The Svenska Eldvatten 1997 The Swedes 16yo rum is a distinguished spirit crafted from the renowned Caroni distillery in Trinidad and Tobago, which is now closed. Distilled in 1997, this exquisite rum has been aged for 16 years in a bourbon cask under the tropical climate, contributing to its rich and intricate flavor profile. Bottled in 2013 by the Swedish negociant Svenska Eldvatten, this rum is presented at its natural cask strength of 61.3% ABV. With only 249 bottles produced from cask #106, it is a rare and exclusive find for serious rum enthusiasts. The aroma of this rum is strikingly intense, offering notes of very ripe fruit such as orange, smoke, burnt sugar, and strong vanilla. Despite its high alcohol content, the alcohol presence is surprisingly subtle on the nose. On tasting, the sweetness of the rum balances the heat from the alcohol, with the typical Caroni flavors taking a backseat to dominant vanilla, fruit, and wood notes, delivering a rich and indulgent experience. Initially aged in Trinidad, the rum was later exported to Sweden in 2013, where it was bottled by the passionate Swedish rum aficionados at The Swedes Rum. This rich and complex rum is a must-try for any serious collector.
