This exquisite Master of Malt 1997 Caroni 22-year-old rum is a true gem, embodying the rich heritage of the Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2020, this limited release comprises only 284 bottles, each holding 700 ml of this potent spirit at a robust 61.6% ABV. The distillery's signature "dirty" profile shines through, offering a deeply complex and intense experience that will captivate discerning rum enthusiasts. On the nose, expect powerful aromas of tar, solvents, and phenol intertwined with woody undertones. The palate follows through with intense notes of tar, cocoa, and leather, all complemented by a woody backdrop. The finish is long and spicy, leaving lingering hints of tar and leather with a subtle sweetness. While the alcohol might not be perfectly integrated, it adds to the complexity and intrigue of this outstanding rum.
Caroni distillery is renowned for its heavy, "dirty" rum profile, characterized by intense notes of tar, oil, and other industrial flavours, making it a favourite among connoisseurs.
Given its high ABV and complex profile, it’s best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water. This allows the intricate flavours to unfold gradually.
This rum has been aged for 22 years, which contributes to its depth and complexity. The tropical climate of Trinidad and Tobago accelerates the aging process, adding to its richness.
As a passionate rum aficionado, I find the Master of Malt 1997 Caroni 22yo to be an intriguing and rewarding experience. Its intense and "dirty" profile, laden with tar, leather, and spices, offers a journey through the rich history of the Caroni distillery. Despite the high ABV, this rum's complex layers unfold beautifully, providing a memorable tasting experience. This Caroni release is a must-try for those who appreciate bold and unconventional rums.
