This exquisite offering from Compagnie des Indes, the 1994 Trinidad 21yo, is a rare gem hailing from the esteemed Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2015, this rum has spent 21 years maturing to perfection. With an ABV of 57.8%, it is a robust spirit intended for true connoisseurs. Limited to just 217 bottles, this unique rum exhibits a profound complexity and intensity. Upon opening, you'll encounter a compelling aroma profile that evokes a mixture of solvents, camphor, and chemical notes, intertwined with traces of citrus, honey, and walnut. On the palate, it's sharp and woody with an unmistakable mustiness. The taste is further accentuated by hints of alcohol, tobacco, sweetness, tannins, and nuttiness, all culminating in a hot sensation. The finish is distinctly woody, leaving a lasting impression. While some reviews point to an overwhelming alcohol presence and a lack of typical Caroni characteristics, the dedicated aficionado will appreciate the intricate layers that subtly reveal themselves upon deeper exploration. This bottle epitomizes the mastery of Compagnie des Indes in curating exceptional rums that capture the essence of their origins.
