The Isla Del Ron 1989 Trinidad Caroni 27yo 52.5% 700ml is an intriguing expression crafted from the legendary Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 1989 and matured for 27 years before being bottled in 2016, this rum offers a unique glimpse into the storied history of Caroni. Limited to only 152 bottles, this rare release boasts a robust ABV of 52.5%, showcasing the power and complexity inherent in a long-aged rum.
On the nose, this rum presents a delicate bouquet of green fruits, reminiscent of less tangy green apple and quince, intertwined with subtle notes of vanilla and a hint of lemon balm. A slight soapiness and metallic character, along with nuances of cookie dough, round out the aromatic profile. The palate begins with a strong attack, unleashing a wave of flavors that are challenging to fully grasp. Sweet and spicy notes dominate, with licorice and a herbaceous hint of lovage, though some reviewers find the alcohol integration lacking and the wood influence minimal. The finish is long and lingering, characterized by licorice and caramel.
This bottling is considered a 'light' Caroni, which means it deviates from the heavy, oily, and intensely flavorful profile that the distillery is renowned for. Instead, it offers a cleaner and lighter experience, though some may find it less impressive compared to other Caroni expressions. Nevertheless, the Isla Del Ron 1989 Trinidad Caroni 27yo remains a noteworthy addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a diverse array of Caroni rums.
