The S.B.S Trinidad HTR 1997 is a remarkable rum produced in Trinidad at the historic Caroni distillery and bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits. Distilled in 1997 from molasses using a Column Still and aged for 18 years, this rum boasts an impressive ABV of 63.1% and carries the HTR mark. The aroma is an inviting blend of spices, wood, tar, raisins, oak, leather, herbs, and a subtle hint of rubber. On the palate, it offers an intricate array of spicy, bitter, and woody notes, complemented by flavors of licorice, tar, leather, herbs, rubber, and a touch of saltiness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering taste of bitterness, earthiness, wood, licorice, vanilla, honey, leather, rubber, and spices. According to various reviews, this rum provides a full-bodied, rich experience with a well-integrated alcohol presence, despite its high ABV. It's a standout choice for any rum enthusiast, celebrated for its unmistakable Caroni character and balanced profile.
