Discover the elegance and complexity of the Silver Seal 1997 Trinidad Fine Wildlife Series #2, a genuine expression of the Caroni Distillery's craftsmanship. Bottled in 2011, this 14-year-old rum boasts an impressive ABV of 46%, perfectly balancing strength and smoothness in each 700ml bottle. Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, this exquisite rum is a part of Silver Seal's renowned Wildlife Series, which celebrates both the natural beauty of the Caribbean and the art of rum making. On the nose, floral notes intertwine with rich, woody aromas, drawing you into a sensory journey underscored by hints of marzipan, roasted notes, rubber, and citrus. The palate offers a warm, woody flavor that unfolds with layers of caramel sweetness, complemented by roasted, rubbery, and slightly tarry notes, and a hint of citrus for a vibrant kick. The finish is a harmonious blend of woodiness, roasting, and subtle medicinal and herbal notes, leaving a memorable impression. While some may find the rum to be slightly thin and light in profile, letting it rest allows all its complex flavors to fully emerge, offering a well-balanced and multifaceted tasting experience.
This rum is unique due to its origin from the Caroni Distillery in Trinidad and Tobago, its 14-year aging process, and its inclusion in the esteemed Wildlife Series by Silver Seal, which highlights the intricate flavors and the rich heritage of Caribbean rum making.
