The Bristol Classic Reserve Trinidad 10-year-old rum is a distinguished selection crafted by the renowned Bristol Classic Rum. Distilled at the historic Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago, this rum embodies the rich heritage and unique character of its origin. Aged for a minimum of ten years in Trinidad before being shipped to Europe, it spent an additional six to seven years in former Sherry casks. This meticulous aging process, although marked as 10 years, spans a total of 21-24 years, resulting in an extraordinary rum with deep complexity and multifaceted flavors. On the nose, this rum presents a discreet yet captivating aroma with strong Sherry notes, complemented by hints of leather, toffee, tropical fruits like banana, and roasted almonds. The palate is smooth and creamy, delivering flavors of toffee, dark stone fruits, and wood, with a mild to medium intensity. A lingering bitterness with undertones of old, musty wood and a hint of nuttiness emerges, adding depth to the tasting experience. The finish is medium-length, with a whisper of bitter aftertaste and a presence of dried fruits, woody notes, and a touch of red fruits and Sherry. The Bristol Classic Reserve Trinidad 10yo is an unconventional but highly enjoyable representative of the Caroni family. It offers a balance of caramel sweetness and Sherry influence, creating a unique and satisfying sip for rum enthusiasts.
