The Bristol Classic Rum 1995 Caroni Finest Trinidad 20yo is a rare and highly sought-after gem from the renowned Caroni distillery, skillfully bottled by Bristol Spirits Ltd. This exceptional rum, distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2015, is one of only 250 bottles in existence, making it a unique find for any rum enthusiast. Aged for a remarkable 20 years—13 of which were spent maturing in the tropical climate of Trinidad, followed by 7 years in the cooler environment of England—this rum showcases a distinctive and complex character. On the nose, it offers a balanced and nuanced aroma with hints of caramel, roasted notes, fruity accents, and woody undertones, complemented by an intriguing scent of rubber. The palate reveals a smooth yet robust profile with prominent flavors of burnt notes, cinnamon, rubber, and overripe fruits, underpinned by woody elements. As it unfolds, you will notice the dark chocolate and perfectly dosed alcohol pushing through. The finish is long and satisfying, characterized by woody, roasted notes, dried fruits, and a touch of dark chocolate. This Bristol Classic Rum is not your typical Caroni; it is lighter on traditional flavors but impressively maintains its potency at 63.1% ABV. It is a cool mix of Caroni and Guyana flavors, with an added layer of complexity due to its unique aging process. A subtle note of aftershave or shaving cream adds an unusual but intriguing twist, making it a memorable experience. Whether you're a seasoned rum aficionado or a newcomer, this rum's rich history, limited availability, and intricate flavor profile make it a worthwhile addition to any collection, best savored on special occasions.
