That Boutique-y Rum Company's 12th batch of Caroni rum is a remarkable 20-year-old expression, boasting an impressive ABV of 63.2%. This limited edition release, with only 423 bottles available, has been carefully matured in ex-Islay whisky casks, adding an extra layer of complexity to the already rich and nutty profile of traditional Caroni rum. On the palate, expect to encounter delightful notes of caramel, walnuts, treacle toffee, and dried fruit, culminating in a lingering finish with subtle hints of smoke.
Known for its distinctive comic book-style labels, filled with intricate details and allusions, That Boutique-y Rum Company has garnered a reputation for meticulous selection and surprising results. This bottling is part of their series celebrating the 10th anniversary of the That Boutique-y Whisky Company range, offering an experience that is both unique and memorable.
Typically, Caroni rum is left to age in its original casks and is released to the market without any additional finishing. However, That Boutique-y Rum Company has taken a bold step by allowing this Caroni to spend some time in a peaty whisky cask, inviting you to discover the nuances and characteristics that this unique maturation process imparts.
The influence of the whisky cask on this heavy Trinidad rum is a fascinating exploration, making this edition a must-try for rum aficionados eager to appreciate Caroni rum in a new light.
