The Rum Shark Caroni 1991 5B Trinidad Single Cask Selection 30yo is a remarkable expression of distilling mastery from the legendary Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2021, this rare edition is limited to just 228 bottles and stands proudly at a robust 62.9% ABV. This overproof rum is an intriguing departure from the typical Caroni profile, exhibiting a lighter character with only faint hints of the distillery's signature burnt rubber and kerosene notes. Instead, it unfolds a balanced and complex flavor profile, with rich layers of dark chocolate, burnt caramel, and subtle spice that will captivate aficionados of Trinidadian rums. Despite its impressive 30-year maturation, it surprisingly avoids excessive woodiness, offering a nuanced and flavorful experience that hints at Spanish-inspired echoes more reminiscent of rums from Belize. This unique bottling by Rum Shark is an excellent choice for those seeking a sophisticated and potent rum that challenges traditional Caroni expectations.
No, this particular Caroni expression is lighter and has less of the typical dirty notes associated with classic Caroni rums.
