The Heavy Trinidad Rum is a 23-year-old gem produced at the legendary Caroni distillery in Trinidad and selected and bottled by the esteemed independent bottler, C. Dully Selection. Distilled from molasses in 1998 and aged meticulously for 23 years, this exquisite release is limited to just 280 bottles and boasts a robust ABV of 54.2%. This rare rum captivates the senses with a complex and enticing profile, offering a symphony of aromas including rich tropical fruits like papaya, passion fruit, and kiwi, complemented by notes of rubber, vanilla, solvents, and green apple. The palate unveils a unique blend of tar, leather, spices, tobacco, and solvents, delivering a slightly smoky and harmonious experience that manages to balance fruity sweetness with the characteristic "dirty" notes of Caroni. This makes it an easy-sipping Caroni, slightly milder than some of its Velier counterparts but still sophisticated and captivating, making it a must-have for rum connoisseurs.
This rum is unique due to its 23-year aging process, limited release of only 280 bottles, and its complex profile of fruity and "dirty" notes, making it a distinctive and highly sought-after Caroni expression.
