polished wood, lemons, blood oranges, grapefruits, rubber, leather, and subtle hints of engine oil. With a slightly fluid texture but strong aromatic presence, it reveals tropical fruits like mangoes, papayas, apricots, and peaches, alongside roasted coconuts and caramel typical of Caroni rums. The mid-long finish provides a warm sensation with hints of honey, tobacco, leather, smoke, and vanilla. Part of the Blackadder Raw Cask series, known for its consistent quality, this rum is a fantastic entry point into the world of Caroni rums, offering a balanced contrast between heavy-bodied rums and reductions. The Caroni 12yo is praised for its complexity, charm, and well-balanced flavors, making it an excellent choice for a leisurely evening.
