The Origin R 1994 Caroni 20-year-old rum is an exceptional single cask release, proudly representing the distinguished Caroni distillery. This rare gem, with only 195 bottles produced, stands out for its pale color—a testament to its continental aging, a stark contrast to the typically tropical-aged Caroni rums. Distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2014, this rum offers a robust 52% ABV within a 700 ml bottle.
On the nose, expect a compelling mix of apple, tar, rubber, spice, and vanilla, accompanied by an intriguing mineral and alcoholic undertone, with hints of salt, old bread, and soil. The palate continues to delight with flavors of apple, woody sweetness, and a spicy kick of cinnamon, intertwined with nuances of liquorice, roots, salty popcorn, and a touch of engine oil. The finish is medium-long, marked by lingering notes of tar, wood, apple, spice, and earth, complemented by subtle salt and mineral undertones.
This rum’s overall taste profile can be described as complex and nuanced, offering a rich blend of fruit, spice, and earthy elements, culminating in a smooth, tarry, and woody finish. Origin R 1994 Caroni 20yo is both intriguing and impressive, though it deviates from typical Caroni characteristics, leading to mixed reviews among connoisseurs.
