Moon Import 1967 The Birds Caroni Trinidad 20yo 45% 750ml is a rare gem from the 1960s, offering a glimpse into the historical craftsmanship of Caroni before the renowned Velier era. Distilled in 1967 and aged for 20 years, this limited-edition rum was bottled in 1987, with only 600 bottles produced, making it a highly sought-after collector's item. At 45% ABV, this rum carries the signature boldness of Caroni, housed in a 750ml bottle. The nose exhibits a light Trinidad rum profile, initially reminiscent of the Spanish style, with notes of oak, vanilla, and a touch of adhesive. As the rum opens up, it reveals more complexity, with hints of tar, rubber, and dried fruit emerging. The palate is mild and somewhat thin, displaying pronounced woody, tar, vanilla, and roasted flavors, yet there's a spicy and roasted sharpness that some might find overwhelming. The finish lingers with vanilla and woody notes, though it leaves a faint and quick memory. While opinions vary, many appreciate this bottling for its educational value, offering a unique perspective on Caroni’s diverse legacy. However, some may find it underwhelming compared to more robust Caroni expressions, likening it to an aged vodka in its lightness. This rum is perfect for enthusiasts looking to explore different facets of Caroni's historical profile.
