The Blackadder 1997 Raw Cask Trinidad Caroni Rum 18-year-old, with a high ABV of 63.1% and a 700ml bottle size, is a standout in the world of Caroni rums from 1997. This rum is a limited release, with only 238 bottles produced, highlighting its exclusivity. Distilled in 1997 at the iconic Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago and bottled in 2016 by Blackadder, it is an expression that offers an intense and multifaceted tasting experience.
From the moment you open the bottle, you are greeted with the quintessential Caroni nose filled with inner tube, tar, and fuel aromas, accompanied by sweet notes of caramel and raisins. The palate is complex and robust, presenting layers of varnish, roasted flavors, and menthol, balanced by a sweet-spicy character. Finishing with a lingering taste, this rum leaves woody and rubber notes, alongside hints of roasted flavors and a surprising touch of chocolate.
The Blackadder 1997 Raw Cask Trinidad Caroni Rum 18yo stands as a testament to Blackadder's commitment to quality and diversity. Known for their consistency in delivering high-quality spirits, Blackadder has impressed rum enthusiasts with other notable releases such as the Enmore VSG 1996-2012, the Belvedere 1998-2016, the Guyana 2003-2017 Port Mourant, and the Hampden 2000-2017. Each bottle, including this Caroni release, presents unique characteristics that cater to a wide range of tastes, making Blackadder a brand to watch for those in search of exceptional rums.
This rum is special due to its limited release with only 238 bottles produced, its high ABV of 63.1%, and its distinct Caroni flavor profile characterized by notes of inner tube, tar, and fuel, balanced with sweet and roasted flavors.
