The Caroni 1999, produced at the historic Caroni distillery in Trinidad and bottled by Schotman's Barrel Selection, represents a true gem for rum connoisseurs. This exceptional rum was distilled from molasses and aged for 19 years, reaching its peak complexity before being bottled in 2018. With a robust 61.2% ABV and an incredibly limited release of just 70 bottles, it stands as a rare and coveted treasure in the world of fine rums. The aroma reveals a unique blend of tar, rubber, fruity notes, and solvents, along with hints of leather, creating an intricate and fascinating profile. On the palate, you'll find a symphony of flavors, featuring earthy complexities, licorice, tar, fruitiness, and roasted elements, alongside subtle hints of wood and burnt sensations. The finish is dry and lingering, with bitter and woody notes, complemented by nuances of licorice, iodine, and slight saltiness. This rum encapsulates the quintessential 'dirty' character that Caroni is celebrated for, offering a remarkable experience that balances vast complexity with elegance.
