The Silver Seal 1997 Trinidad Rum, Nature 18yo, 46% 700ml is a distinguished rum distilled in 1997 at the historic Caroni distillery in Trinidad & Tobago, which has been long closed. This exceptional spirit was meticulously aged for 18 years before being bottled in 2015 in Glasgow, Scotland. It's a limited edition, with only 280 bottles available, making it a prized possession for rum enthusiasts and collectors alike.
With a captivating coppery hue, this rum offers an aromatic nose that initially greets you with notes of cinnamon and wood, gradually revealing softer scents of caramel, vanilla, banana, and marzipan. The signature Caroni aroma of tar also makes a notable appearance. On the palate, the rum unveils intense flavors of earth and old leather, complemented by tar and burnt sugar. The finish is long-lasting, dry, and spicy, with hints of tar, salt, lemon, and a touch of cinnamon.
This rum stands as a well-balanced expression of Caroni's distinctive style, featuring a slightly more subtle hydrocarbon note than usual. Its complexity and depth make it an outstanding example of Trinidadian rum, delivering a rich and immersive tasting experience.
