Cadenhead's 1998 Cask Strength HTR 18yo 65.8% 700ml is a limited edition rum from the renowned Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Released in celebration of Cadenhead's 175th anniversary, this exceptional rum was distilled in December 1998 and bottled in the summer of 2017, making it an 18-year-old treasure. With only 228 bottles available, this single cask edition is a rare find, especially noted for its "Heavy Trinidad Rum" (HTR) profile. The Caroni distillery, which closed its doors in 2003, has since become legendary for its intense, heavy, high ester rums. This particular expression, distilled using a pot still, carries the distinct Caroni DNA with its robust, oily viscosity and a rich tawny color. On the nose, expect a full-bodied, sweet aroma accented by notes of rubber, dried fruit, tar, roasted wood, leather, and toffee. The palate does not disappoint, offering a complex, spicy, and oily experience with flavors of exotic fruits, paint, tar, licorice, espresso, and a hint of mint. The finish is intensely long, spicy, and herbal with a balance of sweetness and bitterness, leaving a lasting impression of tobacco and nutty undertones. Overall, Cadenhead's 1998 Cask Strength HTR 18yo is celebrated for its authenticity and exceptional quality, making it a highly sought-after release among rum enthusiasts. Despite its high ABV of 65.8%, it is remarkably balanced and mild, showcasing the best of traditional Caroni flavors.
