The 1423 S.B.S 1993 Trinidad The Beast #2 is an exceptional rum from the legendary Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago. Distilled in 1993 and bottled in October 2021, this single barrel expression underwent 28 years of maturation in ex-bourbon barrels, making it a distinguished and highly sought-after release. As Caroni ceased production in 2000, this rum represents a rare and unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
With an impressive ABV of 49.6% and presented in a 700ml bottle, only 222 bottles of this vintage rum were produced, further accentuating its rarity. The rum boasts a deep, almost black color and reveals a complex bouquet of dried dates, prunes, sticky gingerbread, and astringent furniture polish. On the palate, it offers a robust and intriguing flavor profile characterized by notes of charcoal, rubber, garden herbs, peppery oak, and a touch of sea salt. This controversial and captivating expression is a testament to the profound influence of oak maturation and the rich heritage of the Caroni distillery.
