Origin R 1993 Caroni 21-year-old rum presents a unique exploration of the renowned Caroni distillery's lighter style. Bottled in 2014, this rare offering hails from Trinidad and Tobago and boasts an impressive 57% ABV. Limited to only 218 bottles, its exclusivity contributes to its allure. The Caroni distillery, celebrated for its robust and heavy rums, also crafted lighter variants, and this 1993 edition is a testament to their diverse production. With its notes of orange liquor, spicy paprika powder, and a hint of inexpensive chocolate, this particular Caroni contrasts sharply with traditional heavy Caronis. Its profile is distinctive, evoking more of a flavored spirit than a conventional rum. The aroma greets you with a Cognac-like orange liquor scent, while the palate is a symphony of sweetness, featuring hints of oranges, speculoos, and lebkuchen. The finish prolongs the delight with dominant flavors of speculoos and lebkuchen, marking the most memorable aspect of this rum. The Caroni 1993 is often compared to a blended Velier Caroni from the same year, which features a mix of light and heavy styles at a lower alcohol content. In contrast to the Origin R, the blended version offers a full and aromatic nose with notes of coconut, cocoa, coffee, and amarena cherries. Its palate is richly sweet, with bitter chocolate and burnt peanuts, finishing with a medium-long, bitter aftertaste. Many consider the blended Caroni a standout rum, celebrated for its unique character and complexity.
This rum is notable for its lighter style, distinct from the more common heavy Caroni rums, and its unique flavor profile with hints of orange liquor, speculoos, and lebkuchen.
Only 218 bottles of this limited edition rum were produced.
The Caroni distillery is located in Trinidad and Tobago.
As a reviewer, I find the Origin R 1993 Caroni 21-year-old rum to be a fascinating departure from the classic heavy Caroni style. Its sweeter, lighter notes of orange liquor and speculoos provide a unique tasting adventure, although it may not cater to traditionalists. The limited production and distinct character make it a collector's gem, deserving of its place on any rum enthusiast's shelf.
