The Bristol Classic 1999 Caroni 20yo is a premium rum with an alcohol content of 43%, presented in a 700ml bottle. This exceptional rum hails from the iconic Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago, known for its distinctive industrial aromas. Aged for two decades, this rare rum offers a uniquely balanced and indulgent experience. Initially matured for 10 years in the tropical climate of Trinidad, it was subsequently aged for another 10 years in England under a continental climate, before being expertly bottled by Bristol Spirits. This single barrel rum reveals a complex bouquet of rubber, dried fruits, and carbonized old wood, releasing fresh resinous notes. As it breathes, the spirit opens up to luscious flavors of quince paste and very ripe pineapple, interspersed with tar, oil, and subtler fruity notes of banana, overripe mango, and slightly oxidized apple. The rum’s smooth and serene character is interlaced with a candied essence, enhanced by a slight vegetal, medicinal, and mentholated freshness, reminiscent of a resin-laden tree. This unique blend of aromas and flavors makes the Bristol Classic 1999 Caroni 20yo a truly remarkable addition to any rum enthusiast's collection.
