From the renowned Samaroli brand, this rare 1999 Trinidad Rum has matured gracefully for 19 years, culminating in a bottling in 2018. Limited to only 359 bottles, this 700ml gem stands out with an ABV of 45%. Hailing from the sun-drenched region of Trinidad and Tobago, it preserves a character that is both reserved and radiantly complex. While it quietly asserts its significance, the rum’s distinct personality borders on that of a fine whisky. Initially, it presents subtle woodland aromas, followed by a medieval scent that evokes the atmosphere of an ancient Romanesque church with its antique books. These scents gracefully evolve into vanilla undertones, reminiscent of stracciatella ice cream with hints of licorice and dried fruits. On the palate, an explosion of juniper berries and an unexpected, subtle sweetness emerges, a blend of butter and honey. The finish is characterized by sweet notes forming with rounded subtlety, leaving a velvety, drying impression with touches of dried fruit, oak, milk chocolate, and lingering spice and lychee.
This rum is unique due to its limited edition of only 359 bottles, its complex flavor profile, and its long 19-year aging process which gives it a distinct character reminiscent of fine whisky.
To fully appreciate its complex flavors, it is best served neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas and taste. Serving it in a tulip-shaped glass can also enhance the experience.
You can expect a rich array of tropical fruits, spices, and subtle sweetness with undercurrents of licorice, dried fruits, and a velvety texture.
The Samaroli 1999 Trinidad 19yo is an exceptional rum that strikes a perfect balance between subtle sweetness and complex spice. Its long aging process has endowed it with a rich tapestry of flavors that evolve with each sip, making it a sophisticated choice for both rum and whisky enthusiasts. Its limited release adds to its allure, making it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
