Rum Nation 1997 Caroni Trinidad Cask No. 2003 is an exceptional rum hailing from the renowned Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Bottled by Rum Nation, this 20-year-old spirit is a true testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Caroni rums. Distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2017, this limited edition release boasts an ABV of 57.8% and is available in a 700ml bottle, with only 579 bottles produced. This rum has undergone an extended maturation process in oak casks, further enhanced by a finishing period in sherry casks, which imparts an additional layer of depth and complexity to the spirit. The aroma reveals notes of caramel, vanilla, red berries, ripe papaya, olive oil, and cedar wood. On the palate, it offers a symphony of rich caramel, cocoa, old tires, engine oil, and minty notes. The finish is medium-long, with lingering hints of cocoa, oak, and spices. Rum enthusiasts have highly praised Rum Nation 1997 Caroni Trinidad Cask for its distinct Caroni character, complex flavor profile, and well-balanced texture. Despite some reviewers noting a slightly muted sherry finish, others have appreciated the added complexity it brings to the rum. Overall, this rum is a standout choice for those seeking a high-quality Caroni experience with a unique twist.
This rum is special due to its 20-year aging process in oak casks, its finishing in sherry casks, and its limited production of only 579 bottles. It also carries the distinct and celebrated Caroni character.
